i put the dorms admin back 2 644 on chmod and it works now

....lmao...okay whatever works :-p

lol but yeah, i put the CHMOD's on the files back to their original and it works perfect now, time to get testing :) Thanks for the brilliant support

im betting your server is set to not allow files to exist so 'freely' that is, completely accessible via 777 :-p or i dont know, im not a sysadmin, maybe in a few years or something, lol

and of course :-p id like to see more people using my hacks

hehe well me and another member are running over it now, it works like a dream, One request though -- If your not a member of someones dorm , then you shouldnt be able to see any posts there :)

alright, i might be able to hijack the password system and have it hide stuff as another option :-p ill think about it for the next version

oh, and i found one error in the templates:

in dorms_leaderview
<phrase 1="$numthreads" 2="$doptions[maxmembers]">
should read
<phrase 1="$numthreads" 2="$doptions[maxthreads]">

if you have the same member max as thread max, you wouldnt have noticed this. itll be updated in the new version

Question :) lol on the dorm.php page near the bottom right theres a button saying PUBLIC, what does this do? Also, the other member invited me to join his dorm, and it automatically let me etc, i didnt get a request, neither did he when i invited him. And were not showing up as beeing members of the dorms

okay, only in your dorm, (if the admin public option is turned off) then only members of your dorm can post in threads that you create. however, to have a thread which allows the rest of the forum to post in it, you can set 1 thread to 'Public' which becomes a special thread which everyone can post in. (this was something many people wanted during my experience of manual dorm-doing, and the guestroom function is an example of me hijacking the sticky system :-p)

you get listed as members in the forum description. if those are turned off, you wont see the listed members obviously. other than forum listings, membership is invisible, although your dorm will appear as unlocked in the dorm listing. im not sure why it isnt pming. ill look at it right now. and i spent an hour crunching the entirety of private.php into 7 lines of code :-p and they all work on my test forum and mainsite forum btw.

oh, if your already registered to a dorm, the invite request will not go through, and you wont get the option to choose a dorm (because your in one! the see the inview and outview based on if you are joined to a dorm)

and i looked at your forum descriptions, and both of you are showing up on your respective dorms, so where do you not show up? the dorm display is rendered when in any aspect of the dorm control panel, and is normally displayed as the description when on a dorm forum

ok heres a picture of the dorm page. I invited a member to join but he never got a pm or anything, and hes not showing up as a member of my dorm. Same vice versa
