Old Support Topics - Setting Advanced Group Permissions FAILED

Post subject: Setting Advanced Group Permissions FAILED
I am curently using the following:

Version of Icy Phoenix: 1.2.0.27
Version of phpBB: 2.0.23
Version of PHP: 4.4.8
Version of MySQL: 4.1.22-standard-log

Here is my problem:

Currently I have set my Forums and Sub-Forums for the most part private to allow a greater more advanced control. I then go to Groups >> Permissions >> ( selected group ) >> Advanced Mode. I make my changes and submit. I am then redirected to the Group Permissions Control and nothing has changed and the Group Permissions Control does not allow me to go back into any of he groups unless I use the left navigation, even then, the advanced mode permissions haven't changed. Yet I can set the simple permissions just fine and they take. However for my forums use I require specific permissions per group.

So, where do I start to fix this problem.

So I went so far as to patch up to 1.2.0.27C and again. I tried doing user specific advanced permissions as a work around and the group advanced permissions again and it all goes back to group permissions control page. Any suggestions I would appreciate.

Alright, now I have found where the limitation of the problem is and I think this may be a bug as I have tested it on several installations on multiple servers.

I am limited to three categories or forums, with at the most five sub forums each. After that it goes to the behavior described in the first post when trying to set private permissions to well any user, or group.

I am using a stock, 1.2.0.27c fresh install now and teh behavior hasn't changed. I've checked my files over and over, checked the database, cleared the cache, searched these forums for hours upon end, hell I even spent time with my provider.

I've been talking to myself for about fourteen days now, and I hope that my reporting hasn't gone to waste.

With my forum I require multiple category's / forum's with some sections having Sub-Forums. I am fairly experienced at modding, and reading code, I just cannot seem to find the problem.

Some please help me fix this.

I will tag it as bug...

I cannot provide you help. Can you paste the file code (using spoilers), please?

Everything is stock latest IP. No modifications, just plain old Icy Phoenix.

though when I try to post you teh code it says access to the address is forbidden to me.

( UPDATE ) Under the thread Unable To Edit Group Permissions With Too Many Forums by hal9000 under the General Support Section. I used his "display" code to see what is going on in the process of updating private group permissions. I am apparently coming up with the same results, the hash stops with no submit at the end.

( UPDATE 13:15 EST 2008-08-28 )
taking a chance I looked a the above linked thread. Unable To Edit Group Permissions With Too Many Forums by hal9000 under the General Support Section. I modded the code as he directed and now it works past my normal mark. I was under teh impression that the code was already in 1.2.0.27C however it appears not. If Hal9000 is busy I can give the clean code and package to add in.

I didn't add this code to 027c because I couldn't test it completely.

Can you confirm that this code solved all your problems?

I will try to have a further look when I have time.

I can confirm that it fixes the issue. I tested it thoroughly, anyone else like to confirm?

hal900's previously linked fix corrected the problem with the advanced permissions problem. When you have too many forums, the advanced permissions for forums doesn't hold it's values ( private, reg, mod, admin). instead you get sent back to the forum permission selection screen.

Using his fix from the thread below, instead of trying to do it all at once, it only updates the changes made to the permissions and fixes the problem.

del_unchanged_selects.js

Thanks for reporting, I should have integrated this as well... as soon as the new RC is out, can you please test it for me and confirm that it is working fine?

Another suggestion for those who are having problems with it... please use FireFox, as it as an higher _POST var capability than other browsers.
