Logicfury (Lightweight CMS) and PunBB (Page 3 of 3)

Can you not discuss this elsewhere? I asked a question that has now been pushed to the previous page which now no one will see. I'm having a job finding out how punBB uses permissions for topics and this off-topic cross talking isn't helping. You don't like what I'm trying to do fine, I understand that but please have the decency to not take over a topic for your own discussions.

Thanks you.

It's not the idea to love or not your plug system ... but it would be interesting that PunBB doesn't need ANY EXTERNAL soft  : Rickard has accomplished a good job with punBB : I think, and I persist, create a CMS with PunBB is easier (even if longer) than bridging ... That's all. Not off topic : all the actual CMS are very LOUD (click click click click click ohhhhh great ! my category is created ...)

I don't know if this it will be of any use, but I'll try to explain how the permissions are handled in PunBB. You will only have to excuse my poor english .
The default permissions are stored in the "groups" table (you can see the table structure here. For any group that you may have, you can assign rights (read, post, edit, delete, etc). Besides the group rights, you can assign forum rights that will override the group rights. Forum permissions are held in the "forum_perms" table (table structure). There, you can assign the rights that a group will have on a specific forum.
I hope that this will help you and that you will continue the work on punBB integration with your CMS!

Thanks for the help Superfane and Connorhd it's exactly what I need and your discription of how the permissions work Superfane ties together a few things I have found out and I understand how the system works now.

I'll get to work on this as soon as I get home and let you know how it went.

Thanks again
Chris

if you mean hidden forums as in forums that the user doesn't have permissions for?

maybe generate_quickjump_cache in include/cache.php would be a simple example to look at (it generates the quickjump menus)

OK here it is, the fruit of hours of studing PunBB's code:

SELECT t.id AS tid, t.subject, f.id AS fid, f.forum_name, u.username, u.id AS uid, p.id AS pid, p.poster_id, FROM_UNIXTIME(p.posted,'%b %d, %Y at %T') as post_time FROM punbb_topics t, punbb_forums f, punbb_users u, punbb_posts p, punbb_forum_perms fp WHERE (fp.forum_id!=f.id AND fp.group_id=3) AND p.id=t.last_post_id AND u.id=p.poster_id AND t.forum_id=f.id AND t.moved_to IS NULL ORDER BY t.last_post DESC LIMIT 15

Hopefully it's right, I don't think I have missed anything out but only time will tell.

Yes, but does it support the punBB bridging like you talked about in the beta?
I couldn't find anything on that...

Edit: Oh...Wait - I see it.
I'll get around to testing this when I get some personal time...
