Title: Read Topic Permission
Post by: Sheepy on November 30, 2005, 10:48:58 PM
Link to Mod (http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=231)

This mod adds three group permissions that allow/deny users from reading normal/sticky/digest topics.  Listing of topic is unaffected.

Own topics are not affected.
Attachments are not affected, however if you cannot read a topic then you can't see links to its attachments.
If a user cannot access a board, read permissions cannot help it.

Digest topic is supported by Topic Digest mod and is optional.  This is an independent mod.
Sticky digest topics are treated as sticky topic for read permission if sticky is enabled.

Check access for recent posts or last posts, but not search result (that only shows partial posts anyway).  Search can be controlled with another permission.

Error messages can be customised in modifications.english.php

The package you tried to upload either is not a valid package or has become corrupted.

"This mod adds three group permissions that allow/deny users from reading normal/sticky/digest topics."

These settings...they appear under the "global board permissions" section of the "permissions by membergroup" page of the admin board? Specifically, under "General", located under the "Moderate Board" permission?

Reason I asked is because I installed your mod, and three check boxes appeared there. Unfortunately, they are not LABELLED, so I have no idea which box belongs to what...
Title: Re: Read Topic Permission
Post by: Sheepy on December 12, 2005, 11:14:58 PM
The mod supports only English, so if you're using some other languages then the labels won't show.

IIRC, from top to bottom, the settings are permission for reading stickies, normal posts, and digest posts (effective only if topic digest mod is also installed, which supports English and Chinese).  I would suggest registering a test account to verify that you're setting the correct permissions.[/olor]
Title: Re: Read Topic Permission
Post by: Sheepy on December 12, 2005, 11:16:20 PM
Oh yes, it is possible to show the labels, if it is really because you're not using english, by copying the labels, helps and error messages from modification.english.php to modification.whatever-language-you-are-using.php.
Title: Re: Read Topic Permission
Post by: Gwydion Frost on December 13, 2005, 06:10:19 AM
Uh, I AM using english.

Here's the newest...I uninstalled it, reloaded it, and tried to reinstall. I get this message:

Modification parse error

when it's testing to install...

I'll bite, why would it be doing this?
Title: Re: Read Topic Permission
Post by: Sheepy on December 13, 2005, 10:47:18 PM
Hmm.  This is curious, because I've friends who successfully installed it.  I'll retest the mod today then.
Title: Re: Read Topic Permission
Post by: Gwydion Frost on December 14, 2005, 01:19:19 AM
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, because from what I've seen, you have reliable mods... LOL
Title: Re: Read Topic Permission
Post by: Sheepy on December 15, 2005, 01:41:23 AM
Yes I see what is wrong now.  Messed up quite big this time :o, although it shouldn't affect functionality or security.  Trying to find the best way to fix it...

Technically, I accidently keyed two permission checking operations with same comment, so they are both applied twice, one after another.  As a result they can't be uninstalled with the usual reverse operation.

[edited: added technical details]
Title: Re: Read Topic Permission
Post by: Sheepy on December 15, 2005, 05:19:11 AM
Fixed.  New version 1.0.1.  Users experiencing no problems are advised to upgrade as well since old version does not check read permission in show member post.

Yeah nice mod. Am looking for this for long. Just wondering is there a DEMO for it? :)

Suggestion:

By the way instead of error message, it would be preferable to show a login screen for the guest as well if they need login permission to read the topics?

Thank you in advance!

Yes this mod is designed for and so far only for 1.1 RC 1.

For inability to create topics, you may wish to seek help in the support board, unless it is proven or highly suspected that it is related with this mod (which is extraordinary unlikely).  :-\

Thanks.  I fear that I do not have a English demo site availble at this moment, but I'll consider building one.  ::)

The permissions are handled like default ones - if a user do not have the right to read a topic, it results in the standard error message screen, and if that user is a guest, a login form will also be displayed.

In list of multiple posts, such as unread posts or user posts, the post body will be replaced by an error message, without login form even for guests.  This I can do without making the mod dependent on theme.

