I'm starting this topic for the new eForum component.
So, let's gather some questions over here.
What should i change, so that the "Notify me on replies" option to be by default active, for anyone starting a new topic or replying.
Thanks
-
I have set this by default to NO as sending too many e-mails is something any site/server administrator would like to avoid. So only if the user selects to get new replies notifications he gets them. There is also an other issue here. Not all users are allowed to receive notifications as they are only allowed if you have given them this permission. So, the general enable of this option is not correct without first checking the user's permissions.
eForum's user permissions are accessible via $eforum->fuser object.
To enable receiving notifications for replies by default for users that are allowed to get notifications do the following:
Open file components/com_eforum/eforum.php
For new topics:
Go to line 771.
Change this:
$board->notify = 0;
to this:
$board->notify = ($eforum->fuser->p_notif_setreplies == 1) ? 1 : 0;
For replies
It is not good to do that as the user might have selected not to receive replies and by doing that you force him to receive notification while he does nt want to... But as you asked for that here is the answer:
Go to line 843.
Remove this:
$database->setQuery("SELECT COUNT(nid) FROM #__eforum_notify WHERE uid=".$my->id." AND pid=".$board->id);
$board->notify = (intval($database->loadResult()) > 0) ? 1 : 0;
Add this:
$board->notify = ($eforum->fuser->p_notif_setreplies == 1) ? 1 : 0;
For quote posts

Thanks Gianni. My thought is that someone who starts a topic or answers to another, surely would like to be notified for any reply.
...and on the test forum we worked, i always forgot to tick that box 8)
-
A member's email is visible through the member's profile :o
How can this be hidden from all?
this is a must
-
Elxis Administration -> components -> softdisk -> section "User profile"
-
Thankssss ;)
it was global!
-
Here i am with another question :) In the Forum's statistics it says (Greek): Ημέρες λειτουργίας φόρουμ
That's surely is not how many days is the Forum up and running. Maybe it's the site-age. see attachment
Can this display only the forum's age only, or should i change the expression?
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
When I was developing eForum I was wondering how to calculate this number. Based on the forum age or on the site age?
I decided to use a formula that in 99,9% of the times is equal to the site age. The number of days you see there is actually the number of days passed since the registration date of the eldest site user (normally equal to the elxis installation date).
I did it that way because the forum age is a question. Which is the forum age?
The date the forum installed someone would say. OK, and where you can find this date? If you take it from the files last modification date this is wrong as the files might be modified by the administrator. If you get it from the date of the latest post this is also wrong as posts can be deleted (so the date will change). A solution would be to save this date during installation at database (softdisk for example). But what if someone move the forum from one site to an other without copying this information?
There is also an other issue. If I used the forum installation date then what will happen with all the pre-existing users? For example pame.gr has about 2200 users. After install eForum would inform you that 2200 users get registered in one day! This number is used to calculate other statistics for users that pre-existed before eForum installation. So, I believe the most stable option is to use the eldest user registration date as I did.
-
So, i will only change the expression. Thanks. I think im under an eforum crash test. ;D
In the member's (lets say) badge... the signature is also showing.
How can that be removed, and instead of that... how can i show one of the member's extra fields particularly the city/location data.
thnx!!!
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
The signature hook (hook type: authorbox) is a sample hook on how to create hooks for eForum. Dont use it as you dont need it. Signature is visible bellow each post.
To remove it either disable completely authorbox hooks in eForum configuration or delete* the signature.php hook file.
http://wiki.elxis.org/wiki/Eforum_Hooks (http://wiki.elxis.org/wiki/Eforum_Hooks)
* If you dont want to delete the hook file you can give it an extension different than php. Example: signature.php.txt This will stop the hook running.
To display other info there (such as location) you have to create an authorbox hook providing the functionality you need.
-
Righttttttttt! :D That's a hook
Thanks Gianni
-
I saw that you have created custom user fields for location and web site. Why? Elxis has already these user fields.
-
I did that loooong time ago. When i started the site and i left it, as it is... ::) :-\
edit: did u see the problem with the HELP function on my forum?
-
Yes, check your error.log file to find out what causes this error.
Most probably you have erroneous modified the help daemon file (components/com_eforum/daemons/help.daemon.php)
-

Guess what! It was totaly missing from that location. I uploaded it manually and now its ok. I must have deleted it before... cause i remember i saw the Help page working some days ago 8)
eForum component ΤΑ ΣΠΑΕΙ!
Thanks!

