Nooooo Dan please say it isnt so!! LOL

Well good work for the 1.0x and look forward to a working version with Fireboard 1.04 and Joomla 1.5

I found a typo in admin.fireboard.html.php

you should run a global search and replace of algin with align.

Doing my best to work through Fireboard to make it work with 1.5

Right now I am working with the admin side of things. Once I get things ironed out, I will incorporate the private code and recheck.

So far I've found that the $id var is not global so I have to use POST to get the value. Option is there so I know I am missing something in regards to declaration.

Also, lists don't work unless I create a hidden input tag called limitstart. Have to work through this one too.

I may come up with a different way to add people. Maybe a js array instead of a live query.

I am 99.99% sure that I forgot to actually hook the "edit" button up to the correct function and instead simply just wrote the script for the hyperlink. It shouldn't be a big change to fix, I jsut need to do some of my daily work before I do.

It's all about the learning curve of methodology from e107 to joomla you see


any final updates for the for FB 1.0.4 and Joomla 1.0.13 Stable?

we'll wait. thanks.

Hello Dannymh,

really good job man! Please, tell me, I read all the posts but still there is one point which is not clear for me.

If I apply your hack, I have to limit the access for the whole forum to at least registered users? So no guest will see the forum? Is this correct?

Thanks

How does this patch
www.bestofjoomla.com/component/option,co...w/id,38336/catid,79/
affect the hack (1.0.4)?

There is only one overlapping file, fireboard.php.

Using Winmerge I can only see 2 differences in the files.
SVN Patch@line 139 $msgbody = nl2br($msgbody);
Your hack@line 172 ########Restricted User##############
require_once (JB_ABSSOURCESPATH . 'fb_restrict.php';
########## End Restrict ###############

You can allow public access to your categories/forums. Public will see the categories/forums that have public(guest) access assigned. Any category/forum that has a Registered access assigned, they will not see.

The modification takes it one step further and allows you to take those forums that are for Registered users and further "Restricts" them to a selected list of "Registered" individuals.


Hope this helps.

I understand how it works.

What I'm wondering is that the newly release SVN patch and this hack BOTH modify the fireboard.php file. Will merging the changes together cause any adverse effects?

I got lost in all the code 'talk'. Is there a link to something stable I can download and use on my Web site?

I really need restricted access for my site and am surprised I did not notice before FB does not have native support for this - seems natural for any forum.

now this all just confused me...I do want to be able to hide certain forum from certain users, registered vs admin, and the public viewport mode. But again if one wants to be secret, one can just make another secret, hidden forum onsite.
