[geeklog-users] Access Rights Modify

Dirk, : As an addition: For stories, the permissions are "inherited" from the : topic the story is posted under. This applies ONLY to anonymous or non story admins. My problem is that MOST of the time, I have various story admins submitting stuff (using HTML area), and they have no clue about the

[geeklog-users] Re: Access Rights Modify

Thanks Dirk! That's all I needed! Some of us are not that experienced with PHP, so this helps a lot! Worked like a charm! --- As I said, the default permissions are hard-coded in admin/story.php: function storyeditor() $A['perm_owner'] = 3; $

[geeklog-users] Security - Remove from Group

Hello, I'm using GL 1.3.8 sr2 I've noticed strange security context behavior when using groups: 1) Create group "GROUP1" 2) Assign standard core group rights like Event Admin, Story Admin to group 3) Create new user "USER1" (has only All Users, Logged In Users assigned) 4) Add USER1 to GROUP1 5)

[geeklog-users] Sync Mailing List / Usenet with Forums

I think this would be a tremendously helpful plugin, as in most online communities it's very hard to get everyone using the same client app. Some like mail client and some like web client. (As an example: I'm overseas on a dialup right now, and haven't been to a forum in 10 days, but emailing like

[geeklog-users] System Messages - Global Modify?

A lot of my users (admittedly non-profit, not savvy) DON'T see the various system messages: - Don't see errors when submitting stories and call me - Don't see email member "message successfuly sent" and send POP email duplicates "just to be sure" etc So may I ask how one would go about:

[geeklog-users] RE: Geeklog Documentation Effort

No I sure hope not. Here is my personal dilemma. Nothing I've seen and tried allows for easy posting of images along with the documentation, nor does it build usable indices of what's being posted. The wiki paradigm works well for geeks, but not for newbies and inexperienced users, who are more us

[geeklog-users] Missing path_html 1.3.9rc1

Hello, working with CVS again, and I noticed that after updates, my stories with images already in them were giving me an image upload directory error. So I read the docs, and noticed that there is no setting of path_html anywhere by default. So I've added it to config.php under the No Need To Edi

[geeklog-users] RSS Architecture

Quick question about the new RSS architecture in Geeklog 1.3.9rc1 (Let me know if I should be posting this stuff elsewhere) You currently have the STORY related RSS feed info hard coded into config.php Lines 130-131 // path to your site's RSS/RDF feed $_CONF['rdf_file']= $_CONF['path_html

[geeklog-users] User Topic Subscription - MDigest

I needed to change many users' Topic Email Subscriptions and struggled to find where this is in the tables. Then, the RESET button in /admin/mdigest/search.php gave me the clue! Line 166 DB_query ("UPDATE {$_TABLES['userindex']} SET etids = '-' WHERE uid = '{$uid}'"); Ok great, so I go to the t

RE: [geeklog-users] Changing story defaults. . .

[geeklog-users] 1.3.9rc1 Event - Repeating

There appears to be an incorporated repeating event option in the new 1.3.9rc1 code for event.php But whatever choices I try, nothing actually repeats. Is this a bug, or did I miss something? I think there was a hack for this posted that actually worked. Any info appreciated.

[geeklog-users] RSS to share Stories Content

I was wondering if it would be possilbe to use GL RSS feeds to share actual content across multiple geeklog sites. I realize you can use syndication plugin (1.3.9rc1) to share multiple rss feeds. This is very nice and I appreciate it. But what if two or more "sister" GL sites want to share al