Gianni, why don't those 2 (elxis) fields - location and web site - show in the registration form, as my extra fields do? does this change?
-
See at softdisk

fixed! thanks :)

How we could assign a user into more than one group ?
I have some committees, and some user belong into more than one.
-
How we could assign a user into more than one group ?
I have some committees, and some user belong into more than one.
First idea: You can assign the user, to a third/new separate group, that will adopt X permissions from one group, and Ψ permissions from the other group.
-
A user can not belong to more than one groups.
I developed a special hook for Sirigos that allows you to set board access per user and the problem was solved.
-
Yes, I had the same idea Spyro, but for Groups I have to do with committees (greek => επιτροπές), and for that reason I can mix them up.
Datahell was my saver ! he give the idea of a hook !!
-
Hi Datahell,
Great release! Congrats :-)
I was created a Board with "Reply only" permission and now I can't creat new topic on this board? Notice that I was access with my admin permission
How to solve this issue?
Thanks :-)
-

You must assign a Moderator on that "Reply only - Board". He will be able to post topics on that board. The rest of the users can only Reply.
-
Oh, I know...
So an administrator or super-admin could not access this feature? could not creates new topic if not assign as Mod???
I don't like this idea anymore :'(
And also I have two questions need help:
1 - How to change forum language (where's forum language location?)
2 - How to manage announcement feature? I can't edit or delete default annoucement at "Public announcement" section?
-
elpvn ,
tell us your thought to make a board with read-only access.
And also I have two questions need help:
1 - How to change forum language (where's forum language location?)
2 - How to manage announcement feature? I can't edit or delete default annoucement at "Public announcement" section?
1 - eForum is a component of Elxis CMS so the language changed when you have published the language module and you have boards in each language.
Url in English : http://www.your_site.com/en/eforum/
Url in Greek : http://www.your_site.com/el/eforum/
etc. . .
2. - On the url : http://www.your_site.com/eforum/cp/ there is the eForum control panel.
If you login in as administrator you can manage the announcements of eForum.
-
Also here is the eForum Help (http://wiki.elxis.org/wiki/Category:Eforum), in Elxis Wiki.
Just read, everything is explained.
-
Elxis super administrators are not for eForum administrators! eForum has special user groups. Someone is a forum administrator only if you have assigned that user to a eForum administrators group. So a simple registered user can be an eForum administrator or an Elxis super administrator can be just a regular eForum member.
Language files are located here:
administrator/components/com_eforum/language/
Announcements can be set/deleted from within eForum control panel in frontend area. Note that only eForum administrators can access that page. If you dont want announcements at all you can disable them in eForum configuration (from backend).
On reply-only boards only that specific board moderators and forum administrators can create new topics.
-
Solved! Thanks all :-)
-
Read more carefully what we've told you above.
reply only to whom ??? set that.
-
I have not yet figure out how to make a user forum administrator or moderator.. Can anyone help?

In eForum? You cannot create a poll in eForum.

I already did that and got the following message:

From where are you trying to change his User Group?
Edit Profile (Elxis Wiki)
By clicking on this option, every member has the ability to change/update his profile information as described above in Profile Information section. Usernames cannot be edited or changed. Administrators & Moderators are able to edit/change other member's profile information.
http://wiki.elxis.org/wiki/Eforum_Members
See also the attachment. From that section u must change whatever you want. Not from the Elxis Backend.

