if someone with a buset sight with alot of users and alot of events can try this I would appreciate it. it works fine on my site..

Very cool scroungr, nice job. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Will definitely be testing this out once I'm finished hacking away on my upgrade. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I can view the events for a private forum when I am not logged in (although when I click the event it does not show any details) is this by design or is it a bug?

thats what I needed to know.. try and clear your cookies when your not logged in and see if you can see the same.

Yep I can still see them when I have no cookies on the computer at all.

damn ok thanx...

think it has to do with the $users['U_Group'];

okay this is fixed now.. had a logi problem.. now it shows all public dates whether they reccur yearly or monthly or never to anyone.. only show private dates to people within the same group as the user whether they reccur yearly or monthly or never and it also shows dates that are entered whether in calendar or events and also shows birthdays..<br /><br />Someone with alot of events and alot of groups please try this..

would have been nice if I had put the correct one in there good thing I checked...

Ok it checks for login properly now but I can see stuff(topics) for groups that I am not a part of still.

I am betting you are part of those groups somewhere or they of yours.... make sure you are not in users just in admin and make sure you and they share no common groups. if say you have and users1 and a users2 group and a third group lets say users3 and a user from users1 is put into users3 he will see all events for all users in users1 and users3 even if there is a user in user2 and user3. Also MODS and ADMIN will see ALL events because they see ALL groups.. create a user and just put him in users2 group and he will only see events for people in users2.

I can probably put another switch in there so that the admin could choose NOT to see everyone's events?

I am not sure I follow that hehe.<br />The problem I have with this is that I can see topics for groups that I am not a member of. This makes the event pal usecure for events that are private for say a particulkar group that holds group events. although I can click on the event and get a blank enough information is normally in the title to figureout what is happening.

but your the admin or are you using a user account when you can see that?

I am admin but I have a lot of boards that I dont monitor, They are private forums for other gaming guilds that use our forums as a place to hang there hat and I only go there if it is absolutely necessary which is almost never. I am not a member of thsoe groups.

yeah but your an admin hence you see it all. So I will have to add a switch that is basically.. if your an admin or a mod do you WANT to see it all <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

OK - this is great.<br /><br />A couple of things.<br /><br />Indeed when you login as a regular user, you can see events for forums they don't have access to.<br /><br />I didn't totally wrap my head around all that you did, but I don't see a query to the w3t_Boards table in there, so somewhere along the line, you've got to query the read permissions of the w3t_Baords table and see if whatever forum that event belongs to is seen by this group.<br /><br />This is pretty complicated. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> So I'm not sure exactly how to go about it, but if you study how it's done in the the calendar script, that should give a bit of an idea.<br /><br /><br />One other suggestion, and I'm not sure if it's easily possible. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> But it would be great for the different event types to get 'grouped' under the date. So that the same date doesn't have to repeate if there are multiple things listed under a day.<br /><br />Wonderful work on this.<br /><br />As soon as this is set, we'll put out 5.4.5 with this inclluded. I'm finishing up some other IIP improvements. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />thanks again!

thanx Josh I will take a look at the code and see what I can do.. and a regular user can only access events of people in his group bur yeah if that user is in another group he sees those also so yeah maybe I will have to look at using that from the w3t_Boards table first prior to figuring out what the user can actually see... I will work on this more this week

Well actually in my testing, if it helps, I posted an event in a forum only visible to the moderators group - and it was visible when I was logged in as a regular user, but not if I wasn't logged in.
