Oh and I just checked this on my two test sites.

If I do not have access to the forum and go to the URL of a new item in a private forum I am not allowed to see it, definitely works in that sense, so not sure why it is viewable in your environment

scrap that, you are 100% correct. I will have to check why it doesn't parse through the perm and auth properly

Do email notifications work correctly?

Never checked it and don't see what that would have to do with this mod.

I am going to do some more development and cleaning because I think I found a few causes and issues.

One thing I have noticed is a fair few Fireboard level bugs. As such I have decided to postpone my site upgrade until they are fixed and Fireboard has proper native support from the devleopment team, That said I will finish this install and mod for everyone though. Once it is fully native I will come on over. But the out and out of it is that doing the development for this has shown the forum isn't mature enough to handle my site yet and instead will stick with a 3rd party system like phpbb

There is a simple fix for you, without code change.

You can go into the Fireboard Configuration >> Plugins >> Recent posts

And then enter the forum/category id's of the forums that are available and not private, therefore excluding any of the private ones. This will get you around the issue for now. Beyond that I will have to do more research and I wont have time until over the weekend


If they know the post id they can still view it however AFAIK but I will double check quickly. Though the above will at least stop them from being shown in recent posts

THANKS!!!

That worked for me!!!

Right, email notify process is separate from your hack. Your hack is just granting access, email notify should work the same in the back-end.

I agree about using a 3rd party forum also, I've been looking at all the forums and would choose FB if it weren't for the lack of more advanced group management/access retriction functions so I must look elsewhere.

I'm still hoping to use Joomla/Fireboard one day when Joomla 1.5 stable / FB 1.5 stable is released though. The product and team behind it looks promising.

Just great! Was hoping this worked out - instead of adding all the flair with showcasing vendor templates and other goofy stuff they should have been adding core features like this ACL. Thank goodness I did not disassemble my SMF in all the pre-excitement.

"Bringing them all together" - the only thing brought together is a bunch of frustrated users.

I've found out, in the last few months. No matter what the requirements, technology is always a few steps behind what I desire to do. The only solution is to do it yourself or settle for something less efficient.

I feel that once joomla hits 1.5 stable and fireboard catches up, it will be a system that is hard to beat for ease of use and configuration.

My requirements are simple:

A good CMS that can be easily integrated with:

PMS, Gallery, Calendar and Forum

I believe that is what most of us want.

I found the issue with the SQL error that appears when trying to edit a restricted forum (at least a temporary solution. In the file: admin.fireboard.php replace approx the line 359 by

editrestrictedUser($option, $_POST["id"]);

It is just catching the id by using $_POST. Now let's go with the next issue. Just in case I am running it on 1.5.

Best regards from Peru.
