Auto group Nuke

Hello, I have this mod called "Auto Group Nuke" and I am trying to install it on Ravennuke76 :::: ## MOD Description: This mod will make it posible to add member ## to a user group, depending on there post count.

I did all of the hacking and have to say that the admin section seems to be OK but the user section "Show_user_groups" I am getting the following error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: append_block_vars() in /home/www/xxxxxx/modules/Forums/viewtopic.php on line 2503 and the edit to this file is:

Code:

// Start add - Show usergroups MOD


   if (display_usergroups($userdata['user_id'],$poster_id,'postrow'))


   {


      $template->append_block_vars('postrow',array(


      'L_USER_GROUP' =>$lang['Usergroups'],


      'L_GO' => $lang['Go']));


   } else


   {


//THIS IS LINE 2503:      $template->append_block_vars('postrow',array(


//END OF LINE 2503:





      'L_NO_USER_GROUP' =>$lang['Usergroups'],


      'L_NO_USERGROUPS'=> $lang['None']));


   } 


// End add - Show usergroups MOD

Can any light be shed on this so I can have an idea where to look.

Thanks

The error message gives a good indication.
viewtopic.php is trying to call up the function append_block_vars() and cannot find it.
So - we have two possibilites here. Either there is another edit that needs to be made or a file is missing from the fileset of this hack.
You could try doing a search for the functions name in the files or post a link to where I can download it and I'll take a look.

Many Thanks, I placed it here to make it easier for you: (Edit out the link)

It seems that "append_block_vars" is only added to the memberlist.php and I did all of the editing to this file.

OK, Thanks I fixed the problem and the other errors. I did a back track and found what I did wrong. It was the tamplate.php:

}
// End add - Show usergroups MOD
}

Thanks for following up in case someone else has a similar problem.

I 'm wondering if I could be reminded if when a group is created using nuke "Administration Menu/Edit Groups/Groups Administration that group would automatically show up in phpBB Group Administration.

I just did some hacking to add autogroupnuke but I had deleted all of the test groups that I had created and I am trying to remember if it was two separation things or one and the same.

Meaning if I would create a group in Group Administration(phpbb) and I would go to Edit Groups in the nuke Administration Menu I would have seen that group that I created in the phpbb.

I'm I off track? Or this is how it should work but I messed up.

Thanks

There are two very distinct groups systems.
One is via the nuke admin area which will set access permissions to blocks/modules.

The other (the one you have been tinkering with) is for setting access permissions within the forum system which is available from the nuke admin->Forums area.

NSN Groups uses the same groups as phpBB, but the standard Nuke group function is fairly useless and uses a different table.

I stand corrected.
Note to self to actually use this NSN Groups system to see what it does.

Thanks guys. Therefore, I can't use the phpbb forum groups to protect nuke modules is that is?

My NSN Groups is setup OK but I just wanted people to do some work, gain points either by posting in the forum or adding sites in the Web Links or may be submiting news before gaining access to some nuke modules.

I do have the paid and subscribtion working but I have my chat fully integraded into nuke and can protect the java from only loading from my nuke module so whether someone would copy the alpha code the room will only load from the nukemodule link.

Now I just wanted to let users gain some points before accessing the room and that was my main reason for the adding the autogroup but its a nice addon and I love and will do put it into use.

Looking at all of this I feel that it can work but might be testing the wrong is this is what I am doing over looking something.

Thanks for the responses.

You were correct - the standard groups in PHP-Nuke are distinct from phpBB groups. NSN Groups makes the truly functional phpBB groups work with the rest of Nuke, unlike the standard groups. For example, you can limit access to modules, blocks, even messages by group. Of course, if you use NSN News, NSN Group Downloads, NSN Mailing List or even some non-NSN scripts like Montego's HTML Newsletter - these all take advantage of NSN Groups, too! You can buy NSN PayPal to give members the ability to purchase group membership.

NSN Groups also provides the ability to allow users to become members of groups simply by requesting it through public groups.

One caveat: although NSN Groups uses phpBB groups, these ARE maintained in separate tables from phpBB groups. NSN Groups synchronizes them. But if you then switch to maintaining groups in phpBB, these will not immediately be available to NSN Groups. But the interface is so much better for maintaining groups in NSN Groups, you won't want to use the phpBB group maintenance functions.

leo51, that's the ONLY thing the standard Nuke groups function does: allows you to become a member of a group via points. But again, it's not linked to forum groups. Neither NSN Groups nor phpBB groups is aware of the Nuke points system.

OK. Thanks I love, love reactions as these it just keep me learning. And yes I am working with Ravennuke76. I also have NSN paypal addons and ws_subscrition/paid as well.

I have gain some insteresting notes from this reaction and will be able to move on.

Again many thanks

Hello, I am back again after taken a breaking working out my issues:

Have a look at the following tables.

Code:

CREATE TABLE `nuke_bbgroups` (


  `group_id` mediumint(8) NOT NULL auto_increment,


  `group_type` tinyint(4) NOT NULL default '1',


  `group_name` varchar(40) NOT NULL default '',


  `group_description` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',


  `group_moderator` mediumint(8) NOT NULL default '0',


  `group_single_user` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '1',


  `group_count` int(4) unsigned default '99999999',


  `group_count_max` int(4) unsigned default '99999999',


  `group_count_enable` smallint(2) unsigned default '0',


  PRIMARY KEY  (`group_id`),


  KEY `group_single_user` (`group_single_user`)


) TYPE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=43 ;

Code:

CREATE TABLE `nuke_bbgroups` (


  `group_id` mediumint(8) NOT NULL auto_increment,


  `group_type` tinyint(4) NOT NULL default '1',


  `group_name` varchar(40) NOT NULL default '',


  `group_description` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',


  `group_moderator` mediumint(8) NOT NULL default '0',


  `group_single_user` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '1',


  PRIMARY KEY  (`group_id`),


  KEY `group_single_user` (`group_single_user`)


) TYPE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=43 ;

The first is with auto-group-nuke fields added but with the new fields added nsngroups will not add groups to phpbbgroups but this I have worked around for by removing the field created a series of groups and then add back the autonukegroup fields because ones the groups are there I can make changes to the name(s) in nsn-nuke-groups and the changes will take place in phpbb also.

But this is not my real issues I want when I set the number of post for a phpbb group and the user gets access to this phpbbgroup this access will also take place in nsngroups.

Any suggestions. I understand they are tow separate things but I just feel it possible or the thread is out there how to do it but I am not bunching on it. Also, if I can fix the first this would also ne nice.

Many Thanks

If you change the mod to use the NSN functions for adding a member to a group, it should add the member to both groups. But that's a much more complex issue that will involve reviewing the NSN groups code carefully - something I don't have time to do right now.

!O, Ok Thanks for the response it looks like this will be a long short. Now that I have the autonukegroup working fine I would really like to use this same group for my modules.

Again Thanks
