Ubb.threads V7.3 integration

Zarzal · February 17th, 2008, 05:17 AM

UBB.threads V7.3 is now in public beta test. I read a first report about the PhotoPost integration have a little rights problems. It seems that only admins now able to post new pictures in PP.

Do you plan to support UBB.threads 7.3 with PP und will be a fix (if possible) still available für PP V5.62?

I will link this thread in the UBB board. There are user who beta test the system and maybe they can give more informations.

Regards

Well we have an active working 7.0 integration that works fine I guess it all depends what changes are made in 7.3 whether it would be supported. We need to be able to get access to that code to be able to write an integration. If anyone wants to be a guinea pig they can email me at chuck at photopost dot com.

HI,
I can confirm that, it am like that. But if you go in the Admin on Edit Usergroups and there on the link (Refresh usergroups from your forum software?) is all Usergroups clicks there and you can them the user rights again give. With me with ubbt 7.3b4 and pp 6.0 is it like that...

so you say it works fine.

Yes, no Problems.

Also Review functions after the adaptation in the Admin CP. The problem comes because ubbt 7.3 have now an Usergroup more. By new installation the problem does not originate only at all.

However, I have a problem if I the style in the forum on a design at all put these are styles = 0 for default. However, a user can see with styles = 0 in PP or PR no colours, only if styles = 1 are shown etc. the styles in PP and PR.

I hope you understand me.

No problems I will be going over the integration in the coming weeks to see if there is anything to look at

At the UBB.threads forum the user Basil worked out whats going on. He give a solution with phpmyadmin and a little fix to the threads7.php integration file. The id for guests was changed and need to be corrected in the script.

Well 90% of what he posted was rubbish as they say in england as he seems to be going off on some tangent about order in a table.

There is only one change needed and that is step 5. Infopop guys have changed guest groupid from 4 to 5. All you need to do is update the groupid's or refresh groups in Photopost and update the names and set permissions as our groups are always displayed groupid ASC so you can match things as needed.

The issue is since they changed the groupid for guest and user etc and seem to have added a super mod group they threw off the integration. Now of course we need to figure out how we are going to handle this mid stream. We would most likely drop support for 7.0-7.2 and support 7.3 forward.

Hey Chuck how are you ? I was looking to see if you did the 7.3 upgrade and corrected the integration script yet. I got your offer to upgrade and wanted to see how you were doing on this one.

Thanks.. take care..

Like noted the only change was they changed their guest usergroup thats it.

If your using 7.3 and not 7.1 7.2 etc just look at this line in the threads7.php file and change the 4 to a 5 and thats all you need to do. You'll need to realign your group names since we cache those to what they are in the new threads.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Mors · May 9th, 2008, 11:35 PM

you mean $usergroups = 5..

Can't find a $vbgroups

Zarzal · May 10th, 2008, 02:08 AM

its around line 296:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Chuck S · May 10th, 2008, 09:53 AM

Yep thats there big change there is to change around group numbers. What a weird thing to do in a DOT RELEASE. Then again I think Groupee has been trying to hold on to not going under for years.

I do the chage from 4 to 5 and resync my grouplist with UBB.threads but encounter a problem.

I have members who are only in the UBB group 'users'. This looks like this:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

If this user goes to Photopost (V5.62) he can see what he should but he cant upload a file. Look what happen to this user:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

He cant see any category and when he try to send the file he get error from the script based on the missing category.

The I go to UBB.threads user control panel again and put another group to this user and submit it. Then back to PP and now he is able to see the categorys:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

My pp_usergroups looks like this after syncing with threads:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

You see the empty lines? this comes from deleted groups in UBB.treads.

Any Idea, whats going on and how to fix this? I dont like to find out any users who only belongs to the user group and give them access to another group only to be able to upload pictures again.

Zarzal · May 28th, 2008, 11:22 AM

I found whats going on and was able to fix it. After syncing the groups and changing the 4 to 5 I also have to check the permissions of the existing gallerys. This dont sync automaticly and have to review by administrator. There was missing the checkmark for 'users' in the upload permissions of all gallerys so they cant see any. Thats all

Now it work again.
