Enable Polls, Quick Reply, Avatars, Sigs Per Forum for vB 4
Version 1.0.1
(By Boofo)

What does this product do?
This product gives you the options to enable or disable polls, quick reply, avatars and signatures on a per forum basis without using the default forumpermissions.

NOTE: I know some of these have been done separately, but I wanted to have these options available all in one mod instead of scattered about in multiple plugins or products. I have been running this on my site for a while now with no problems.

Version Information:
Version 1.0.0 --Initial release for vBulletin 4.0.0
Version 1.0.1 --Fixed issue with Avatars and Signatures not showing up in PMs if they were disabled for any forums.

Installation Overview:
-----------------------------------------------------
1 Product XML (6 Plugins and 9 phrases)

-----------------------------------------------------
Installation Instructions:
-----------------------------------------------------
1. Go to your Admin CP
Scroll down to 'Plugins & Products'
Click 'Manage Products'
Click 'Add/Import Product'
Click the 'Browse' button, and locate the product-boofo_per_forum.xml file on your computer

2. Go to your Admin CP -> Forums & Moderators -> Forum Manager and set the following options in each forum:
--Enable avatars in this forum: (Set this to 'No' to prevent any avatars from being viewed in this forum) -- Default if Yes
--Enable polls in this forum: (Set this to 'No' to prevent any polls from being made or viewed in this forum) -- Default is No
--Enable quick reply in this forum: (Set this to 'No' to prevent the quick reply from showing in this forum) -- Default is Yes
--Enable signatures in this forum: (Set this to 'No' to prevent any signatures from being viewed in this forum) -- Default is Yes
-----------------------------------------------------

Done!
Enjoy!

You're kidding, right? 23 forums and you can't set that? How do you find polls that are spread out over the whole site? That is why I set it up that way so I can have a separate forum just for polls and easy to get to.

That error happens when you try to install a product as a plugin. ;)

I found that the avatars setting for this mod overrides the user's own avatar view setting in settings->general settings. ie. it turned avatars on, even when the user has chosen not to show them. That's not a bug perhaps, but just the way it works.

Since I didn't need the avatar part of this mod I hacked my way around it by commenting out the avatar conditions in the plugin "Display Avatars & Sigs (postbit)"
