Here's a suggestion. I used this mod before and I was a little annoyed that the usernames were searched instead of real names. It was fairly easy to change, and I think this feature should be added to the mod.

Tested on SMF 1.1.10
Works fine.

On SMF 1.1.10
Error in Package Installation At least one error was encountered during a test installation of this package. 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.

Dannii

That's a problem with the package manager, not with this mod. I suggest asking for help in the general SMF support boards.

With me I just don't know how to actually set someone as a group mod, could you explain to where I go and what I need to do to have a member as a group mod please?

When you modify a group there's a new box you can add the moderators' names too.

You can do it manually by adding the code in your notepad.
Usually it happens because you have another Mod installed that changed to the same code insertion.

Anyhow,
I've uninstalled this again. Too much pain in coding. I wasted too much time just to make this work.

Wrong MySQL Alteration
The file modification didn't work completely. And if I did it manually, it has wrong <after> / <before> in manager's templates, and wrong table alteration structure in groupmod's template
Uninstall file doesn't include dropping 'GroupModOptions' in 'membergroups' database

I was hoping to use this heavily, but this Mod should be written back from the scratch.

cheers,

What are you going on about?
What exactly do you think is wrong??
"Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise."

Dooh...
Hang on for 1 or 2 days, you're pushing me to install it back to show the error, while i'm busy at the moment.
I'll post here when I'm ready.

FYI,
My forum is heavily moded, so that's 1 of the trouble.

Those're my problems yesterday.

I'll try it for the SMF's clean install and find out the different.

Dannii

What exactly is wrong? Tell me what is wrong with the MySQL alteration, or which file modification didn't work etc. And are you sure you understand the format correctly?

The uninstall file isn't supposed to remove it, so that if you upgrade to a new version of the mod, you won't lose your settings.

quick reply:

This is just my opinion.
Don't you think that you should not change the original database structure, while you are absolutely not sure that you can revert back successfuly.
Please make a new table for `GroupModOptions` field, dont alter the `membergroups` table.

I just installed the Group Manager from hxxp:code.google.com/p/smfgroups/ [nonactive] , NOT from http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=171 , the mods WORKS in my clean installed SMF.

I'll diving a little bit to see the codes to find the errors I got previously.

Dannii

Deleting fields is really really super easy,  but leaving it in won't cause any problems to anything else. And the groups table is small, it's not like it will massively increase your database size if you leave it in.

Anyways, I'm not developing this mod anymore.

I've compared the files.
You should notified everyone to install Group_Manager_1_5.tar.gz from its Project Home, as it's the stable one.

You should terminate the http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=171 page, or upload that 1.5 version into it.

This's a good news, i'll try this mod to my live forum.

Dannii

What exactly was incompatible??? Which precise file edit? Why do you refuse to answer?
"Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise."

#656
LOL... hang on, dude.
I don't refuse, i just don't have much time to dig.
I only compared 1.4 with 1.5. I didn't make any change to the 1.5 ver.
You made those mods, right? You know the difference between those files.

So, another quick reply:
Your codes search strings with complete lines, meanwhile that line has been altered with another mod: Personal Message to Groups or ezPortal.

It and Group Moderators share the same line alteration.
What I caught about EzPortal:

<file name="$themedir/index.template.php">
<operation>
<search position="replace"><![CDATA[
// Are we using right-to-left orientation?
]]></search>

the string is with 1 tab space before "// Are we using right-to-left orientation?".

eZPortal changed it with 2 tabs.


// EzPortal
if (isset($context['current_action2']))
$current_action = $context['current_action2'];

// Are we using right-to-left orientation?


May be that's my case.

Dannii

Seeing as my mod was released long before theirs, isn't it their responsibility to make sure they're compatible with mine? ;)

And actually someone else took over development for 1.5, but it doesn't look like he's active anymore.

Works fine.

I'm also using that version but I cannot see any difference in my forum system after the installation of this mod?? I have really meticulously looked around in the member group part in the administration center. I cannot find a way to add a specific moderator for a member group. There just is no such field when I click modify on the member group.


Dannii

Are you using the default theme?
