I see this still hasn't been dealt with. I am going to have to remove this mod from my site. It just makes no sense whatever to have a ridiculous option that nobody understands.

While well intended:

• the users don't know what they are doing
• the folks trying to follow think it's a fat bug.

It just plain doesn't make any sense.

Would you like to remove that option from the plugin? If so, let me know and I will make the changes and send you the modified file.

No, I can not reproduce the error. sorry, I Uninstalled the program and reinstalled it this morning and so far it appears to be working. 

Although the 'Ban Individuals' option had disappeared. ?  I'm happy though, Thanks. 

Glad to hear that you got it working. It is strange though that that option, (individual users ban), is not appearing there. I just re-tested it on the latest version, 4.3.4, and the individual users ban options is displayed fine.

We bought this for 4.3.4 and so far only getting error messages, Is this supported in our version? Thanks. 

Yes, it works with 4.3.4. Can you please tell me what error messages are you getting?

Thanks. So I went looking for the file and found that the upgrade and install folders were prefixed with an under score. Also they only contain an index.php file

I'm not sure what else I can do, because it looks like the site has always been like this

I went looking here /home1/specopsadmin/test-forum/admin-dir/upgrade/lang.php

and found /home1/specopsadmin/test-forum/admin-dir/_upgrade/

Can you remove the prefix underscores and see if it would help? The folders from the latest version, were they prefixed too?

Hi there

I am trying to upgrade from v3.3.0 to 4.3.3. 

I have managed to get through setting up a test instance, passed all the IPS4.php requirements, also successfully ran the utf8conversion tools.

I have just copied all the IP4 files overwriting the current ones, try to navigate to /admin/upgrade and get the following error:

Has anyone encountered this issue before?

This error means the file it is looking for does not exist in the mentioned location. Can you upload the Lang.php file once again and see if it would help?

The problem is most users that are not currently following will not understand 

furthermore most users who set this privacy level will not understand what they are doing. They likely assume people will be able to follow 

it mostly looks like an error or poorly thought out oversite on my community. Many complaints are coming in. Like LOTS!!

instead assuming everyone is going to “bother to read”  can we solve for this and make it user friendly?

I understand that it can look confusing to some users. You can change the profile_privacy_followers_error language phrase to include the text posted by @Tom S. above, which will make it clearer.

Maybe something along the lines of...

Profile restricted to followers only. This member is currently not accepting any new followers.

 

This will make it clearer indeed. I will update the appropriate phrase to include this.

While I appreciate you trying to be cute, you are missing the point. That option has been explained in the plugin description, but I take it that you did not bother to read it. Or maybe you did not understand it. Let me break it down to you. That option is only for users who want only their current followers, not new followers, to view their profile.

It works on 4.3.1, tested all variations of the settings. Easy job for you. 

Many thanks for testing it out sir :)

Is this product still supported and does it work on 4.3.1? Thanks.

Yes, it is still supported. I have not had a chance yet to try it on 4.3.1, but I plan to do so soon though.

Is there a way to set a default so that only Registered members can view profiles?

You will need to edit the profile_privacy field at the core_members table. Change the default value to registered.

Dang. Do you know of any other solution for accomplishing that?

The only solution for that is custom developement.

Is this only available for the first post in a thread, or can thread replies use templates as well?

It is available only for the first post of the thread.

Question - my profile is set to EVERYONE - but when I look in a incognito window, I see an error message.

What permissions need to be set in order for this to work properly?

Can you please post the link to your profile and pm the login info for your forum and I will have a look.

I had done it but it wasnt working earlier.
Re-installed it and it seems to be working now.

Thank you.

I am glad to hear that you got it working.

Hi, I installed the plugin on my board but the option to edit privacy settings is not visible next to edit profile on the profile page.
When I click on edit profile it gives me an option to whom to show my profile but only 3 options : All, Administrators and Members

Any solution?

 

 

Did you enable the permissions for groups at the plugin 's settings?

Is this something you would be looking into? Please let me know, as if you don't think this is something you might add in the future, I will hire a developer to create this functionality for us. Thanks.

Yes, it could be. However, if I were to add such an option, it would be added as a custom job for a fee. It will not be included in the add on itself in the MP. I do not plan to expand it any further.

@Faqole This is an awesome idea. I will buy it later this week. But, off the bat, I have one suggestion. A per-usergroup default profile privacy setting. For instance, the default profile privacy for usergroup A could be "everyone" but the default profile privacy for usergroup B could be "no one (except the user and admins)". This would solve a particular situation we have in our community and that users complain about. Many thanks!

Unless I misunderstood you, I do not think it is an easy thing to do. Anyays, I updated the plugin. Now users can also ban specific users from viewing their profiles.

cute plugins but it is to be perfected, there are details that serve as an example
allow viewing to users that I follow, and not only those who follow me, then if a user sets privacy for those who follow it, there should be a button that allows the user to follow him to give the way to see the profile, hindsight it's useless, please install these improvements as soon as possible because I did not use them under these conditions

I am not sure I understand what you mean. Can you please elaborate a little further and post a screenshot too if possible?

Is this still supported? is it working and tested on 4.2.4?

If so, Am I able to add fields like date/real name/ etc...

Yes, it is still supported and it working on 4.2.4.

The only fields you can add are those for the title and message as mentioned in the description and shown in screenshots.

Does this have the bug where the topic template would also apply to a different unwanted section?

 

What bug are you referring to sir? This will be shown only to forums where the topic templates will be filled.

Nice looking plugin, however does it support Keyword Replacements? for example in your image in the file you have "Hello from new user" in the ACP for the template, with a keyword replacement you could have "Hello from {username}" and on the public side it will actually add in the username of the user automatically. Obviously this makes the template a lot more useful if you have a variety of keywords.

No, there are no keyqords replacements. Because when the user posts, the prefilled template or enters their own text, their name will be displayed automatically.
