Why not release it as a separate module instead of a hack so both modules can be used together? So we could use an unmoderated newbb and a moderated one together - the same as the current faqmodule/xoopsdoc module - would be a nice option

(pre-)Hack is finished, it looks like working fine.

You can take a look at my RC3 Test Site.

Just login as testuser/testuser and post anything. Logout, then look at your thread, will be empty. Login again as testmoderator/testmoderator, look in the threads, and you will se a button: if you press the 'red' one, it will hide the post; if you do the 'green' one, it will unhide it.

Known bugs:

- incongruency in user/thread/forum posts count (it involves too many code lines)
- if thread has not at least 1 post unhided, it should not appear on forum threads list (this is a mess, except by adding further field and logic for threads table)
- if post is sent from a moderator, it should be implicitally approved (easy one)
- post should be see from owner, too (not sure)
- forum module admin should have same rights as moderator (just a keyword)

I almost finished the hack: I just need to work on viewpost.php for filtering posts according to user permission, and add a checkbox "moderated" on forum administration.
It will be a beta because I think I'll get some posts-related problem like user-posts count and showing empty thread when all posts are hided (a better version should add a 'hide' flag to thread headers)
I'll release it soon.

I think you have a very nice idea...of course we accept any contribution by users any time..

well, i am also facing a problem..it is showingin the "who's online" "0 guests and 1 members online" all the time i got my few friends on the net to visit my site and still after frequent refreshing the count remains the same :(

pls let me know what is the problem

I'd like to know if anyone else has noticed this problem on their setup, or is it just me. And if it is a problem, if there is a fix in the making?

I am using XOOPS 3.0.3 at http://www.calogic.de . It is not a very heavily used site.

Upon entering the site, the who's online block shows 1 guest.

After logon, the who's online block shows 1 guest and 1 Member online, and my User Name is displayed.

After logoff, the block still shows 1 Guest and 1 Member that is online, and my User Name is still displayed. Even in the forum my posts show I am online.

My Admin rights however, are not available after logoff, which I didn't expect would be.

It really just seems to be the Who's Online module itself.

If I wait 5 minutes or so, then refresh, or navigate in the site after logoff, my online status then shows 1 guest and 0 members.

This leads me to think it probably has something to do with a cache, either proxy or local, and XOOPS cookie(s).

And because I am no fan of cookies in anyway, either as a user or the programmer that I am, I would suggest using a differnt method of determinig if an online visitor is a Guest, or a logged on Member. Is it correct to assume that, at the second of logoff, a Member becomes a Guest?

I mean, there is surely a field in the user table, or elshwhere in some other table, that records if a visitor is logged on or not. And it is this field that should be used to count the number of Guests / logged on Members, not a cookie (if this is the case).

Yes, I know there is the remote possibility that some other person is online at the same time, but highly unlikely. I have been using XOOPS for a week or so now, and I noticed this descrepancy from the get go, and have been observing it closely.

Thanks for any comments.

Just checked, the XOOPS site seems to have this (bug?) too. Plus I just upgraded to 3.0.4, and same thing.

Sorry, there is a bug in this hack:
you need to add this before line 123 to make it work properly:

$email = $xoopsUser->email("E");

Otherwise, $email value previously taken from text box will be empty ad an error will occour while you try saving user profile.

To let XOOPS forum moderators doing their job before the publish of what they should moderate, I'm thinking about an hack that should be simple.
The idea is following:
- add a db field in table PREFIX__bb_posts_text called post_approved.
- ad a db field in table PREFIX_bb_forums called forum_moderated
- when a user post a message, default value of post_approved will be = !forum_moderated
- for normal user, when forum engine will display messages, it will display only those ones in which post_approved = 1
- for moderators, forum engine will display all messages with an additional approve button (which will show the state of post_approved value, too). Clicking on it will switch post_approved field value.

I'm going do it on myself but I'm interested on knowing devs & community opinion about integrating this in official release.

Other than in France, in Italy too there is a problem of 'responsability' of site contents, including forums, and this is a important feature, IMHO.

Hi all,
the tag "valign" didn't worked.
In the between i Have tried to use layouts instead of tables, and althought the content was aligned in the top, it didn't respect the columns.
So i had an idea. wouldn't it be better to consider the "cell" between the columns of the portal, as a virtual screen, where are the contents could be indexed ( for instance in the case of using the DIV tags)...??
I will try the other suggestions to see if it solves the problem.

REgards,
