Go for it, and if they update it, let me know and I'll update my plugin.

Also, did you ensure the input box for e-mails has an email type? I like HTML5 forms
Actually, no I didn't, I forgot. But there are other reasons to use this rather than pure semantics - most notably, on the iPad, you get a different contextual keyboard to work with.

Pete, is this really plugin material...? Why not core?
I debated that last night, and the bottom line is that I don't think it's quite core material. How many forums have you seen that have such a thing?

The way I figure it, it's built and we can use it - and if it later turns out to be popular, we can fold it in to the core reasonably easily.

I've updated the plugin to use an email field, and also to correct the niggly bug. Everything else that could be done at this point is purely cosmetic (like highlighting errors better at the footer of the form) but I'm done for now, heh.

To think... Of all the time we could all save when developing Wedge, if there was no such thing as a spam bot or a forum troll... *sob*
Oh hell yes. But whatever is built, it will be abused.

So we are seeing a Private board but cannot enter if you set it so?
If you want to, yes. Or you can have boards that are invisible but accessible. And you can have groups that are prevented from seeing/entering regardless of any other groups a user might be in.

Amusingly (or not!), I always thought this was already implemented by you, Pete... :P
It's been on my todo list for ages, only last night I finally figured out how to make a reasonably sane UI for it.

2 hours work, and I'm almost done (one random quirky bug and I need to test it on a real server that can email but otherwise I'm done)

Another one for the list :)

I probably could make it a little nicer in places, but I wanted to get the core functionality done.

Yup :)

The way it's set up is that it's intentionally closest to how you'd do it in SMF - simplest case (either a group can see/enter a board or they can't), but that it's easy to make it more complex if you need to. (SMF does get some things right :P)

Yes. The view/enter mod was an ugly hack to be able to support denying without hacking up too much of SMF's code.

This allows for everything that View/Enter mod does - but without doing it as a permission, plus it's configured from the board directly, and it's much cleaner in the process. So you can do arbitrary view/enter settings per board without having to mess around with profiles.

That makes me wonder if the protected flag should be implemented generally or not, actually, regardless of whether it's used to prevent reports escalating like this or not.

Bump in case anyone else has any opinions they want to voice before I go implement this.

! Board access UI now works as expected, also fixed issue with respect to needing a disallow option (for cases where you wanted to allow one thing but disallow it without denying it) (install.sql, Load.php, ManageBoards.php, ManageBoards.template.php, Help and ManageBoards language files)

@ There is still stuff in the board loader that references board privacy but it's using the old groups structure. Not sure if we're supposed to be using that or not.

Features / Board access
« on February 27th, 2012, 01:41 AM »
OK, so this has been driving me nuts for months.

Some of you may know that we integrated the ability to split board viewing (on the board index) from access a while back, much as View Only Boards mod lets you do (or, the mod I wrote for any of you who remember that, haha[nb]Those of you who don't, it turns view/enter into physical board permissions)

On top of that, I actually made it so you could deny access to boards as opposed to just not allowing (e.g. if you wanted to have a banned group who could only access one board to plead their case)

But I couldn't figure out the interface to make it work, and I'm still not 100% about this but it's the nearest I've got to anything workable.

The first picture is the default that you'll see on making a new board - keeping in simple (where view = access, and no deny). The second picture turns on view != access, the third turns on deny as well (but of course you can turn on deny separately to view != access)

Thoughts?

Sorry that it's a bit confusing with the attachments, I probably should have used the gallery >_<
