[BETA] More Board/Category Options 1.2 for SP1.1
Apr 8th, 2002 at 1:16am
 
yay lol! finally got round to bug fixing and updating Smiley

mod info:

Quote:
The mod gives you a new link on the admin-Center: More Options for Boards/Categories
It allows you to
1. Passwort protect boards
2. Set an icon for every board/category which will be displayed on the BoardIndex


Install intructions:
UPDATE from version 1.0: Uninstall version 1.0 and install 1.1, replace MBCoptions.pl also
1. Place the MBCoptions.pl in your /Sources directory and chmod it 755
2. Place the locking.gif and lockopen.gif in your /YaBBImages directory
3. Install this mod as usual

Manual:
Password protection for boards and icons for boards/categories can be set on the
"More options for Boards/Categories" page accessable from the admin-center,
section "Forum Controls".
Password protection:
A lock (open or closed) next to the boardname on the boardindex indicates that this board is protected. If a user clicks on the boardname he/she will be asked for the password. If the correct password is entered, the board will be unlocked, indicated by an open lock. The user can now view/post on this board. The board is be unlock till the user logs off YaBB. There's not option to log off a specific board. Guest are not allowed to log in protected boards. This COULD be added, but makes it more complicated. Tell me if you REALLY NEED this feature. Icons for Boards/Categories:
Should be obvious Wink Icons must be placed in the /YaBBImages dir.

Version History:
0.1: First private release
0.2: Bug fixed: Direct URL to Post new thread on a protected board didn't ask for the password
     Small cosmetic change of icon placement
0.3: Cookie management impleted
0.4: Securiy hole fixed (thanks to DaveB!): Password was stored in cookie UNencrypted
0.5: Getting closer to 1.0 Wink Another security hole fixed: Cookie was set to never expire. If a user forgets to logout, the cookie never gets deleted (i.e. never expires). Now, cookie expiration is set to the default value.
1.0: Better handling of guests (Thanks to Blacky!)
     Small bug on enter password page fixed (Thanks to Starmartyr and Blacky!)
     Password field is "censored" now (with "*")
1.1: Bug fixes:
     - Better LogOut handling. Some reported getting a 404 error on Logout,     fixed now
     - Category icon is set to "nothing" after deleting it
     - Layout: No space before the Board/category without an icon set anymore
     - Removed unnecessary censoring of thread number
     - Layout: Better icon alignement (thanks Godai!)
     - Topic summary is not shown anymore with new threads
1.1 SP: Nothing New really:
     - Now Compatible with SP thanks to omario
1.2 SP1.1: Bug Fixes
     - Login/Out Bug Fixed Thanks to Bluecloud
     - Profile.pl Bug Fixed
     - SP1.1 Compatible Smiley


nice eh? Wink

I have a question. I installed your previous mod ( the 1.0 or 1.1 I believe ) from a PC @ home. This pc crashed and I had to re-install everything on my PC, including BoardMod 2.5.

How is it possible to de-install the old version with boardmod if I do not have the log files anymore? I mean an automatic way, not a manual way.

Anychance this can be achieved?

what for Bugs killed in 1.2 !? profile.pl Bug !? i dont see any bugs in my forum !?!?


And no one adds a cookie so that i must enter the PW not every few hours. I will enter PW and then no more enter the PW. Only if I delete my cookies in Browser... No one can do this. I have 4 Boards protocted with an PW and dont like to enter the PW every few hours


*edit*

ahm I mean that cookie is deleted when I click on log out or when i havenīt checked the "always stay log in" checkbox.

My cookie expires after a few hours I wasnīt on the Board but not when I click on logout

you canged it in Version 0.5

Quote:
0.5: Getting closer to 1.0 Another security hole fixed: Cookie was set to never expire. If a user forgets to logout, the cookie never gets deleted (i.e. never expires). Now, cookie expiration is set to the default value


But I dont understand why its a security hole when cookie is only deleted when I click on Logout Tongue Lips Sealed
