No, not necessarily. It just mandates that the primary group of the current user must be admin, global moderator or board moderator for that to work. Except the last part will never work because group 3 isn't a real group and only gets that setting under very specific circumstances.

Better solution, convert it to an allowedTo() call, maybe allowedTo moderate_board or admin_forum. Or a permission if the mod has one.

@phantomm: You probably wonder about the (0) part in $user_info['groups'][0]? That would return the primary group number of the member. I'm pretty sure it works nicely.

@Arantor: You are totally right, but this was just a quick change to fix something that wasn't working, without changing the code to much. The correct way would be to add a permission.

[Arantor]

Except it might not because the primary group holding 3 for board moderator won't be as correct as often as thought.

Switching it out for moderate_board and admin_forum checks would be more reliable as other groups beyond 1, 2 and sometimes 3 could have relevant permissions.

Hello,

can someone help me to port this great mod to 2.0 RC3. thank you
obviously, I already failed to install it manually (table creation issue, I create the table myself, SSI hook not installed properly, hxxp:ba.id [nonactive] fields not found, syntax error with character `, part of the code outside the scope of the function after return $output;.... etc.).

Thanks for your time.

I think after a complete manual reinstallation that version 2.0 RC3 doesn't have the necessary function to install the hook...

Code Select Expand

add_integration_function('integrate_pre_include', '$sourcedir/Subs-BestAnswer.php');
add_integration_function('integrate_actions', 'bestanswer_add_hook');



How to install them with 2.0 RC3?

okay I found how to workaround the hook function installation of Sub-BestAnswer.php by copy all functions into BestAnswer.php...
So if I resume the change:

edit the modifitcation files and remove all  character `, copy all sub functions into BestAnswer.php, install the MOD.
That's it!

you need to UPGRADE ASAP!! !!

Seriously, you are 15 revisions behind.
RC3 has known security issues which have been patched
RC3 has known functional issues which have been patched

Upgrade to 2.0.11 as soon as humanly possible

you need to UPGRADE ASAP!! !!

I hesitate reply because it is totally off topic but okay. SO my short reply is:

THANK YOU! but Who cares!

Do you really know if this forum needs to be secure, if it's worth the updates, if the new features of current SMF is needed, no! So this forum contains more needed functionalities than the current SMF final version as it has been heavily modded, all security patches have been evaluated before applied manually to not break the compatibility of current features but YES! its version is still 2.0 RC3. So that's it and sorry for this totally OFF TOPIC notes.

Um, this mod isn't made to work with smf 2.1.x

COMPATIBLE WITH 1.1.19, 2.0.6

I'm surprised you even got it to install

[FredT]

Installation did work as far I remember (deinstalled it again). But it would be so cool to have

[shadav]

unless you edited the mod or are not actually using smf 2.1.x it shouldn't have installed or uninstalled per the package-info.xml

<install for="2.0-2.0.99">

<uninstall for="2.0-2.0.99">

it would be nice to see this updated (well rewritten) for smf 2.1.x
but seeing as how the mod author hasn't even been active since 2015 I wouldn't hold my breath

There is a Best Answer mod compatible with Smf 2.1.x.
