I'm not sure what you're saying. I'm guessing "current version" is the one just released (i.e. the beta), but then your post doesn't make sense.

Sorry that I couldn?t make myself understood. As someone said I mean the column in the viewforum.php page named "Author" in punbb v. 1.1.5. It looks messy right now in 1.2 since topics and names are "mixed". Very easy for people who wants the old style back to edit it though.

- When you find one thing to complain about you often find more wink Well, it's great to have a user group system, but to what use is that if you can't set more than one group to be moderators? I can set the group rights in the admin control panel "forums" for all groups, but I can't set what forums they should be moderators for (except for the user group named "moderators" fron the beginning) in the "profile -> administration". Do you understand what I mean? I want to be able to check those boxes with other groups than just the ordinary "moderators" group.

I implemented the user group system because one of the most requested features in PunBB 1.1 was the ability to allow only certain users access to certain forums. I did it as lightweight as possible. Adding the ability to give multiple groups moderator rights will greatly complicate things (as I've told you before). Every single permission check will have to be extended to include a set of groups instead of just one group. You have to understand that this is PunBB. I was sceptical towards implementing a user group system in the first place.

I'm curious, why would you want multiple moderator groups anyway?

Ok, your choice. I have one forum for admins, one for admins and co-workers (people that are publishing news for example) and then one forum for admins, co-workers and moderators where you can write messages about members and so on (moderator stuff). That is why I would like to have an extra forum for the "high moderators" (co-workers).

A member can report an admin or a moderator post in the admin/moderator forums and a moderator can report an admin post in the admin forum if he/she knows the ID of the post. Well, you can't do anything if you have reported the message (moderators can zap the report after they have made it though as well as see the topics name in the report), but it should be fixed anyway!

I really don't see the problem. So what if people can report any post they want? What's the harm?

I'll look into it.

No harm done, but I don't see the point why they should be able to do it... If moderators can't view reports on the forums they aren't moderators in there is no harm done though.

- Well, found one more thing that bothers me! Moderators shouldn't be able to view the "Statistics" in the admins control panel. Click "Admin" in the menu and you'll see what statics I mean. There is no meaning for them to be able to view that info, at least not the info about the "Environment".

lol beta doen't mean finished you know, you should wait till its all been tested until you use it tongue

yeah, but there is a version of the forum out now that isn't rdy. I guess you can call that beta and development source. What I meant was a beta version with everything in it. It's not a final version since it hasn't been tested, so it's still a beta version...

How long before you can release a beta version with everything in it? (I know, yet another question about this, but those groups would be great to have on my homepage now!). Is it weeks, a month or several months until the "full beta version"?

to fix the problem with "bad referer" I have added a line in line 47, message_list.php

What I have aded is: if ($is_admmod)

so, now the referer is only checked if it's an admin who's deleting the posts.

The code is:
if ($is_admmod)
    confirm_referer('message_list.php');

My question to you is: will this result in any security issues?

yeah, but you can post your message first (as I do) and then move the topic...

(300 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)

One of the things that is annoying in the current version of punbb is that you are transferred to the forum you move a post to when you move a post (strange sentence). I would like to see that you stay in the forum that the post/topic was originally in.

ok, so you can select which forums should be visible/readable/postable? Or do u select what boards (I recon you mean that this forum has 4 boards: PunBB, Mods and customizations etc.) that should be visible and then what forums the groups should have permission to read or post in?

How is it coming along Rickard? I'm most intersested in the group system you are making: will all groups be able to have their own forums? Like Admins can see all, moderators can't see admins, but the rest, and then another lower status "second moderators" can't see the two higher status forums, but the rest...

Have you found the reason behind the referer problem yet Chacmool?

You could define a constant whenever you include common.php from outside the forums and then check if that constant is defined in common.php and run/don't run check_bans() accordingly.

ok, thought I had to do something like that! Thank you.

I have integrated the forum on my homepage (or the other way around) by including the common.php file in every file of my homepage. Because of this you can be logged in to the whole homepage, but also be banned on the whole homepage! Is there a way to get around this problem so the users are only banned from the forums and not on the other pages?

yeah, I came up with a similar code before, but the realised that I have to mod all my pages to make it safe! For example I don't want mods to be able to delete admin posts, read them, edit them, report them etc. A lot of coding!

hehe, of course I could, but I didn't want to do it if it wasn't safe...

EDIT: it didn't work.

Also, when one of my member deleted all his messages in the inbox he still had 50% usage of space. Does the "sent messages" take up storage like that?


can add that the users that get this message (only think it's two of them) is former moderators (they were moderators when I used your script to convert the forum from phpBB to punBB, but I then made them "members").

Anyone? Shouldn't be too hard to answer... Ask if you don't understand my question!

I'm wondering if it's possible to make a forum for admins only by just changing "admmod_only" from 1 to 2 in the database? Isn?t it right that punbb checks admmod_only >= cur_user["status"] (ot something similar)? Or do I have to change the php code as well?

At the moment you can make remarks on users that are visible on the forums! I would like another field in the user profiles that are only visible for moderators and admins! In this field you can write some notes about the user. When he/she got warned and if he/she is a spammer or something like that. If you have this field it'd be easier for every moderator/admin to have control over the users. You shall not remove the current remark field, just add a new textarea field!
