the instructions aren't to hard to follow and there is a punbb++ thing in development which includes alot of mods

We have a winner!!!!

i have one error with this mod when I try to make a new post..

"Unable to fetch group info."

and seen no solution please they do not help me.

reason why I see I am not first with this problem, in previous messages already have written the same

med how did u make it so chal had 0 posts in post total? did u just deleate his post count?

PS: of you give some one more then one grp.. what grp will they be under? is it just the highst one up?

Hi, I'm pretty new to PunBB but I'm already getting comfortable with it. So I decided it would be cool to install the Groups Mod.

Now, I'm getting this error (like some did before me, in this topic) when trying to post new topics:

"An error was encountered
File: /home/httpd/vhosts/austinv.net/httpdocs/include/functions.php
Line: 29

PunBB reported: Unable to fetch group info
Database reported: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '' at line 1 (Errno: 1064)"

Pretty annoying since a forum isn't of much use if you can't put any topics inside of it . Hope someone's willing to sort this issue out once and for all.

First of all, thank you for trying to help me out. This is what I've tried so far:

- manually adjusting the "group"-value for a specific subforum in the database and

- assigning a specified group to another subforum through PunBB it self

- after having tried this, I've manually rset the database values to 0, like you suggested

(Just to make sure: I've created two different groups by using admin-> groups -> add)

No luck, the same error still occurs. Maybe it has something to do with the whole forum not being publicly accessible? It's meant as a "shadow-site", where moderators of other sites can chat about things happening on their own forums. Therefore, people can't view any of the subforums unless they were invited.

Then again, there were other people experiencing the exact same problem. Can't imagine all of them running private-only forums.

Nope, doesn't work either

This the dreaded instruction (found in functions.php) that supposedly messes things up:

$result = $db->query('SELECT members FROM '.$db->prefix.'groups WHERE id='.$group) or error('Unable to fetch group info', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());

Am I overlooking something?

Ok, installed
I tried to re-create it and couldn't
Someone tell me a couple things:
the poster's status
the group (if any) the forum is in
the group (if any) the user is part of
any other info you think might be important

btw: another bug is that if someone's nick is changed, their group status isn't updated.

Still can't replicate it

Do you get it while posting a new thread, or making a new post?

ooh, another bug: for some reason when I set the group rights, if I check the highest IDed group, the name of it becomes my title

*bump*. Sorry, still can't get this plug-in to work the way it's supposed to. Anyone who's got tips or remarks, please enlighten me. The only option for me is removing the Groups functionality for now, i guess.
