Hello all,
Just migrated our forum into V7b3. I really like the new design.
Ive run into a couple of glitches though. We use JMail, and our server requires authentication. In version 6, this was as simple as adding:
.MailServerUserName = "user" 'your smtp userid
.MailServerPassword = "password" 'your smtp password
to our send_mail_function.inc file.
When I try this with V7b3, it comes up as an invalid object. Its been a while since I did the initial mod, but I dont think I added anything else to anywhere else to get it working.
The second question I have is a little more.. wierd.. I guess. Would it be possible to be able to add a group to a group? Like I want to add 3 users in a group called "AdminUsers" to the admin group. I was futzsing around earlier with trying to modify the code to accept multiple admin usergroups, but as my skill with asp is little to none, I was unable to do so. I got the root common.asp set right I think, but the admin folder's common.asp was a bit tougher, and I was unable to figure out how to do it.
The migration worked great. The only thing I could think of to make the whole upgrade smoother is a way to globally set group permissions. That way, the initial setup would happen much faster. Like turning off the ability for guest accounts to do anything but read the forum. Instead of individually configuring 20 different forums, or going into the database and doing it manually(which I did cause it took less time).
Good work Borg and Crew, Keep it up!
