Board groups / query_see_board
May 19, 2013, 04:40:54 pm
I was just looking in to removing the membergroups column in boards. One solution is to add another table. I was thinking instead of another table, a permission 'can_see' in board_permissions. Another possible permission would be can_ignore. At the same time, change permission to char(30) instead of a varchar(). A couple of more bytes in the database, but faster lookups. I am interested to know what Wedge did.

What usability issues did you discover?

More importantly, why is it so hard for you to do a little work yourself? Hint: I said there were usability issues when it was a mod, the link for which I even provided for you to save you having to spend time searching for it. I assumed you'd be smart enough to put 2 and 2 together to make 4 and read the comments in the mod's thread, but clearly I overrated your abilities. This is why I'm naturally a dick to you.

I think doing that part makes sense as well

Dunno, I'm not a big fan of "private topics" in "common" boards... I find it hard to always have the doubt if a topic is accessible to someone or not, etc... Privacy is privacy (well, not that what we can provide in a php script can be called privacy anyway) and should stay in another place I think.

Privacy concerns are valid at Facebook for instance, but if you clearly indicate somewhere a list of users who can read your stuff, then it's really not a problem anymore... ^^

Yeah, but I hate when I send someone a link and he answers me: "oh I can't read it, can you sum it up or send me the content of it?". It already happens with normal boards, only think that before do anything I should think (again) "will the one I'm sending the link to be able to open that link?" would be a pain...