Ok, I ask because almost all the forum's support polls.
Because my programer is full ( we develop 2 more componenets for Elxis), will anyone help to create a hook for polls?
Or way to embed the Elxis polls to eForum.
Thank you all.
-
How can i update eforum 1.0 to 1.1 ? By replacing the existing files of the 1.1 with the new ?
-
Edit!
I forgotten that I have published an update patch! :o
Download it from the url bellow and follow the instructions.

thanks dhel

Offer a new feature for eForum: Automatic resize images [if too large than forum thread size]
I thinks this feature will help us so much ;D
P/S: By the way, I wonder to see a multi-category selection for a article on Elxis page, seem it's useful so :-)
Thanks
-
eForum displays a thumbnail for the uploaded images but can not do the same for the remotely insert images as this is not allowed due to url_url_fopen = off restriction on most web servers.
To solve easily this issue add a rule in your forum telling that images width should not exceed 500 or 600 pixel in width.
-
When I activate the eForum Login module, signing in is not a problem, but I cannot sign out.
Why is that?
-
Can you logout from the component login/logout?
SEO PRO URL: http://www.yoursite.com/logout.html (http://www.yoursite.com/logout.html)
Go there and logout. Is this successful? Also which is your Elxis version?
-
Can you logout from the component login/logout?
No
Also which is your Elxis version?
nope!
Also which is your Elxis version?
2009.2 electra
My webpage: www.naspor.gr
Datahell I'll activate the module eForum login until tomorrow in the afternoon. You can try it by yourself (you have to register first ;D)
I'm suspecting a java conflict, but I am not sure.
I just can see a message javascript: void(null);
-
If you can not logout from the component login/logout page then t is not a javascript issue but something that has to do with the sessions in your site/server.
-
When I use use the component login/logout I have no problem.
When I use simoultaneously the component login/logout + the module eForum login, then I cannot logout.
Any idea?
-
Enable the mod_eforum_login only on the page that the eforum component listens to ... yoursitedomain.gr/eforum and at the same time disable for that page the mod_login.
Οn all other pages enable the mod_login.
In other words mod_eforum_login will run only on the eforum component.
-
webgift I did it your way and it worked. ;D
Thanks a lot
The idea of the forum and its creation is superb. Improvements are needed and i will come back later with some suggestions.
Thank you all ;D
-
And the women need a lot of improvements but how can we tell our suggestions ??? ;D ;D ;D
Nothing Naspor!
-
About women: It's a long long story. There are a few things you can do for them. Mostly you must have yourself prepared for the worst case scenario, have healthy economics, selfrespect and social (real, not virtual) network. ;)
Though I had decide to make no suggestions, being over 50 now ;D ::), I think I can make some exceptions.
cheers
-
About eForum now: The problem with your solution webgift, is that, when you "call" eForum from modules like "eForum recent or popular posts", it goes to eForum and if you are not connected it gives you an error message, but not the option for login :-[.
You have to move out of forum (for example to the home page), to acces the login form again. :-\
-
It's not problem about "eForum recent or popular posts" or whatever module relative to eforum component.
Something you have done wrong.! Maybe wrong permissions on the sections of your forum.
Logout from the eforum and type the url below.
This url enters you to the eForum Component.
http://www.naspor.gr/eforum/
Then returns the same error.;)
-
solved
Finally it had nothing to do with what we were saying. It was my lack of experience or attention to blame.
I solved the problem, with the parameters page of the module eForum login. There are options of redirections in case of logging out. I activated the option to redirect me at the home page of my site and that was all. ;D
Thanks
-
I still receive this error message when i visit http://www.naspor.gr/eforum
-
You have set the menu item that leads to the eForum component accessible only to registered users. Set it to public frontend.
-
Here we come!!!
The forum works as part of the site and it is not independent.
If I will put it in front-end, it will be accessible to everyone. That was what I intended to do. but,
There are some information concerning specific groups of our marine club, for example: vacant mooring places (our members pay the whole year around to obtain a mooring place. Other members are waiting in a list for a vacant place, that never comes due to well known in "greek reality interconnections". We want to protect those members of ours. So, when another member of our club leaves for a period of time - let's say a month- the free mooring position is announced for the unlucky ones to use it.
If it is accessible to everyone, then some clever boys will profit and ....
Thats one of the problems I have faced making the groops in the forum, because everything is based on the number of posts
If I'm wrong please inlight me.
Thank you.
-
The information that you like to be private the only thing that you can do is to create a board
http://wiki.elxis.org/wiki/Eforum_Boards
Giving to it a particular access : http://wiki.elxis.org/wiki/Image:Eforum_board_new.jpg
Then on this board create as topics as you like and select particular group members that you like to be visible.
-----
All the other boards set them to public front ...
You have set the menu item that leads to the eForum component accessible only to registered users. Set it to public frontend.

