I'm getting this error when trying to create a social forum -

I have the parent ID set to 1 in the SocialForum settings. Any ideas?



******Nevermind. Found my database error.

Major error. I installed the template hack for the group display, which isn't written for this hack. I found this out after installing this hack.

I tried to uninstall and it did not uninstall the usergroup options. I am left with 3 blank selections at the bottom of my usergroups and I get a DB error everytime I try to change anything in the usergroup options.

I tried to reinstall and it did nothing. I would really like to just remove it since I can't use it with that template mod. Can anyone help me stop the DB error?

Anyone have any ideas?

I'd really like to be able to edit my usergroups again.... :/

Comon' anybody?!?!?!?

Omg, I'm sorry. This product is fine. I uninstalled something right before this which was causing the problems. I'm so sorry!

Could someone elaborate on the caching issues? We've noticed that with multiple front ends, there is a problem that sometimes the forums seem to disappear for some users.

You're correct. Also, it's not only when members navigate with getnew searches. If you have the groups for ontopic discussions (and not for general community use with offtopic groups), then you need to keep all the content (discussions) in one place. With this mod, we have the groups' forums inside our forums list. With 3.8, discussions are only found inside each group. :)

Yep this mod is much better than what's built into 3.8. Hopefully we'll be able to turn off social group thread completely and use this mod instead.

With vb 3.8 coming up with similar functionality, do you have any idea's about importing Social group threads from this mod into vb 3.8's 'social group discussion' threads?

If this hasn't been suggested already, I'd like a field in admincp to set on the back end that shows you how many posts a group needs, as one of the prerequisistes to make a social forum. Then, something that shows up on the groups home page, that says

Social Groups may create a Social Forum to add functionality to their Group. You must have at least (x) members, and at least (X) posts in your Social Group in order to create a Social Forum for your Group.

As I currently don't know how they will exactly handle the threads, I cannot promise anything. But I think they will do it like with the blog.


Nice idea, but let's see how 3.8 will interfere with this mod. If there are after 3.8 enough users that want to see this continued, I will probably do a v2.0

thanks dear

very nice !

Update to 1.4.5 has been released. Permissions are now also active in Archive.

How to update?
1. Upload functions_socialforums.php to existing folder /includes/
2. Import the product, allow overwrite. No forums get lost!
3. Check settings, especially for parent forum. Don't forget to set permissions via usergroups!

My hats off to Phalynx. Making some of the best hacks available for vB.

Permission Can read messages in public socialforum didn't work for me.

same here

Same here, actually "Can read messages in private socialforums" don't work either. Therefore, mods and admins no longer have access.

Group starters can't be ignored

Any possibility of changing that?

Will take a look.

Remove them as moderator and disable setting which makes group leaders moderators of their forum.

but then i'd have group forums without mods? I want them mods of their groups but able to be ignored outside their groups.

not possible?

No. You must enable the setting that moderators can be set to be ignored.

Change the vb option to allow users to ignore moderators...

Cheers appreciate it - will do.

A moderator won't be able to give warnings to a user which is a owner of a socialforum. Is there a way to fix that ? Since they abuse it right now on my board.

Thanks.

Create another usergroup that isnt your main moderator group, put them in it, and assign that group permissions to open/close/delete threads. You'd have to create a group for each forum, but...

I installed this mod, however, when I tried to get it to work on my vBulletin, the create forum link will no appear. I have the forum ID set correctly and I also have reached the minimum members on my test group, yet it still won't pop up. I've read through 12 pages of this thread to try to find answers, however, everything I found hasn't helped. If you guys have any ideas, they would be greatly appreciated.

Please click Mark as Installed to get further support.

Check your usergroup's permissions.

Okay, I just did.

Nevermind. I got it working. Thanks!

admins cant view the forums users create? testing this with a user account and i can not view the forum created

also. if we have it enabled that users be moderators of their own forum, i would prefer that they do not get shown in the forum leaders under moderators. is there a way to fix that?

It's been almost a week now since buggy release of SF 1.4.5. I'm desperately waiting for a fix. Please fix this, or at least provide a link to the last release!

It's just very annoying that parts of the group permission settings are now being completely ignored.

I understand you, but I didn't find the time for the update. Now I fixed it.

Please upload functions_socialforums.php and reimport the XML.

Looks like it works like it should now. TY! :)

anyone else having a problem as an admin viewing a users forum?

can you guys see the forums created by members as admin if the permissions are set to yes for restriction mode?

just updated to 1.4.6 and it appears this problem is fixed. thanks.

Thank you very much! :)

Sorry about my impatience, but your mod has become an essential feature of my forums, and it was just not very nice to not have it functioning properly...

fantastic job and a great mod thank yu for sharing.

It would be nice to see delete groups forum for admins just from admincp since some groups are inactive so it would be easier to manage groups forums..

Is this the same thing that they're adding into 3.8?
