SWEET!

wow, i really was not expecting a reply. i remember looking for this like a year ago, so i figured it was dead. anyways, i'm working on a high school site, and it'd be great to get all the clubs integrated into a single forum. hopefully, that application is sort of in the direction you're going?

don't quite get what you mean about integrated into a single forum but if you can clarify i'll try and let you know.

and yup it's taken me ages just to get here, back when i thought of the idea as you can see it was for vB2, then vB3 came about and then i learned how to code a tiny bit and got the confessions hack semi working, then came the hacks i needed for my site so i was away doing that, that turned into a break from vBulletin all together and now i'm only just returning.

my plan it to make a basic working version and then from there build it up into something special.

well, my vision is this:
- all clubs have a section in the forum
- each club has their own portal, w/ news loaded from a subforum, and calendar and modifiable sections. although, this could just be vbindex manually applied, or some other already made portal mod.
- little icons signifying what club(s) you're in show up on postbits & profile, along with modified images for rank (ie, pres, treasurer, bulletin editor)
- pages dynamically showing the forum roster for a club
- application pages for each club that have what the club is about, and have fields for info. club leaders would then be able to approve/decline the applications.
- the option have hidden forums only available to full-fledged members

really, i could probably work these all out manually, but it would be REALLY nice to have them all streamlined, though. now that i think about it, i guess it wouldn't be that hard to make myself...

edit: thing is, i don't really know how to integrate all these things into a control panel to make it easier for future admins to manage, once i get out of high school. i know php, but making it all tie in to the admincp would mean i'd have to learn more about coding for vb, and blargh. it'd help me out a lot if someone with more vb experience could figure it out.

- all clubs have a section in the forum nope, that would've been simpler than what i'm trying to do, basically the groups are self contained, away from the forumhome, thus no forum
- each club has their own portal, w/ news loaded from a subforum, and calendar and modifiable sections. although, this could just be vbindex manually applied, or some other already made portal mod. each page will indeed have an index page
- little icons signifying what club(s) you're in show up on postbits & profile, along with modified images for rank (ie, pres, treasurer, bulletin editor) not sure about postbit but profile although something in the drop down might be a good idea
- pages dynamically showing the forum roster for a club forum roster?
- application pages for each club that have what the club is about, and have fields for info. club leaders would then be able to approve/decline the applications. yep theirs an application page
- the option have hidden forums only available to full-fledged members yup their'll be groups members only can read

so there's no interaction between clubs?
i would have to do that for a high school site, esp. when it's hard to motivate people to sign up for a single forum. having a forumhome w/ all clubs would be the best way, in my situation, for users to intuitively tell they only have to sign up once, and that all the clubs are related to each other in some way.

oh well.

As the Family Guy would say.... "FRIGGIN SWEET!!!!"

you'd have a groups index page

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/...chmentid=18290

something like that, it's already changed a bit but you get the idea

hmm iallready made a hack like this
posted the new version [url=https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=72448]here[url]

sabret00the - if you got time i can really use some help for devlopment more addtions to the hack if you want to help please pm

FRIGGIN SWEET! (did I mention this already?)

for those who were unappeased by the teams hack, which looks incredibly good btw

and sorry it's taken me so long to get even to this stage, too many ideas flowing from me

only thing i gotta do on the main script is the additional viewing options and the 'my groups bit, but with the latter as i wanna do something special there i'm gonna delay that, so now i'm gonna start on the viewing page/individual page bit

Are we gonna be able to moderate the groups? Also, can we have them have special themes that they can edit?

FRIGGIN SWEET! (did I mention this already?)

at the moment the script is built in such a way that groups must be moderated, although you should've just checked the screenie :p (that was a joke btw incase my tone came across all aggressive).

regarding personalised themes, the plan at the moment is to have mini-headers on group pages, basically it'll be a small strip with your sites logo/name then navigation. then from there you'd be able to personalise by (what i'm hoping for anyway) is overwriting the css colour variables, that's the plan, however it's gonna be a while off, i've gotta actually get it fully working in it's most basic form before i get to the advances features of which that i consider.

as soon as i get the group page made i'll post a screenie, in terms of getting the pages done (working, not final with all features) i'm around a third of the way, as i said i got a bit to work on with the index. i.e "my groups" bit, and the different display for full group browsing.

DOH! I did look but missed that completely obvious point!

Post your paypal link when you are ready, I am dying for this!!

-Jason

as soon as it's finished i'll post up the link for you :)
i'm hoping to get a bit batch of thsi done over the next week, hopefully i'll get to the point where i just have to do all the advanced features, i'm pretty sure i'm making it harder on myself going about it the way i am but who knows, basically i just wanna be left with having to add the permissions system, personalised look, etc, oh and i still gotta look into how the wysiwyg editor works.

hm, i guess this could work for my purposes too. i'll be awaiting your clubs hack then... :up:

edit: and i need this asap, so if you could... work. faster? :ermm: whatever, don't mind me.

ok still working on this, although i got a client waiting for something so should give it a break but

although i got it to do all that, i gotta do alot of work on this bit still so don't get too excited :)

too late, I wasnt excited before the screenshots ... now I am :)

How are we doing? I hope our hack author didnt party too hard over the holiday :)

Question. Does this use the current member groups system? I am thinking of opening some member groups but dont want to if they wont import under this system.

Thanks!

-Jason

not hard enough ;) hope you had a good one.

it uses it own member group system independant of the stock vboption.

