GIPHY for vB5 and vB6 (Self-hosted)

[Mitch]

Mitch and I have successfully installed and set up GIPHY mod on his vBCloud forum.

The cloud Giphy mod is working flawlessly on our forum. Thanks Glenn, for taking the time to implement it.

I'm excited to announce that I have released the GIPHY for vBCloud mod:

I applied for Production API key from GIPHY to remove the 10k requests limit on this site and they approved it! This is not required under normal conditions but if you think you will exceed this limit, you must apply for it.



If you need help applying the same, please let me know.

The beta api key is now limited to 100 calls per hour. So I am interested in switching to a production api key. How difficult was it to get the approvement for a production key from GIPHY?

I had submiited a request for a production API key. This request has been rejected by GIPHY with the explanation that the app does not meet their criteria. They think I would be fine using the beta key and I don't need unlimited requests. I provided a similar screen video like you did. Any suggestions?

Maybe it would also help to provide the monthly user visits, number of users, posts, etc?

I want to define a secondary user group whose membership determines whether a user is allowed to use the GIPHY mod or not. To do this, I created a group called “GIPHY users” and set all permissions to “No.” After all, the relevant permissions are as far as I know overwritten by the primary user group when set to “Yes.” For this approach, mere membership in the “GIPHY users” group is all that’s required. The “GIPHY users” group has been allowed to use the mod.

If I add a user from the “Registered User” group—who is not allowed to use GIPHY—also to the “GIPHY users” group as well, I would have expected that user to be allowed to use GIPHY. However, that is not the case.

Does the GIPHY mod ignore the membership of a secondary user group?

Btw. I have the same problem with the Shoutbox mod.

The mod only checks the primary usergroup. I will update it to also check the secondary usergroup.

Released v1.2 to add Secondary Usergroups option. Paid customers will receive an email confirmation containing the download link.

flohse, please confirm if the Secondary Usergroups option works in the latest version. Once confirmed, I will add the same on other mods that have Primary Usergroups option. Thanks!
