Re: spamhurdles giving me balls - 18 years ago
If you cannot use spamhurdles becasue of these problems and still need capthcas you can try my captchax mod, for 5.1. It will work on 5.2 (you will get a warining in the admin about a depreciated hook, but it will still work)by fmon - Phorum Support

bug in groupmod.php - 18 years ago
groupmod.php appears to have a coding error. near the bottom "VIEW" => phorum_get_url(PHORUM_CONTROLCENTER_ACTION_URL should be "VIEW" => phorum_get_url(PHORUM_CONTROLCENTER_URL, The action_url type causes the url to not have the forum id. This causes the id=0 to be used which in turn causes the index template to be used. If the forum template is not tby fmon - Phorum Support

GoDaddy works but you only get what you pay for see above posts. Dot5 works better, but their tech support is bad, they don't really know anything until you get to a supervisor. I have had good results with EchoEchoPlus, their tech people seem to be the owners and they know what they are doing. You will get php5 (if you ask) and MySQL5. about $8/mo.

Re: Blog with sticky column content - 18 years ago
While doing a fresh install of this template downloaded from the Phourm website I notice that the lack of a stdblock.tpl will produce a template error if that tpl is needed to display an error or if you are using a mod that requires it. Therefore when using this template you should add a copy of stdblock.tpl from the default template to this template.by fmon - 5.1 Phorum Templates/Themes
Re: Blog with sticky column content - 18 years ago
This template will not work with phorum 5.2, you need to use 5.1.xx Looks like the variable $BlogTemplateLang has not been properly set. What is going on in the code below, from the header.tpl, is that the language file from the template is merged with the main phorum language file. For this to happen the the template directory MUST have a lang directory containing the templates english.phpby fmon - 5.1 Phorum Templates/Themes
Module: Private Message Restrictions - 18 years ago
Module: Private Message Restrictions Version 2.0 for Phorum 5.2, Jan 7, 2008 This module will restrict access to the private message (PM) system according to the criteria set in the settings screen. The PM system can be restricted to members of a group (any group). Usage can also be restricted to users who have posted more than a certain number of messages or that have been registered forby fmon - v5/v6 Modules/Add-Ons
Private Message Restrictions Module - 18 years ago
This module restricts the use of the private message system to users that meet criteria such as membership in a group, number of posts and time since registration. The is version 1.0 and is intended for Phorum 5.1. A version will be released for phorum 5.2. All further development will be for Phorum 5.2by fmon - 5.1 Phorum Modules / Add-Ons
Re: Limiting Private Messaging to Group Members - 18 years ago
I have almost finished a module that restricts the PM system to optionally: group members, or by number of posts or time since registration. The module is for Phorum 5.2 however I thought that it would be good if I modified a version to work with 5.1. A number of functions are different between 5.1 and 5.2. In 5.2 I use the API functions when possible and for most there is an equivalent functionby fmon - 5.1 Phorum Support
Re: Template: Basic Blog - 18 years ago
I plan on doing a complete rewrite soon. The cu rent version was put together by modifying the blog for phorum 5.1 I have Phorum 5.2RC1 running and will probably start from scratch using the lightweight temp as a starting point. Wow, didn't think anyone used this!by fmon - v5/v6 Templates

Re: direct link for group members ? - 18 years ago
Sorry, misunderstood. I think you will need to do something with $PHORUM['DATA']['USERINFO'], (print it with print_r and take a look) you may need some php to see if the group id(s) in the ['groups'] match the group id you want. There is also a ['group_permissions'] that might be usefull.by fmon - 5.1 Phorum Support
Re: direct link for group members ? - 18 years ago
Look in you ADMIN under edit groups, select your group then 'Edit Forum Permissions' add a forum and check what you want. You can do this for the admins and moderators too, just put them in a group, editing the template will not keep out savy users.by fmon - 5.1 Phorum Support
Re: Emerald in blue? - 18 years ago
Step one: Read over css.tpl and settings.tpl, in the emerald templates dir., what you want for colors is probably in settings.tpl Then save copies and change a few things that look right to you. This might also help you. Get firefox and install colorzilla or firebug addon, use them to find out the class, id, name etc of the elements that need changing, then go to the above .tpls and chaby fmon - v5/v6 Templates
Re: Forum upgrade 5.1 to latest not working - 18 years ago
Can this (these) scripts be run using a SSH (Secure SHell) like Putty? or log in with telnet? Many shared hosts allow such access. This gives you a command prompt on the server. I use it to un-compress the .tar.gz files after I ftp them to my host.by fmon - 5.1 Phorum Support

Re: Limiting PM messages - 18 years ago
I have a prototype for a private message restrictions mod working on 5.2.3-rc1. The prototype implements a simple system, if the user is a member of any group they can use the PM system. Also you can only send messages to other users that are members of a group. There is no hook in pm.php that will work for this mod so I am using the common hook. The limitation here is giving the user an erroby fmon - Phorum Support
Re: Limiting PM messages - 18 years ago
Will do, but let me start and see what I come up with, maybe a template hook is all I need. Also <input name="preview" type="submit" value=" Preview " /> <input type="submit" value=" Post message " /> A template change would be good, should have a name for the post message submit so it can be found in $_POSTby fmon - Phorum Support
Re: Limiting PM messages - 18 years ago
QuoteOn the other hand, I can see that it could be useful to have a read only mode for PM (e.g. for only allowing moderators/admins to send users PMs about moderation matters). So, you will put in a hook, new variable or at least a third value for $PHORUM["enable_pm"] so a mod could set it and be done with it. ;)by fmon - Phorum Support
Re: Limiting PM messages - 18 years ago
I think a simple mod can be written to see if a user is a member of a group (or to get started just any group) using the user.php functions in the API., and then setting $PHORUM["enable_pm"] = false if the user is not an approved member; That would disable the PM system. I see some problems, if an approved user PMs a user who is not a member of a group or a PM privileged group, the uby fmon - Phorum Support
Re: Limiting PM messages - 18 years ago
Yes, that probably is a better idea now that I've thought more about it. supress the the PM link so it dosn't show., would still need to stop pm.php too.by fmon - Phorum Support
Limiting PM messages - 18 years ago
I see a post in the main support forum about limiting PMs to group members. I might need something like that and would see if I can write a mod. In looking at pm.php I see that the first hook is phorum_hook("pm_sent", .... This is after the pm is sent, it would good if there was a hook near the beginning of the process. Otherwise I think it will be necessary to hook into common.phpby fmon - Phorum Support

Re: Unapproved messages on the forums - 18 years ago
Quote“Block message forms that are submitted multiple times” and these posts were not duplicates. That refers to the form, not the message on it. Forms have an ID and cannot be reused, i.e., stored locally and used to submit multiple messages. You have to go to the web site and get a new form for each message.by fmon - 5.1 Phorum Support
Automatic pruning of threads - 18 years ago
Has anyone made a mod to automatically prune threads. I would like to have an open 'play' forum but think it would be good to limit its size in various ways. One would be to automatically delete threads older than a certain date, it would also be good to limit the absolute number of messages and maybe the size in bytes the forum uses in the db. The db layer has a function to delete oldby fmon - Phorum Hack/Mod Requests
Re: Column width - 18 years ago
You will need to edit your template, or change to a different one. phorum.org is running phorum 5.2 with the default template. You can change widths by editing settings.tpl or css.tplby fmon - 5.1 Phorum Support
