 |
|
Hi! Is there any forum or messageboard which can integrate with the b2 usersystem? If not, it should be something to work on... Any ideas or suggestions? I think it would be a great way to actually give members other features...

I have a couple of phpbb2's set up, and blog on the same multi-user site, but I haven't found any hacks that implements/co-runs with b2.
Should be possible, though. At least if you could get the b2userinfo to be joined with the tables for phpbb2 users and mess around with the cookies.

.... I guess it would be possible to set-up a second b2-blog with the same user database as the original and give every user the ability to post in this new blog. Then make categories and create layout like a forum/message-board.
Has anyone tried this? Or suggestions?

This is how I've done it so far:
Downloaded a new b2 bundle. Renamed every database tables in the b2config except "b2user" to use the exsisting user database in the new blog, and allow users to use both the mainblog and the new "messageblog."
| Code: |
$tableposts = 'b2forumposts';
$tableusers = 'b2users';
$tablesettings = 'b2forumsettings';
$tablecategories = 'b2forumcategories';
$tablecomments = 'b2forumcomments';
|
Since I want to use this as a forum/messageboard I also adjusted this setting along with the paths and urls:
| Code: |
$new_users_can_blog = 1;
|
Then upload the whole thing into a new folder and run b2install.php.
Everything worked fine, and new users were able to register and post messages. Old users were able to use both blogs with their login.
One problem occured though. The newly registered users are also given permission to post in my main b2-blog, since they automaticly become "level 1". Is there any way to change this?
The solution may be to set the post-permission level in my mainblog higher than level 1. Say level 5. How can I do this?

Ahm..
edit b2-include/menutop.txt? But this has nothing to do with actual posting..
Unless you add
| Code: | | 8 b2edit.posts.php Edit/Post |
or something like that...
shouldn't your _original_ b2.config set the permissions on your original blog?
allow_new_users = 0 and new_users_can_post = 0 ??

That has no effect...
On my originial blog i have new_users_can_post = 0 BUT since I want to use the same user database on both blogs, new users from the messageblog will automaticly become level 1 users because of new_users_can_post= 1 and have the ability to post in my original blog anyway... Thats why I want to raise the permission level...

I figured it out... Simply open b2edit.php and edit all the
| Code: |
if ($user_level == 0)
die ("Cheatin' uh ?");
|
to:
| Code: |
if ($user_level < 5)
die ("Cheatin' uh ?");
|
and likewise will all the different "cases."
