phpBB • Free and Open Source Forum Software

I'm a little bit confused about the term "posting permissions" instead of "forum permissions" :oops:. But to sum it up: It's fine to set up group's forum permissions for one (sub)forum and then use the "copy forum permissions" function while marking all elements (includ...

I have somewhat of a newbie question: On my test-board I realized that the "Copy forum permissions" function runs really fast, even on shared hosting and with hundreds of forums. Could I just update the group forum permissions for one forum as I want them to have and then copy the permissi...

Thanks a lot for your answer!

About 15. If nobody knows how to achieve what I want via SQL queries, could you please tell me where exactly in the database the info (e.g. "can search forum" activated) is stored? Maybe with trial and error I can figure out how to activate / deactivate specific group's forum permissions v...

Let's take the "Can search the forum" option as an example. How could I activate it for all users on all forums, or at least for all members of a specific group (e.g. registered users) in all forums using a SQL query?

Nobody here who can answer this? It would safe me a LOT of time.

As I have ~500 (sub)forums it would take a very long time doing it manually. A SQL query would be perfect.

Let's...

Thanks for the Link.

Really nobody?

Can anybody help me and tell me if that 2nd code change is OK or not?

I need to censor a few URLs that are posted by humans again and again (with newly created accounts) using an IP range I can't block without locking out half of my users. I seem to have found a working solution, but would greatly appreaciate if someone experienced has a quick look at it to make sure ...

It's definitely the Auto Backup Mod which also explains the existing edits in cron.php (and includes/functions.php).

Probably the Auto Backup Mod is installed. You can turn it off by logging into the phpBB Administration Control Panel / Maintenance / Auto Backup / Enable Auto Backup: Change to Disabled / Submit.

Ok, thanks everybody!

Ok, that does the trick for me, locks all forums:
