Notices Tab Greyed out

I started a new topic on this one.

Its a old issue i had and posted it in the archived forum.

Whenever a group is made, we see that the notice tab is greyed out, in other words.. notices cant be created

After some playimng around.. we did the following
In the Functions_group.php is a entry that states.
/// <summary>Can send group notices</summary>
'SendNotices' => '4398046511104',

we opened the table grouproles and put in the number : 4398046511104 on the owner role of a newly created group. then we can send notices.

But this code does not come in the db upon creating the group.

We dont know why it happens, or what causes it.. or... how to make it so that this code is used when needed.

Important to know for me would be, what value was initially for you in the field "Powers" of the table "jos_opensim_grouprole" for the owner?

This value comes from OpenSim itself (349644697632766 here for me on 0.7.1). It seems this value differes from version to version and/or even between Wamp and Lamp.

A similar problem I had with the difference between 0.7.0.2 and 0.7.1 for the "everyonepower" where 0.7.1 sends another value than older ones and thatfor inviting to that group was not working at all ... ... that's fixed in jOpenSim since 0.1.9.x though.

the following code comes default in our db
2147483647

This does not allow us to create notices, hence we cant even change that role for the group.

Hhmm, this value is EXACTLY the sum of the first 31 bits. Could be that you run on a 32bit architecture on Wamp and this makes a difference?

If you look into /com_opensim/includes/functions_groups.php, at line 232 (v0.1.9.3) you should seeif you change this first toand if it doesnt help, then tocan this solve the problem?

If the first solution does not help, it's most likely that the 32bit problem is located at the webserver side. If yes, the wrong value comes either from OpenSim itself or the server, OpenSim is running on.

we have tried both solutions but the both solutions give a 0 code in the database.

i was forget to tell we have an 32bit version of wamp.

Ok, that was my mistake. Of course the second one should be:... between two ' or " ... otherwise it is still an integer value higher than 32 Bit.

Thank you for the help

after i filled in
$ownersPowers = "490382185988094"; or $ownersPowers = '490382185988094'
the notices are blanked out again and in mysql it gives the 2147483647 code again.

the strange this also is that when i trie to give the sent notice to the everyone role en push apply the sent notice got never selected

Now that's really strange ... hmmm ... but you are able to enter the value '490382185988094' manually (e.g. with phpMyAdmin) into that field and then it remains there correct?

if we put the code 490382185988094 it stays the correct. So i guess the field can handle the code but i wont get there automatic.

the strange thing is also when i put the code the manually we still cant sent notices from the owner role
