Shared Forum Mod -- latest version: 0.2.5.4

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

What would be involved in updating it to the latest TP?  Seems like such a shame to lose a great mod.

Time... I need to familiarize myself with TinyPortal 1.0.x and test the necessary changes.

As for your other questions: you can't have "subforum admins" with this mod (the mod is about grouping of categories, not extra security settings and permissions) and multiple domains or subdomains are not supported (yet).

Good mod here, and my son has it working with Simpleportal www.northerndirttracks.com/forum. 

I'm getting ready to install this on SMF 1.1.7 with TP 1.0.63 (lastest version).  Yes, I will be putting it on a test site before I do the live one as I have many mods going also. I'll post back here on my progress...no I'm not a coder but want this mod.


and wanted to let you know I signed up on your forum, but it seems as if it was abandoned..LOL

Wonderful; it's working nicely and can be seen here, in conjunction with Look But No Read:

My only request would be, the ability to put restrictions on the forum listing; such as, non admin members not being able to see the link to the Admin forums, since they have no need to go there, and I don't really think they need to be able to see the link, certain level members not see the link to forum areas that don't apply to them, etc.

It's a great mod if you use TP. Use it with membergroup mod if you prefer certain board to be kept hidden from others.

Aye, and I do use TP.

Which membergroup mod are you talking about, or am I misunderstanding you?


Another thing I would like to see adjusted would be the Who's Online page; you can only see members on the same Forum as you; everyone else is listed as "Unknown Action"

[Hj Ahmad Rasyid Hj Ismail]

Well... with or without membergroup mod you can always allow / disallow access from Admin -> Boards -> Modify Boards. Create separate membergroups for each forum you want to make.

Great mod. I use it with Dilbermc, Tp and a dropdown menu. http://passion-xbmc.org/forum/
The feature Hide main linktree dont work when a board is in the main forum and in a séparate forum but that's not a too big problem.




Sorry for my bad English.

Hi, after some tweaks and testings, I also find that this mod which is based on the original goosemoose shared forum mod can be used when smf 1.1.8 is bridged with Joomla 1.5.9 using SJSB bridge. Please note that this bridge is unsupported bridge but works.

This mod (Sarge Shared Forum Mod) can work even without TP. All you have to do is to remove all TP code inside the downloaded package.

The Steps:
1. Follow the instructions on how to install SJSB. Note that the SJSB smf mod created for SMF 2.0 rc1 also works with SMF 1.1.8. The Joomla com, mods and plugins work with small warning. Please get this work first.

2. Find at around line 182 in administrator/components/com_smf/helper.php:

Code Select Expand

return 'index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid='.$Itemid;
Change to:

Code Select Expand

return 'index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid='.$Itemid.'&action='.$_REQUEST['forum'];

3. Install Sarge Shared Forum Mod. Create the forums with the categories that you wanted e.g. Admin & Moderator.

4. Create a url link in Joomla Menu to your respective forum. e.g. a)http://www.yourjoomlawebsite.com/index.php?option=com_smf&view=forum&Itemid=2&action=Admin
b)http://www.yourjoomlawebsite.com/index.php?option=com_smf&view=forum&Itemid=2&action=Moderator

Admin and Moderator is a sample of your selected categories combination.

You will find that when you enter into forum link one i.e. Admin, you cannot go to another forum link two i.e. Moderator unless you put a specific url link (like action=Moderator) as in the sample.

That is all from me. Feel free to ask questions. Good luck.

Wow Ahrais, you're good ^_^

But I use SimplePortal, and don't want to use Joomla, or anything else, or go outside SMF, yet I want this mod. Any help?

[Hj Ahmad Rasyid Hj Ismail]

I guess you can use it in SimplePortal. The only reason the shared forum mod works is because of custom menu link. If you can create this in SimplePortal, you can use this mod. Just remove TP code in the downloaded files and install. Hide the main forum, if you do not want people to see it directly. Or utilize smf membergoup functions.

[Garou]

I got to say this mod rocks!!!

I wish I had found it a year ago when the WoW Guild I belonged to splintered and the splinters wanted to still communicate and share much of the existing info we had on the original site. I tried a setup using templates and user groups but in the end it just didn't work out and everyone went their separate ways. This mod would have solved everything. Ive got several ideas in my head on how to use it for other projects though.

Id love to see it upgraded to 2.x but at the moment it would have to stand alone from TP. If the only reason TP is needed is for the custom menu link couldn't something like it be integrated into the mod?

[Sarge]

SMF 2.0 is now in RC stage, so I'll create an updated and standalone version of the mod for it.

[Sarge]

Meanwhile, I've created a standalone package for SMF 1.1.x. The package for SMF 1.1.x and TP 0.9.8.3 will be released later.

Shared Forum Mod 0.2.5.4 for SMF 1.1.x

(For SMF 1.1.x only; no SMF 2.0 or TinyPortal support in this package!)

The package is attached at: http://www.albwebmaster.com/index.php?topic=40.0 (register to download)

Changes from 0.2.5.3:

• Started a separate development branch for "vanilla" SMF 1.1.x (without TinyPortal).
• Added a dropdown menu for forums.
• Added better support for SMF board-specific themes; the "Override Member's Theme" option for each board in Admin > Boards doesn't have to be selected.
• Moved the mod version and copyright above the SMF copyright.
• Added experimental support for forum-specific languages.

Hi,

Perhaps a bug found:


In Admin/Forum/Smiley and Messages Icons/

Edit message Icon: I don't see the list icon.
And if I clic on "Add a new Icon" 

Unknown column 'b.ID_CAT' in 'where clause'
File: /home/users4/s/shaitan/www/Sources/ManageSmileys.php
Line: 1128

If I déactivate Shared Forum Mod, the bug disapear.
