Split Forum Mod

[dougiefresh]

Haven't forgotten about y'all, just been REALLY busy with work and a few other projects....

[garyee]

At last, I don't manage to organize the categories on a sub-forum :
On sub-forum #1, I created the categorie "Fufufu" on first position, and after, a 2nd categorie "AAaaa" on order "After Fufufu".
Unfortunately, when I navigate to the sub-forum #1, categorie "AAaaa" appear before "Fufufu"...

Hi,

did issue get fixed? because I just ran into the same issue, the category order does work in the manage-board view, but not on the froum it self.
But I do not know if it is an froum fault, or one from the mod.

I had to change:
Line 43 (Subs-BoardIndex.php) to:

Code Select Expand

$result_boards = $smcFunc['db_query']('', '
And Line 66:

Code Select Expand

AND b.child_level BETWEEN ' . $boardIndexOptions['base_level'] . ' AND ' . ($boardIndexOptions['base_level'] + 1))." ORDER BY c.cat_order,b.board_order",

in order for it to work!

Dear dougiefresh,

It's possible to add a possibility to set access permissions to each forum for each user?
I really need this.

You could simply create a group for every sub-forum with permissions to only to do stuff in that forum(eg. with board permissions).
Then simply put your users in corresponding group and voilà.

in order for it to work!

Correction:
Change Line 66/67 to:

Code Select Expand

AND b.child_level BETWEEN ' . $boardIndexOptions['base_level'] . ' AND ' . ($boardIndexOptions['base_level'] + 1)).
            ' ORDER BY '.($boardIndexOptions['include_categories'] ? 'c.cat_order,':'').'b.board_order',

Hi,

I'm using version 1.35, and version 2.0.11 of smf.

The mod installed ok, but when I try to add a subforum, I get the following error:

"The specified subforum ID has already been used. Please select another ID number."

I can't add any subforums, so I only have the one "main" subforum that's the original forum before installing the mod.

Do you know what could be causing this?

Thanks
Josh

About a month ago, I've lost my job and have been severely depressed.  I need some help, so if you want to help, please do so!

I've uploaded this mod to GitHub here: https://github.com/douglasorend/Split_Forum_Mod

[dougiefresh]

Thank you for updates

few errors:
MoveTopic.php :

Code Select Expand

LEFT JOIN {db_prefix}categories AS c ON (c.id_cat = b.id_cat AND c.forumid = {int:forumid}))
it should be:

Code Select Expand

LEFT JOIN {db_prefix}categories AS c ON (c.id_cat = b.id_cat AND c.forumid = {int:forumid})

but still all boards are visible on the list (categories from other subforums are hidden), so I made few edits:

Code (Find) Select Expand


SELECT b.id_board, b.name, b.child_level, c.name AS cat_name, c.id_cat


Code (Add after) Select Expand


, c.forumid


Code (Find) Select Expand


AND b.redirect = {string:blank_redirect}


Code (Add after) Select Expand


AND b.redirect = {string:blank_redirect}
AND c.forumid = {int:forumid}


and it seems that boards are filtered correctly now

Apologizes about the long wait between versions!!  This has been fixed for v1.36....

[dougiefresh]

Okay I got 1.35 working now. If anyone is interested ... I created a mod, to (re-)enable moving topics between subforums (with enhanced titles in the move-selectbox) and also disables the "you are not allowed error message".

While working on the mod I recognized that you have to be really careful when configuring your system, there are several places where one has to put in URLs, don't mess them up.
(Like for example if you start one with https and another with http, there will be some faulty behavior somewhere!

I'm interested in what the mod you've made.  If you want, I can integrate it into the Split Forum Mod....

[dougiefresh]

When i try to create 1 more subforum (currently there 0 subforums) - i receive such an error "The specified subforum ID has already been used. Please select another ID number."

It's been fixed for version 1.36.....

I've made some code edits in order to try to address this issue for version 1.36.....  However, I haven't been able to reproduce this at this time, so I can't verify the effectiveness of this fix....

Yes, I can add this to the mod.  However, doing so can't and won't stop users from remaining as guests and browsing a forum without restricting guests from that subforum, and honestly, it is a REALLY BAD idea to stop guests from browsing a forum, especially since it can effect the search engines as well....

It's possible to add a possibility to set access permissions to each forum for each user?

It's been implemented for version 1.36.....  You must turn on the option on the Subforum Settings page.

[dougiefresh]

Uploaded v1.36 - September 12th, 2016
o Added code to deny subforum access to membergroups using on permission system.
o Fixed code issue produced by v1.34-to-1.35 upgrade XML files.
o Fixed missing variable declaration within Subs-SplitForumHooks.php.
o Fixed issue with moving topics where boards not in subforum are visible.
o Fixed issue with creating subforums where advanced items not shown.
o Attempted fix on "global" board and/or category sorting issue.



@Everybody: Thank you for all the bug reports and/or solutions to bug reports!  Hopefully this update takes care of the problems that have been mentioned.

Hi man,

nice that you put it on Github, that makes it easier to help an PR the changes!

I don't know if it makes sense to put the "move topics between subforums" functionality into the mod. I think it would be better to keep the subforums seperated.
If someone wants to move topics, he has to install my mod. I also put it up on Github:

Hey Dougie,

You modification is erasing permissions to the boards.
I just installed the mod on clean version of newest SMF and I confirmed it.

See the attached screens.

At the first is all okay, the permission is granted. But when I edit the group (and I dind't changed the permissions, but something other; for example the leader of the group), during saving a new options of group, it's deleting all previous permissions and I must granted it again. It's very annoying.

I hope you solved it as fast as possible.

Thanks again for great modification,

[JerzyLS]

Dougie,

How about erasing permissions to boards issue during editing the groups?

How about erasing permissions to boards issue during editing the groups?

I haven't looked into this issue yet.  I suspect it is an issue with the SMF cache, not an issue with the mod "erasing" permissions (which it DOES NOT DO!!!)  Many forum owners have been complaining about the cache issue for a while....

[JerzyLS]

But if anybody edit the group, then the members of a group can't see the boards.
Because the boards in group settings are unchecked.

It's not cache issue.

[dougiefresh]

Can you replace your Sources/Subs-SplitForumAdminHooks.php with the attached file and tell me if this makes any difference with your bug report?  Thanks!

[JerzyLS]

Not working.

First screen - before saving the settins in membergroup
Second screen - after...

If the boards are unchecked - the members of the group can't see boards.

Screen 3:

Here I can edit my group without worries about lost of permissions to see a boards.

Split Forum Mod here is uninstalled.
