Shared Forum Mod -- latest version: 0.2.5.4

Nice to see same news on this mod! Tell me, will the next version work on tinyportal 1.0.5?

Quick question...

If I was to strip out the TP modifications, and customize my index page to contain the menu of the forums, would it install and function error free?

I can't promise, but I'll try. Note, however, that TinyPortal 1.0.5 is still in beta.

Yes, it should.

However, there's at least one linktree modification that still needs to be made in Load.php, but the TP version needs to be replaced with the SMF-only one. I will let you know what are the exact modifications to remove or change.

So lemme get this straight...  basically this is like having two separate forums in the same one? 

Like, say I have my forum, and I decide to create a gaming league for players to fight each other and get a rank, I can create a forum inside of mine that they can do to, which only discusses the league parts of the site?


And if so, they are both edited in the same control panel and share the same mods, etc?

And also, can I set to share statistics?  For example, include the post stats on the main, but not the main's stats on the second?


This sounds awesome.  What a cool mod.  Please clarify for me.

U can see it in action in my signature link...

I've to tabs on the top right, the first for mainstream content, and the second one for adult content... Is a good example to understand what this amazing mod can do! And I've two different themes...

[bfeo]

brilliant mod! 

[Sarge]

And also, can I set to share statistics?  For example, include the post stats on the main, but not the main's stats on the second?

The answer to this is no. It's easy to do it, but I haven't added this into the mod in order to avoid confusion.

The answer to your other questions is yes.

[bfeo]

So they don't share?

[bfeo]

Wait wait.  This mod control panel, for changing boards...

Can permissions be assigned to edit that without them being admin or having access to the main forums?

And can they edit say, their theme, but not have access to the rest of the site?

I was considering creating sections for different organizations on my site, and having staff that don't have administrator powers to the main forum, and things like the arcade, etc.  It would be great if they could edit the look and feel of their sections and be able to moderate them without my having to get involved.

[bfeo]

How many forums can I put into one?  Is it unlimited?  Or just one?

[bfeo]

..

[[SiNaN]]

Unlimited AFAIK.

[bfeo]

Ok, how about this though...  would the admins of main section have power over everything, because I want to have like, head admins, and then admins of only separate forums.

Also, what would the administrator powers of shared forums give over the features?  For example, the unfinished rivals mod, is a gaming league setup that only admins can edit.  Would I be able to allow admins of the sub forum to administrate this league?  Or would the mod split into separate?  Because that'd be even better.

But if it splits into separate, what would happen with mods like smf shop, and felblog and the arcade?  Would they be able to exist between the shared forums?

[ChainLightning]

bfeo, the mod really only acts like a second forum (or however many you create). As Admin, you will only see the boards of that second (or whatever) category/board/forum in the Admin CP, where you make up new boards.

You could set Global Moderators to have more permissions (on those additional "forums") simply by using Board Specific Permissions. You could also, potentially, create additional usergroups that can only use, access or have control over just those boards.

Hey Sarge? I'm not getting the "view unread" to show the unread posts from both my forums. It only shows them from the "main" forum. Did I miss something?

[ElectricSquid]

With this mod, would I be able to use 2 totally different URLs, one for each category?

Like some-url.com for cat 1
and different-url.com for cat 2

Does this mod give that functionallity?

Here's a link to a topic where I expain it better.

I ran into an error trying to install this mod onto a fairly clean 1.1.6 with TP 1.0.6.

I don't have

Code Select Expand

$context['linktree'][] = array('url' => $scripturl, 'name' => $context['forum_name']);

in my ./Sources/TPortal.php


Help with this would be great.  Under normal circumstances, I'd look in an entirely clean forum for it, but I haven't installed any mods that effect Tinyportal.


Here's my file:

[ormuz]

This mod is for tinyportal 0.9.x

I need something almost identical to this that will work with subomains located on the same server as the domain.
