(PG) forums list

[Ton70]

Hello Robin,

Me again. I have some trouble’s with the widget. I want to see all private forums when logged in/and logged out. In the dashbord I clicked forum visibility on. I tried all settings in de widget and this happens.

0 => all forums show except the private forums
any => all forums show except the private forums
forum ID’s multiple => to guest’s no forums are shown
to user with no group assigned no forums are shown
to user with group assigned only the group(s) forum is shown.

Normally this is beautiful, but i really want to interrest people for my member clubs. I want to suggest to keep this one in as well. When you only want to let see the private forums you are a member off

I have UM installed but on the forumpage I put it out. I hope it’s not interfering with your plugin.

Greetings Ton

I also am going to translate this one for you.

ok, I’ll code an option

[Robin W]

ok, I’ve released version 3.3.8 which has an extra option in the forums widget if forum visibility is set. You will need to go back into the widget once you have upgraded to set.

I did this because I wouldn’t want to assume that if forum visibility was set, that every (PG) forums list should show all forums – for instance a site may want to show all possible forums in the main list and have a forums list headed say ‘Forums you have access to’

It means it is also backward compatible, so doesn’t change anything anyone already has.

Let me know that it is working for you

Hello Robin,

Almost there. I have selected a several Forums in the widget. After checking the new option I see all the forums. Not just the selected forums but all tehe forums in the forumslist.

Hello Robin,

Looks great when logged in but something strange happens when not logged in. The widget says “no forums” and the whole page get’s messed up. This is when I put visibility off in the widget. Seems there’s some sort of conflict. When I put it on everything is okay. I tried an other sidebar and the problem also occurs there.

That is what I would expect

As you have forums set to private, then the widget would show ‘no forums’ to a non logged in user – what would you like to see here?

I can’t see why my widget should be messing up the page – it has little formatting. Can you post a link to an example please.

[Ton70]

No forums is not the problem. This is okay for me. When I put the checkbox of I miss a lot of info on my homepage and the page is a mess.

Her is the link of the homepage: http://www.bijstandvoorbijstand.nl/ When you use your login you can see how it has to be.

Please forgive me, I am trying to help you, but I work across many plugins and websites and do not keep old information, so I no longer have login.

When I follow your link, all looks fine logged out.

[Robin W]

don’t worry, let me look at code again, I just had a thought !

[Robin W]

no I’ve taken another look and can’t see why ‘no forums’ would upset the display, nor can I see from a non logged in user what is wrong – as I don’t know what it looks like normally.

Can you post links to 2 screenshots to show me what is different?

[Ton70]

Hello Robin,

I can understand that you are very busy. I’m afraid that more people get this problem with there site.

I made 2 prints. Both are with visibility off. The 2 forums are not private. One is not logged in (with problem) The other one is logged in as a normal user.

Before the visibilty setup of the widget everything was working correctly.

[Ton70]

Hello Robin,

I sent you a printscreen with visibility on, not logged in.