That say, as long as the language resource in modification.english.php is available, it should works for all themes.  8)

Hi,

has anyone tried this mod with 1.0.5 yet? I guess I'll have to upgrade if I want it to work ... on the other hand, there's only version RC2 right now to upgrade to. What would you recommend to do?
Title: Re: Read Topic Permission
Post by: Sheepy on January 01, 2006, 05:28:22 PM
If past record is any indication, we'll get 1.1 final in a few days, but I feel slightly more maybe needed this time.  Eitherway, it shouldn't be far and I'm going to upgrade the mod so I'd suggest you wait a week or two and upgrade when it arrives.

If you want RC1, or Beta3Public, or 1.0.x, you can get it from the download page.  Archived downloads or something, at the top.
Title: Re: Read Topic Permission
Post by: OlliMuc on January 04, 2006, 06:37:27 PM
Hey Sheepy,

thanks a lot for the reply, I'm happy to wait for the 1.1 relase. Really looking forward to it  ;).
Title: Re: Read Topic Permission

Updated for RC2.
Title: Re: Read Topic Permission
Post by: FBI on February 04, 2006, 08:39:32 PM
Nice mod. :)
Currently using RC2. Which setting should be checked? I am trying to setting in Admin Area - Permissions - Modify Guest Group.

There is 3 new:
- Read sticky topic      
- Read normal topic --> I check and Uncheck , nothing happen on Guest viewing (still can't read)      
- Read digest topic (with digest mod installed), currently I didnt installing, yet.

Thanks..

thanks for the mod, very useful,
but what about search engines? i think this will not allow them to index the forum, how can we allow them to do so?

thanks

Post by: fiver on February 13, 2006, 12:57:52 AM
Hi Sheepy,

I found in my Test board that Guest can still read topic posted by Guest. Can this also be permission-based in the future version of your Mod?

Looks like 1.1 gold is no where in sight, so I finally decided to fix it before I go to Disneyland tomorrow.  Oh that leaves me 5 hours of sleep...

All RC2 users should upgrade.  I haven't tested on RC1, but with version 1.0.3 the permissions are working on RC2 now.  Also fixed two relatively minor bugs - see history.txt for details.

Hello, I have installed this mod on my website succesfully...
But on an other forum I am trying to install this, I can't set the permissions, because I don't see the options for it. The mod installed succesfully, and gave no errors, so you should think it should work. ;)

I don't think that an other mod is messing things up, if so, I will try to find the mod which is messing the things up...

Greetings,
GJ-tje

P.S. How was your trip to Disneyland? :D

EDIT:

I have deinstalled every mod which I could disable, and still the mod doesn't work...
Are there any files being changed upon installation? If so, can you give me a list of the files?
Title: Re: Read Topic Permission
Post by: Sheepy on April 17, 2006, 08:23:38 AM
Since it adds on to the group permission list, the chance the options themselves get interferenced by other mods is pretty small.  (However there are other parts that sees a higher chance of causing conflicts)

If everything goes right, three permissions for reading topics can be found in each group's permission page, first group of topic permisssions.  The list of files that get changed is displayed by package manager before you really install the mod.

If you can list your environment (PHP, MySQL, and SMF version) then I can do a test.

I can not give a fully detailed list of exact version numbers, but the webserver with the problem has:
PHP 5
MySQL 5
SMF 1.1RC2
Webserver: IIS6 (Windows 2003)

We get no parse errors and the MySQL table has been made as well

Version of my Board is 1.0.7 (upgraded from 1.0.5) and how can I apply this MOD?

(My board is modified a lot so I cannt upgrade it to 1.1RC2 :(( )
Title: Re: Read Topic Permission
Post by: Aleko on May 30, 2006, 03:56:01 AM
Hello,

I'm using 1.1RC2, I installed this MOD (1.0.3) everything works perfect except that users are unable to access "Show unread posts since last visit".

They get an SQL error...

This only affects normal Users, Admins are not affected by this...