I did that, and I created a new group in eforum (ΜΕΛΗ ΝΑΣΠΟΡ, using the same name as in Διαχείριση Χρηστών), and I want members who join the site and are already categorized as "club members" from the main login (Διαχείριση Χρηστών) to enter automatically to the respective group in eforum, in order to have access to the specific board which I created.
How can we do that?
-
Well, I think that you have forgoten me :(
Is anybody living nearby Vrilissia? I need some help to solve that problem.
Compensation will be offered.
Thanks :)
-
You need a script running via cron jobs that will change user groups if you dont want to do this manually.
-
Datahell can you help me with that script? or better saying: do you want to help me with that script, please? :)
-
I can not built custom solutions for each one.
I told you a method. It is up to you how to implement it.

I have a problem with the attached photos with a post in eforum. They don't appear to non-registerd visitors. I want them to appear for everyone.
How I can do that?
Thanks for your help.
-
Check eForum configuration. If I remember correctly, I have put an option there if you wish attachments to be shown to non-registered users.
-
I could not find such an option. ???
---------------
By the way I saw "Μέθοδος εφαγωγής PDF", just to have it in mind with the next update ;)
-
I could not find such an option. ???
Components > Elxis Forum > Members groups
select the New Member group, or whatever is your 1st common member group, named. And on the Permissions tab, u will see these options:
Attachments
View attachments
Upload attachments
-
All groups have these options enabled.
The problem persists.
Another idea?
The link is: http://www.naspor.gr/eforum/next-trip/82.html?msg=85
-
OK, I searched for it and I have you the answer.
By default eForum does not allow visitors to see attachments. The setting we talked about previously is only for eForum group members, meaning registered users. To enable attachments view for visitors do this:
open: administrator/components/com_eforum/includes/eforum.class.php
Find function emptyuser on line 174.
Change this (line 207):
$fuser->p_attachment_view = 0;
to this:
$fuser->p_attachment_view = 1;
Save the file and you are ready.
-
Thanks datahell. Now it works ;D
The problem was solved.
Thanks again
-
I have two questions if anyone could help.
Is there any way to have eForum only accessable/vewable by Registered users?
I dont want any non registered user to be able to see anything on the forum.
Also
Is there any way to have the forum open up on a page on its own?
Appreciated.
-
Yes you can. Set the menu itme that links to eforum available only to registered users. Also make all eforum boards available only to registered users.
To have eForum shown on its own you must hide the template's columns on that page.
-
Thanks for the reply.
Im new to this... so is there any way you could point me in the general direction as to how to do
both of these?
1- Ive been to - Components/Elexis Forum/Boards - could not find how to make it for users only. Am I in the right area?
2.- I dont even know where to start to remove the side bards for this page.... any guidence would be appreciated.
Again thanks.
-
1. On eForum control panel there is an "access (http://wiki.elxis.org/wiki/Eforum_Boards)" setting for each board.
2. This depends on the template.
The general way to do it is to open the template's index.php file and put a code like this:
if ($option != 'com_eforum') {
//show left column
}
//show middle column
if ($option != 'com_eforum') {
//show right column
}

hi
I would like that when you reply to previous posts appear normal, not as a text without markup BB codes
(http://s2.ipicture.ru/uploads/20120603/5IfAsQRT.png) (http://s2.ipicture.ru/Gallery/Viewfull/10972026.html)
-
Open daemons/html.daemon.php, go to line 941.
You have to initialize nbbc (eForum's BBcode parser) like on daemons/html.daemon.php file lines 510-569 and after go to line 1052 and replace
$message = $eforum->bbcode_to_cleartext($previous_post['message'], "<br />\n");
with this:
$message = $bbcode->Parse($previous_post['message']);
-
thanks :D

have many hiden functions ;D
it's all for eForum2 or for yourself?