Drats! And thanks, I spent it home with the family, most of last year was overseas so it was a good change :)

When do you think this will be out? Weeks, months? I am thinking of starting my groups (a few) but if this is close to working then I will definately wait.

The current groups system just peaves me. So much possibility but very little implementation.

Hey, I just realized this thread is in the VB2 mods section. This is for 3+ right? We should get it moved!

yup it's for vB3

give it too months and by then you're atleast to have seen/played with a beta. at the moment i've kinda halted progress as i'm stuck on working out how to get the vB-Editor (WYSIWYG, Standard, Enhanced) onto a couple of the pages and it aint going to well so i gotta figure this out, i even emailed someone who's done it but never got a reply :( so that's the major hang-up atm.

progress report, got the discussion bit coded, just need to code into that the pagenav.

got the main page coded too

got the admin moderation sorted

got the index coded and just need to implement the 'my groups' bit

basically just gotta code the edit post bit.

convert main groups management page from textarea to vBeditor

code the bit to join and leave groups oh and the group leader moderation

and that's it for the main part of the script, the rest is all add-on's like the profile and postbit integration.

something like that anyway :lol:

So whats our time lookin at?! I am ready! Also, what about Ushop support? For example I told my folks that to create a club I am going to charge them points and then for club add ons too for example like extra forums etc. Give them reasons/excuses to use their virtual cash :)

Excellent work!!!

-Jason

timeframe don't ask, i'm about to enter several fields i've never ever even thought about doing before in order to complete this hack.

uShop support, that's a good idea, great idea infact, probably best released as an add-on though i will check, that'd be one of the last things to add if i ship it as a stock option.

extra forums, this hack is currently set up to support one 'thread' per group, though it might emerge at a later date that theirs an add-on to add forums or multiple threads, it's not an option for this release due to the fact that this part of the script is modelled on Yahoo! Groups functionality rather than MSN Groups.

Screenshot of the discussion bit.

another progress report because i'm all excited

got the discussion bit fully coded now bit coded now bar the pagenav.

still need to implement the 'my groups' bit

converted all textarea's to vBeditor still need to fix the quick reply issue though

sort out group members moderation, shouldn't be too hard

sort out script to log post edits (maybe)

do permissions

and then optional add-on's like the profile and postbit integration and store points usage.

it's getting very close i hope :)

Very nice this MOd and this one is going to be one of the best MOD that i will install it in my board.. i hope that to see it very soon .. Released.

thankyou very much

Yay another progress report

Stuff still to do

• private groups posting now full implemented
• sort out group members moderation, still shouldn't be too hard hoping to convert an admin script i was playing with
• sort out script to log post edits (maybe)
• do permissions
• do admin scripts
• and then optional add-on's like the profile and postbit integration and store points usage.

not forgetting the uShop integration although with that theirs a whole discussion to be had regarding the methodology of letting groups customise colours, for me it wold be so much easier to just let them have a css box and they can do their own thing (MySpace Groups style) but some people may find that overtly complicated at which point i could always say you could set up a group for that blah blah what do you all think?

as you can see i've not managed to make the list dwindle much at all as i got stuck (fixed now thanks to marco), but i'm back on track and am hoping to finish the whole of the front-end by the end of tomorrow (not including the postbit and profile integration) then it's onto admin scripts, at the moment it's looking like a quick install too. although i'm pretty sure i'll have to edit the many occurances of "../forums" but bar that a few queries, a super amount of templates which is set to grow
and that's about it, oh and this isn't phrased btw and i doubt it will be for the release as i want to make sure it's working first and foremost.

very nice .. i really waiting this MOD to be Released as soon as u can .. and i will be the first one to test it ..

thankyou for this hard work .. and keep the good work up.

Peace.

should be about five days now (till the beta, i'm hoping 2 days will beenough beta testing ) anyway i just got the boring ++++ to do likecatergories and searching, it wouldn't even be too boring but it'smaking all the whiles and templates for it. oh yeah (to remind myselfmainly) i still gotta dig up the 3 line pagenav code.

that means;
# group member moderation done
# permissions done although untested
# done admin scripts

stuff which may delay the release as i haven't quite done yet is theuShop Integration (although not quite sure if trackpads still wantsthis hack thus still wants that feature, saying that if it was all doneas an add-on you could charge people for the ability to make theirgroups private, the ability to moderate members, etc, etc).

profile and postbit integration still aint done either, i'm not quitesure what to do with these two bar add a link to pop up "all of theirgroups" :shrug:

oh and ofcourse i gotta remove the abundence of commented out code lol

wOoooooow u are almost finiesh ... do u make any screen shot of the mod .. it wil be nice .. :D

thankyou

i didn't code anything all week :o

got way too busy and kinda found some other stuff i need to code (to do with this that i totally forgot about) :(

so their'll be a slight delay.

any news about this mods ?

it's coming alone nicely i restarted work on it this week and am getting closer and closer to finishing it.

thankyou veyr much i wait this mod soo bad and i hope u really get it work .. if u can take a screen shot it will make me take it easy :D :D :D

Thankyou for yoru reply :)

regarding screenshots not much has changed since previous screenshots provided in this thread to be honest with you.

ok new screenshot

17 pages
33 templates

hoping for a midweek release :)

maybe we should set the release date for the weekend, having problems with getting the installer sorted and still gotta alpha test on my site?

WooooooooW sound like U are done already .. well i will regisiter at your site and see how this work :)
