Looks fantastic and is everything I've been looking for!

Can't wait until Private Groups Forums' are protected. Will install after that ;) :up:

Thanks for the update Phalynx. It's what I'm looking for, for sure.

has anyone experienced a thread deleting itself? threads that were created in a forum created by one of our groups is gone and no one deleted it. i check the mod logs too.

Haven't yet, but will keep an eye out for that.

I had the same problem. Go into forum manager and click on the forum that is connected to your social group and look at the default view age. You need to set that to what you want.

thanks!!!!!!!!!

So, everyone can see the forum regardless of the selection for this option?

What does this option do, then?

It just hides the forum from beeing displayed in forumslist. But who knows the Forum ID can still access it.

A new version has been released. It introduces the long awaited permissions for moderated/invite only socialgroups.

Changelog 1.3.0:
- Added: Private groups: Link to forum only shown to members of group
- Added: Permissions are now active. This includes read/write public and private (moderated/invite only) socialforums and creation of forum. Please check permissions for every usergroup! As this needs two additional queries on every page you can disable this.
- Added: Checks for permission before a creation link will be displayed
- Changed: Default View Age set to "Show all Threads"

How to upgrade:
1. Upload bitfield_socialforums.xml to existing folder /includes/xml/
2. Upgrade: Uninstall existing version, import the product. No forums get lost!
3. Check settings, especially for parent forum

Thank you!
