Dizkus is designed to run as a module under Zikula. It is assumed that you have the appropriate version of Zikula already running on your web site. We recommend min Zikula 1.3.1
- Extract zip package
- Copy the content of modules to your Zikula's modules folder (not modules/Modules!!)
- regenerate module list
- install and activate Dizkus
- activate hooks for Dizkus as needed
- create a menulink to the module: {Dizkus}
- copy backforum.php from the Dizkus folder to your Zikula root folder
- remove existing pnForum-blocks
- backup and delete the directory modules/pnForum
- upload the new files to modules/Dizkus
- Block names changed so blocks have to be reinstalled and the permissions need to be upgraded manually.
- display name gets reset to Dizkus. If you changed it you have to reconfigure this.
For the integration of attachments a current version of MediaAttach is required. The release candidate of MediaAttach is not working, because it is using the old pnForum-module. Please use a current SVN version.
An attempt was made to provide maximum compatibility with existing browsers and themes. But the Internet Explorer 6 does not use the "rounded corners"-feature. For IE-Browser it is realized with an additional javascript (NiftyCube). Firefox, Safari & Co. are using simple CSS-rules for that.
Permission-schema = Dizkus:: CategoryID:ForumID:
Example 1: If you want to forbid my guests to access an internal forum (e.g. CategoryID 7, ForumID 12) you would use
|| '''Group''' || '''Component''' || '''Instance''' || '''Permissions level''' ||
|| unreg. User || Dizkus:: || 7:12: || none ||
Example 2: Moderators for this forum
|| '''Group''' || '''Component''' || '''Instance''' || '''Permissions level''' ||
|| Moderatorgroup || Dizkus:: || 7:12: || moderate ||
Example 3: Is there another Forum (ID 14) in the catgory, you an also use
|| '''Group''' || '''Component''' || '''Instance''' || '''Permissions level''' ||
|| Moderatorgroup || Dizkus:: || 7:(12|14): || moderate ||
Example 4: As usual, you need the comment right to write new postings. Allows all registered users to write in all forums
|| '''Group''' || '''Component''' || '''Instance''' || '''Permissions level''' ||
|| Users || Dizkus:: || .* || comment ||
Error in SQL Statement - Ticket 217 "Activate Dizkus for Dizkus".
Users attempting to post would yield an error similar to below.
"Automatically-created topic for discussion of submitted entries"
Upon investigation we discovered that the Dizkus module was hooked to itself, removing the tick resolves that issue.
