The multigroup mod for 1.2 has been updated and works well.  If someone migrated it for use with 1.3 it might be helpful.

Hey 'auto'... since you are staying with 1.2.xx, and it doesn't appear you are turning up any help here (are you?), you may wish to consider Fluxbb instead.  Porting over is a no-brainer (yes you could get help to do it if need be) and then you could ask over at the Fluxbb forum if someone could help you with these mod updates you need assistance with.

Just an alternative thought since I haven't seen anyone answer your posts either here or at punres.
Cheers,

Sidenote @Matt: wow, do you know it appears you have the most amount of posts in the least amount of time of anyone on this forum `8^O ..whoa! HA!

If I understand this correctly, here is another example (I am researching how to do this today)....

We use subforum mod. 
1. The Admin creates a Parent forum called "Bee Company" to which all users at levels 'A', 'B' and/or 'C' have read access. 
2. When you go into Bee Company Forum, there is the main/parent Forum, and then there are subforums listed for Bee Company group activities.  Other Users may read and watch, but only Bee Company members may post and interact - these subforums are for them.
3. We wish to have the subforums listed on the index, which requires giving read access to the main forum.
**4. The Admin wishes to create a Private Topic for her eyes only in the Parent Forum where she can make notes on Bee Company individual and group progress taking place in the subforums

Hope this makes sense.  What it would require is the ability to check off a topic as 'Private', similarly as you would as 'Sticky'.

I was thinking that if I got your idea right, kikloo, then posting this may be helpful to sorting out the value of this, and the solution.  This would be a typical tool for forums for schools that almost any teacher would find useful.

Assuming, of course, the mod(s) you need is already built and has the features you need/want, or you are building it ;^)

Get yourself out to the later pages of the SubForum topic, say near http://www.punres.org/viewtopic.php?id=594&p=5.
You want version 1.9.3 (http://www.punres.org/viewtopic.php?pid=20714#p20714
I recommend reading the last 3 pages of the topic - shouldn't take you long and will get you 'on the page'.
And yeah, it has many edits, but its 'the one' you want if you wish to have subforums in your exisiting 1.2.x pun.
Good luck!

Per SubForum mod... no (easier way), you have about 29 edits to perform.  Its a solid mod, though, and the one to use if you are looking for subforums for 1.2.x
Good luck!

Per #3: Yeah, but then you have to do it in any style sheets or style sheet updates.
I think the easiest way is to simply comment out the <pun_board / title> entries in the header.php file - one time, one place, and (per#2) you still get to keep the board title and description entry for however it may be referenced in other ways on the board.

At least, that's how I feel its best done in v1.2.x.  Should be same/similar for 1.3.x.
Just my 2-sense.

I do not know about MyBestBB.  Just to mention, I would think it does not have the latest updates of some mods - you would have to check that for each mod it encompasses.  I would recommend perusing the relevant MyBestBB topic to see what other users there say about their experience with it.
Good Luck!

A little late maybe, but for anyone reading this, possibly this can help get you started...

I am certain you can customize it, or have someone do it for you, in the exact way you want... its just that I cannot spend the time right now... I was only passing by and trying to offer some pointers if I could.

Yes, typically for the logic in this setup is they are somewhat tied together, i.e., if you wished to block access to the profiles, the list would thus be inaccessible; as well, typically if you wished to block access to the list of users, then their profiles would be inaccessible.
So no, the logic is as you are observing it, and you did not make any mistake, and the logic is consistent with the intended simplicity of design.
As well, the simplicity also allows for sculpting a solution that would suit.

As I said  in my previous post, you could enable viewing of profiles, and thus the list, and then simply remove the list page and any links to it... then no one could access the list, but peoples profile links would show, and readers would have acess to that.
  This of course does not address the issue of how a user might customize what others may see... that's another issue that would have to be coded out.  It also does not address the problem (equation) of administrative access to the list.

I think all these things can be worked out. You might try hunting around outside this thread, and at punres.org too, and.....

nm, there are big changes going on here you should know about, I suggest you read the news section.

Wow, this seems sudden walking in here today. 
I didn't realize Rickard's statement actually implicated what you state there Connor.  Do you mean what he posted just a couple days ago (on the 29th), or was there something further back (I searched but ...I didn't find clarity on that)?

I'm kind of on the fringe and haven't been able to invest enough time getting to know you all better (yet), so I can't say as I know so much about you guys relationships and what's really happening in the inner circle,
but I've been hanging around since I first got here because I really dig your collective spirit and focus with pbb  - and I thank you for sharing that.
Considering that, and what I am hearing... if the core are moving on to something else, then for what its worth, I feel like its only right to continue supporting your effort.

I wish you luck, and I'll bcnu there.
Cheers,

Practically speaking, in the long run probably all that will matter is the content of punbb, and if what has been promised is ever betrayed.  However, even if that were to happen it may not matter in the long run either (but only if losing existing community support disappeared before 'new' support could be built during such a transition.)

As some here have suggested, maybe shifting the domain focus like this is only a trivial matter and really doesn't technically matter in the short, or even the long, run; but I cannot help but think community trust may indeed matter more, and shouldn't be taken for granted.  (And just to mention, I personally think a domain shift like this is not trivial. )

Oh Hell, as long as Rickard is at the helm with his tremendous team I still feel encouraged, i.e., there would have to be pretty radical negative changes for me to feel like I would no longer wish to be supporting them or this project (in whatever meager way I might do).

...However, neither do I find these things trivial just because strictly technically speaking they may not be>>...

I cannot help but immediately find it disturbing encountering a cheesy company domain (I mean, notonly do I find it weird and disturbing seeing "informer" in the url [jeez], but then it seems to be some short lived company with an interest in tracking - oh yeah, that's the spirit that compells me), ...what I mean is it felt like suddenly punbb is owned by some unknown software/(people tracking?) outfit or - well who are they?!, ...and so then my confidence with the product base here starts coming into question (quite naturally, i.e., no attitude required on my part).

And that the owner would take a prime domain for a powerfully prime product and then demote it to a subdomain to a questionable company?  (and  tracking and informing?)...  Anyway, shifting the domain in this way just seems to me plain stupid, or more to the point, ameteurish or parochial, or simply another brilliant way to bring me one step closer to being tracked by a tracker... hell I don't know.
Another indication of what may carry punbb to the next stages?

Oh, then I start checking out this thread, and go read a little more of what I didn't initially find out about who he/they are...
...I have to admit, it didn't help, ...as I keep adding things together I find this all a bit more disturbing. 

Sorry if that all sounds a bit harsh, or even childish, but to cap it off... I was not turned by your responses to hcgtv or others "anotoly" in your statements, including the one where you say "Feedback from the community is the guideline for our strategy and has always influenced our decisions". 
   Plainly (blatantly) that is counter (meaning opposite) to what one may observe right here in the community, which only lends further support to any concerns being raised by others here - concerns of can they trust the new owners. 

Obviously, based strictly on what we can observe here, we cannot really know.  Trivial or not, there it is.

Oh well, maybe I misread something? Guess we'll see what happens.  If I didn't misread or misconstrue, then I feel at least this is a good heads up, ...i.e, I won't expect things not to change in some unexpected way.

PS: I HOPE YOU ARE ON THE HIGH  ROAD TO FEELING BETTER AND BEING WELL, RICKARD ;^)
