Codezwiz >> Forums >> Codezwiz PHP Nuke Help >> CZ Forums Scroll with phpBB groups custom change

Arouund 12 months ago O tried all diff forum scroll blocks, the basic CZ scrollling forums block suited our needs best.
I did make couple changes,
To be able to show posrers details only when logged on (SEO and privacy reasons)

At the moment it doesnt show hidden forums, good. What I would like it to be able to do is show these forumss when logged in and at thee pernission level that the member is alogged in at.
I think it is in these lines somewhere thu I cannot work out how to get it to do so.
(I have included the changes I made mentioned above)

Could u show me the code to be anle to do this please
$result1 = $db->sql_query("SELECT
t.topic_id, t.topic_last_post_id, t.topic_title,
f.forum_name, f.forum_id,
u.username, u.user_id,
p.poster_id, FROM_UNIXTIME(p.post_time,'%b %d, %Y') as post_time
/* changed above line to remove time of post
p.poster_id, FROM_UNIXTIME(p.post_time,'%b %d, %Y at %T') as post_time
*/
FROM ".$prefix."_bbtopics t, ".$prefix."_bbforums f
LEFT JOIN ".$prefix."_bbposts p ON (p.post_id = t.topic_last_post_id)
LEFT JOIN ".$prefix."_users u ON (u.user_id = p.poster_id)
/* below line if removed shows all posts....if 0 changed to 1 shows private posts */
WHERE t.forum_id=f.forum_id AND f.auth_view=0
ORDER BY t.topic_last_post_id DESC
/* Find which forums are visible for this user doesnt work
//
$is_auth_ary = array();
$is_auth_ary = auth(AUTH_VIEW, AUTH_LIST_ALL, $userdata, $forum_data);
*/
/*this edits # of messages in block */
LIMIT 10");
while(list($topic_id, $topic_last_post_id, $topic_title, $forum_name, $forum_id, $username, $user_id, $poster_id, $post_time) = $db->sql_fetchrow($result1)) {
$topic_title=parseEmoticons($topic_title);
$content .= "<img src=\"themes/$cz_theme/forums/images/icon_minipost.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"><a href=\"modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=$topic_last_post_id#$topic_last_post_id\"STYLE=\"text-decoration: none\"> $topic_title </a> Last post by <A HREF=\"forum-userprofile-.html$poster_id\"STYLE=\"text-decoration: none\"> $username </a> in <a href=\"modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=$forum_id\">$forum_name</a> on $post_time ";
////above line edited to remove link to posters details

Bump...Anyone?

No one able to help out?

Surely the concept of showing latest posts in the scrollling forums block in such a manner that it shows alll lastest posts accordingly to a members logged on permissions is a good idea?
I have looked around for the last 9 months or so for a scrolling block that will do this and are very suprised to find there is not one.
From my very limited knowledge of coding, this could be done one of 2 ways
1/ using some sort of code like if (is_user($user))
2/ manually adding the id of the hiden forums and adding the above
Neither of the above can I get to work correctly.

Ok here is a changed block give it a shot and let me know how it goes.

UPDATED: Released to public.

We are on the right track
When
admin is logged on admin can see in the block All lastest posts including hidden members only and Another Sections for administration plus all the others All Good.

When a guest is viewing They cant see them All Good

When a member is logged on and has permission to see both hidden sections they can see them All good

When member is logged on with permission just to see Members section Doesnt show , this same as a not logged on Not good lol
When this member then goes into forums index he can see and access the members section

I was just about to bump this again lol
Where the members /forums/search links in the old one? good idea.

The above was a quick look yest morning, loging in separatly as Admin, moderator, ordinary member and not logged in
I had a quick look at the code in the new version, I cant code but get the impression that it works off groups built in the forum cp???
I do have 2 groups,
the regist members are not in the members group (these also have acess to private members forums)
and the modertors (these haveaccess to admin and member forums) are not in the moderators group, They have been made as mod as regist members intead as they the mod different public sections.
So I am wondering if this is why I got the resaults posted above???
Working long hrs on site at the moment so if I get time will see if this is the case later.
Or if u could reply please?

More then likely thats why they got the view they got. It runs off of the phpbb groups systm which is what is used to control the view of the posts.

Had a better look little while ago
I went thru members list and added them to the apprioate groups then gave those groups permissions to veiw the apropiate sections of the forums
Done
Not quite what I was looking for but does the job just as well
The only thing I didnt count on was each member was sent an email notifing them of the addition to a group lol

I have taken the liberty to make a few custom hacks to customise for our site
Remove link to members details (member privacy SEO stuff)
Changed links to html links and a few other cosmetic bits and pieces.

Been looking thru phpmyadmin in bb_user-group and couple others...
Im getting myself a bit "lost" and confused
If a new user completes registarion how does one make it so that they are automatically also added to a group? say members with a gruop id of 7 This group has access to a members only forum.
Or would it be better to add a new enrty in _users or somehere that would then automatically put them in group id 7 upon registration confirmation.?

Is there a script one can that would put all current members into group 7 id and would this send out emails saying they have been added?
