Error Correction to "inc_profile.asp" instructions:

Look for this:

if InStr("," & strPPGroups & ",", ",","," & arAllGroups(0,iGcount) & ",") then response.write " checked"

Change it to this:

if InStr("," & strPPGroups & ",", "," & arAllGroups(0,iGcount) & ",") then response.write " checked"

I was digging through my code library looking for something else, and I came across this zip I'd put together but never posted. Its essentially the original UserGroup MOD plus a number of the posted bug fixes.

I may have missed a few that came up since I'd last worked on this, but its still less work for the next poor soul who has to start from the Beta 2.

Actually, if all the bugs have been worked out of this release it can probably be called version 1.0 RC or something.

Allowed Auto-Joining/Quitting

This sub-mod enables members to join/quit groups which the forum admin specifies as allowed.

Use:

1. For forum administrator, access the user group administration page from admin console "UserGroups Manager" link. Add/Edit user groups in same manner as previously, with one exception. There is an added checkbox to control whether members can join or quit particular groups from the "groupjoin.asp" file. Groups must NOT be hidden from members and the allow box must be checked for the group to be controlled from the new program.
2. For members, simply access the "groupjoin.asp" file. Group titles, descriptions and control links for any groups meeting the criterion in paragraph 1 above will be displayed. If a member already belongs to the group, a link to quit the group will be displayed; otherwise, a link to join will be displayed. Simply clicking the link will join/quit the group.

v1.1 Added Member display, Avatar links & a couple of security features, removed avatar border and added acronym.

v1.2 Fixed an issue with session variables not being released during auto actions. Actions are now immediate.

Gives administrators the ability to EMail all members of a particular user group.

Sorry about the password on previous version.

Prison and amnesty mod.

The Amnesty MOD is designed for administrators who (1) have a need for occasionally restricting users who misbehave and need reminding of forum rules, and (2) who have already installed both the Events Mod & the User Groups Mod.

Steps for Use: Create a forum category which only contains one area (I called mine "Correctional Custody"). Then, using the User Groups Mod, create a user group which has access to ONLY that area. Misbehaving users will be assigned to that User Group.

The Amnesty MOD provides administrators with a random-number generator which will select a date from a range that you choose (1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year). Then put that date into the Events calendar as a "General Amnesty" date on which you release any/all users who are currently in custody.

Allows administrators to restrict forum areas from minor members, with automatic removal of restriction upon a designated age. Requires use of birthdates instead of ages.
