Re: Module: Bulk PM - 14 years ago
Terradon, It should be possible to do what you want, if you make a few changes to the plugin. First, you'll want to remove: - the "ALL" code from line 15-22 and line 48-52 - the admin checks on lines 25 and 47 - Put in a line of code right after line 56 where you check if the current user is a member of the group before adding it as an option. You'll see the phorby Sean Phelan - v5/v6 Modules/Add-Ons

Re: Automation-Friendly phorum install? - 15 years ago
Maurice, Thanks for that recipe - what you did already sounds like a gameplan that a controlling app could implement. When I get to the point where that "want" becomes a "need", I'll give it a crack and come back here with questions. SVN "happy incrowd" ... sounds warm & fuzzy :)by Sean Phelan - Phorum Development
Automation-Friendly phorum install? - 15 years ago
Just in the interest of brainstorming the future, has anyone looked into an automation-friendly install for phorum? EX: I've been building phorum into a different system, exclusively to use the user/auth functions (this system doesn't even have a forum!) It works really well, actually. The only catch is that I have to manually run through the phorum install when I deploy the systby Sean Phelan - Phorum Development

Re: Facebook Connect Module - Any interest? - 15 years ago
Phorum 5.3 ... is this coming? I'm guessing there's a thread on the forum somewhere about it, but "5.3" doesn't seem to be a good search term. Spby Sean Phelan - Phorum Hack/Mod Requests
Re: Redirection after Posting (Phorum Integration in Joomla via addphp) - 16 years ago
Jogger, I once had to do a conversion from FireBoard to Phorum, and documented it here: http://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?14,129349,129349 Fireboard was a Joomla forum module, which has long been defunct - I think Kunena is the 2-generations-forward evolution of it, but possibly in name only.

Re: Developer available? - 16 years ago
I went through this same question in the fall, and the only place worth looking is right here - on these forums. I had some success with Jim (aka Ravenswood), who I connected with on these boards - he does good work, but is pretty busy on big project (or had been through Feb.) Can you put together a decent spec on what you're looking for? Then post it with "BOUNTY" in the sby Sean Phelan - Phorum Support
Re: Redirection after Posting (Phorum Integration in Joomla via addphp) - 16 years ago
Jogger, I'm glad to see you're making good progress! One day I might be asking you for some of this same advice in return :) QuoteAnother thing is the search function of Joomla. Of course I really would appreciate a solution where someone could search both: forum and remaining site. May be I will write a search plugin for Joomla - or is there still an existing solution on your siby Sean Phelan - Phorum Integration
Re: Redirection after Posting (Phorum Integration in Joomla via addphp) - 16 years ago
Jogger, At this point you've made it about as far as I did, so my advice will start drying up. QuoteI now got the "start page" with forum links like this: "host.de/joomla/forum/phorum.php?list,1" So the rewriting of the phorum links in phorum_settings.php seems to work, but I am in the wrong directory - I would need something like this: "host.de/joomla/forum/pby Sean Phelan - Phorum Integration

Is there a Template Variable Reference sheet anywhere? - 16 years ago
Fellow Phorum Gurus, I'm doing some template work, and it occurred to me that I haven't found a reference list anywhere of all the variables available within a phorum template. Does that list exist anywhere for easy reference? I'm currently trying to implement some page-specific logic, and a full reference sheet would prevent me needing to ask the specific question.

Re: "Notification: Updated module info for modules" ... What does this mean? - 16 years ago
Quick follow-up - I just found an SVN user-level config option called: use-commit-times = yes which would also prove useful, at least for files that aren't part of a make process.by Sean Phelan - Phorum Support
Re: "Notification: Updated module info for modules" ... What does this mean? - 16 years ago
Thomas, Thanks again. I was looking for generic info first, in case I could answer my own questions, but here is the specifics. I run a testbed-based development model for my phorum sites, using 2 sites: test.mydomain.com www.mydomain.com And 2 databases - one for www, and one for test The code is pushed back and forth using subversion, with the domain-specific files (db config, etby Sean Phelan - Phorum Support
Re: "Notification: Updated module info for modules" ... What does this mean? - 16 years ago
Thomas, Thanks for the info. Specifically, is this checking the file timestamp of info.txt, or the definitions within it? If it's a timestamp, what is it checking against? Something in the DB? Also, I notice that the alert only appears above the login when I first come to the login page. If I come back to it a few minutes later, it doesn't show up.

Re: Redirection after Posting (Phorum Integration in Joomla via addphp) - 16 years ago
QuoteMaurice Some code from that module would be simpler to implement in 5.2. In fact, I did so once and finished a nice new version of the mod, but then a Harddisk Accident Of Which We Do Not Speak occurred... Ouch.... I know what that pain feels like.by Sean Phelan - Phorum Integration
Re: Redirection after Posting (Phorum Integration in Joomla via addphp) - 16 years ago
P, I hit a similar roadblock in the spring, trying to embed phorum in Joomla using Jumi (another php-include component). Like you, the sticky point seemed to be the URL processing.

Re: How about Phorum as ONLY a User Management engine? - 16 years ago
Maurice, Thanks for the insights: In other words, this idea: QuoteMaurice To really block users from accessing any other page, you could write a module that hooks into the page_<phorum_page name> hooks for all pages that you want to deny access to and redirect to your main site URL from those hooks.

How about Phorum as ONLY a User Management engine? - 16 years ago
This may seem a bit backwards, but I spent 2 hours on a requirements call this morning, where, in defining the specs for how users should be able to register, change & reset passwords, and verify by e-mail, I basically spouted verbatim the way phorum does it. Which made me start thinking - despite the fact that this system has nothing resembling a forum requirement, what would it take to tby Sean Phelan - Phorum Integration
Re: Integrated Windows Authentication - 16 years ago
If you could find a set of php code to authenticate AD logins, the phorum integration would be pretty easy. I found this: (Uses COM objects, so needs to run on a windows server) Alternatively, I'm sure AD supports some sort of remote XML communication, which someone may have built a client piece against.

Re: Central Authentication Service - 16 years ago
Ditto Thomas' comments on this. Phorum does support surrendering control of the user authentication pretty easily, and the External auth module is pretty effective, even it it's still a bit immature.

Re: Module: Store Files on Disk - 17 years ago
QuoteMaurice Makaay Well, you need file moving and directory deleting permissions, so when you are root, it is likely to work.

Topic Poll Module - Any reports or detailed stats? - 17 years ago
I've been using the "Topic Poll" Module pretty happily over the last year when needed - this time around, I'm curious to see more than the totals, but also who is voting how.

Re: a forum for every registered user... - 17 years ago
I haven't done this, but I'm sure the answer is yes. You'd probably need to write a module that catches the event when a new user registers, creates the forum, and maybe makes that user the moderator of the new forum. It sounds hard, but would probably be 10 lines of code! Spby Sean Phelan - Phorum Support
