FriendsOfFlarum Byōbu, well integrated, advanced private discussions

DCar

luceos Just following up to inquire about 'how to' determine if the encountered behaviour is by design or a 'bug'. If a 'bug' how would one go about reporting the 'bug'?

DCar I haven't read the full conversation above but if you can describe steps from a fresh Flarum install that lead to the issue it would be the most helpful report!

Looking at the report about the global permission I think it should be pretty easy to test if that's a general issue even without detailed steps. I haven't personally had time to investigate though.

The original issue manifested on Flarum forum installed on FreeFlarum (used to evaluate product for organization's requirements). We have subsequently installed Flarum on the organization's hosting site.

In the FreeFlarum installation, disabled extensions (all) in order to test. In this particular organization's use case / requirements, users may only create discussions within specific 'tag' (accomplished via 'restrict by tag') and are unable to Globally 'Start Discussions'. When configured in this manner, the users are unable to Start Private Discussions despite the permissions being set to allow for Create private discussions with users and Add more than 2 user recipients to private discussion. As a step in trouble-shooting I enabled the Global Permission to Start discussions for those users and they were then able to Start Private Discussions.

In the newly installed Flarum forum, on the organization's hosting site, this exact same behaviour is observed. Same conditions, when users are configured to only Start Discussions is specific tags they are unable to Start Private Discussions (even if Create private discussions with users and Add more than 2 user recipients to private discussion. is enabled for them). If I enable the users with the Start Discussions (Global) they are able to Create Private Discussions

Unfortunately, the organization's requirements are such that users may only Start Discussions within specific tags.

v.1.3.2

Fixes:

nullsafe operator throws errors on environments with php 7, this fixes an issue introduced in 1.3.1 for sites running php 7

Communities running Byobu on PHP 7 need to update their PHP to at least 8.0, but 8.1 is recommended. As the last PHP 7 release (7.4) is end of life, now would be a good time to upgrade anyway: https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php

luceos tell please, is there a way to downgrade the plugin to latest version compatible with php 7.4 which will work on Flarum 1.8.1? As a temporary solution before php upgrade. It was updatetd to 1.3.1 and now doesn't work with my hosting configuration

Arnold

composer require for/byobu:"1.2.*"
php flarum cache:clear

I am not entirely sure this will work though, so make a backup!

Arnold

luceos thanks, it worked! 🤝

Sorry but I didn't find a solution. Is it possible for an Administrator (or a Moderator) to view the private discussion of normal users?

hrvoje_hr

marionline admin/mod can see private discussions only when they are reported

marionline

hrvoje_hr Ok, so... no "big brother" function. Thanks

Is it normal for this and the polls extension to make my home page appear to have nothing on it but the flarum header?

1.3.3

Hi, I cannot create private discussion via Byobu (latest version).
Here's a screenshot from debug:

NexonDEV fixed in 1.3.4

I'm trying to use private discussions with an extension(FoF Byōbu), but I can delete recipient users, but for some reason I can't delete groups.
I can add groups as recipients, but do I need another extension to remove them?
Or is it a feature that allows you to add groups as recipients, but not remove them?

luceos

Confirmed.

COLBYLICIOUS

I am installing byobu and then all discussions from first page dissapeared.

Hi all,
I have the situation that the toggle in user settings for turning on/off "Block private discussions" is not working (users, including admins, cannot activate the toggle). Is this a known issue or am I missing something?