I really need this MOD :-[

EDIT :

Detail of SQL error users get :

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ')
WHERE b.ID_BOARD IN (11)
AND bp.ID_BOARD = IF(b.permission_mode = 1, b.ID' at line 3
File: /home/www/web/forum/Sources/Security.php
Line: 752

Again, this only affects users, admin is not affected by this...
Title: Re: Read Topic Permission
Post by: Carlos Gandra on June 17, 2006, 01:32:55 PM
Hi,

It is possible to apply this mod to all the topics in all boards except two of them (who is suposed to be in public domain and guest could see and read) ?

Thanks ;)
Title: Re: Read Topic Permission
Post by: Sheepy on June 25, 2006, 03:01:23 AM
Yes, read topic permission can be set by board. Check permission -> permission by board. You've to first enable advanced permission (and perhaps permission for post-count based group) in permission -> settings.
Title: Re: Read Topic Permission
Post by: Sheepy on June 25, 2006, 05:12:37 AM
To Aleko: I installed it on a clean installation of 1.1 RC2 (with official security patch) and there're no problem accessing unread post.  Actually the mod does not change Security.php (as displayed in Package Manager).

To thinhvanhieu: I'm afraid this mod is strictly 1.1 only.  I first develop it on my own 1.0 forum, but that's before I make it a mod, so the mod itself supports only 1.1 - I thought 1.0 was close to the end of its life cycle.  I got 50+ mods installed, so you're not the only one having the upgrade problem...
Title: Re: Read Topic Permission
Post by: Sheepy on June 25, 2006, 06:47:13 AM
List of files that get changed:

1.     Execute Modification     ./Sources/Display.php     Test successful
2.    Execute Modification    ./Sources/ManagePermissions.php    Test successful
3.    Execute Modification    ./Sources/Profile.php    Test successful
4.    Execute Modification    ./Sources/Recent.php    Test successful
5.    Execute Modification    ./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php    Test successful

And then it will insert (install) / delete (uninstall) permission for reading (special) topics for every user group and for every board.

Post by: Caltan on July 06, 2006, 10:24:54 AM
I have an interesting challenge, and I can't quite figure out how to make your mod work the way I need it to.  I have forums where I would like all regular members to be able to post, but only members in one specific membergroup can read the topics (and its subsequent replies).  The problem I have is this: when used with a regular member in no member groups aside from regular_members, this works like a champ (I commented out the IS_TOPIC_STARTER line to fix that problem of reading replies to one's own posts).  However, any time a member in ANY other member group ASIDE from regular members tried to read the posts and replies, they can, whether they're in the one group that has signified read permissions for that forum or not.  I assume that this is based on the isAllowedTo('read_normal_topic') not looking to differentiate between membergroups, but I can't seem to find it.  Can you help steer me in the right direction?  Thanks.
Title: Re: Read Topic Permission
Post by: ArkServer on July 06, 2006, 01:35:38 PM
I read your post but i still can't figure out how i can disable certain boards for entering topics. They can view the topiclist but cannot enter the topic itself.
Title: Re: Read Topic Permission
Post by: Caltan on July 06, 2006, 03:49:28 PM
That's exactly what I want, viewing the topic list but not entering the topic itself.  If you select the permission by board (local permissions) and then uncheck 'can read normal topic,' then this works -- unless the member has a group, ANY group.  I only want members of one specific group to be able to read it, and it doesn't differentiate between the Can_Read_This_Topic group and Can_Read_Some_Other_Topic_All_Together group. 

What I need is for people with the Topic1 permssions to be able to read only all posts in Topic1, and everyone else to just view the lists (and be able to post).  And people with Topic2 permissions can view Topic2, et cetera.  Right now, if you have EITHER Topic1 OR Topic2 permssions, you can read both Topic1 AND Topic2.  That seems like a bug to me, and I'm not sure how to fix it.

Title: Re: Read Topic Permission
Post by: metallica48423 on July 07, 2006, 12:15:45 PM
This works very nicely and is almost exactly what I want, but is it possible to *only* show topics which the member has permission to view/post in, including sticky topics?  Since I have the permission globally enabled everywhere else to read stickies and posts i'm assuming it would be just a simple modification or adding of isallowedto(blah) etc etc. where it displays the posts.

Say member X is logged in....

there are some posts in the board by the following members

C
X
Y
X
X
C
L
M
J

I want, to user x, for the board to only show:

X
X
X

or for user C,

C
C

Is this possible?

It is strongly recommended that you do not continue with installation unless you know what you are doing, and have made a backup very recently. This error may be caused by a conflict between the package you're trying to install and another package you have already installed, an error in the package, a package which requires another package that you don't have installed yet, or a package designed for another version of SMF.

I want to upgrade but am afraid it will not work anymore...

Seems this usefull module is dead.... that's really bad.

Has anyone tested it with 1.1.2?
As the module is developed for RC-versions, risk grows to get errors from one version update to the next.

Problem is, that i'm the first to try out new things, but is it easy to downgrade again afterwards? I have a buzzy forum...

Would be awesome to have this mod for 1.1.2

Since there no movement here, does anyone have any alternative mod that has the same possibilities?

for anyone that is interested I download "ReadTopicPermission104_SMF11.tar.gz" and installed it on SMF 1.1.2 using package manager from my admin section and it works flawlessly.
Title: Re: Read Topic Permission
Post by: digikleuter on April 16, 2007, 05:22:20 AM
I tried that but the manager said it wasn't compatible?

I changed to "View_Only_Boards_1.1". Works fine!

Please help-

check the permissions... this mod adds a permission that a member must have to be able to read posts.

Hi guys,

This mod is not dead - I just installed ReadTopicPermission104_SMF11.tar.gz on another forum with smf1.1.2 and it works fine.

See www.my2home.info

This is the way I did it:

1. Download ReadTopicPermission104_SMF11.tar.gz onto my hard disk,

2. Go to the forum's Admin > Package > Download,

3. Click "Browse" to where I stored it on my hard disk and upload it,

and install it from there.

It was a smooth installation. It is the 2nd mod I installed on my2home.info

On my own forum fivearts.net, it is the 23rd mod after installing 22 other mods and it installed fine too.

Hope it will install fine for you too.

I just wanted to say thank you to the creater of this mod. It's so great! Did exactly what I needed and I'm actually a bit surprised that it's so difficult with the default forum not to have more settings that allow customizable permissions. All I wanted to do was allow people to see my forums, but not read the topics. It seemed that I could only have guests to see the forum at all! This mod allowed me to show people what they are missing by not registering for my forums. Thanks again, great job.

Also, I did have issues with the older version. It gave me a warning that there were conflicts and that I shouldn't install. Well, I didn't realize that I downloaded the older version of this mod! It's not clear on the download page, because the old one is listed at the top. That makes no sense to me. Having said that, the new version installed flawlessly to my surprise!!

I also had the issue of not seeing the text for the settings. I resolved this by changing the default language. It seem like there are 3 different English settings, so I chose "English" and it works fine now.

I too would like to thank the maker of this mod!
my members are very happy with it, it actually keeps our moms from reading our posts (this is not a joke, but it is funny!) and some (ex-)boyfriends. all they have to do is register to be able to read, but then we know that they are 'spying' on us ;)
it does allow possible members to see what our tiny forum has to offer

installed it today on my moved/reinstalled fresh 1.1.4 SMF, the first thing I installed after the database was succesfully transferred, and as always: smooth install, works like a charm!

Anything similar for 2.0 RC 3 .. things fall apart at the PROFILE update

Um, there's a different mod called topic permission... for 2.0 RC3?

Post by: bryan_49ers on May 19, 2010, 09:05:20 PM
Maybe... and maybe I'm clueless cause I installed that mod but can't find the permissions to edit it...
Title: Re: Read Topic Permission

If you installed a different mod to this one, you should ask in that mod's support thread where the author will likely see it.
