I am running 3.8.1. I have uploaded it. Check my permissions for admin group, and have the ability to create forums. I still can't see the link to create a forum. I have create the home forum, and there is more than enough members in the group. What else can i check?

works perfectly with 3.8.1 PL1

To get support, you will need to click "Mark as Installed".

So we can't test it on localhost or even online in private, we must "mark as installed" even if we're just testing some features, solving some problems before getting it ready for the 'live action' ? I don't get it. Really.

The "point" is, that most people coming here for support are not clicking "Mark as Installed", even if they use it on live systems. I'm offering this FREE Modification incl. FREE Service, all I want from you is doing just this ONE click. This one clicks shows me that people are using this modifications, it tells me that my work is usefull.

Feel free to install and click on "Mark as Installed". I'm also in the situation to give support to people who support me and my work.

Ok I get it, I just thought that clicking "the mark as installed" button meant that you really installed the hack on your live board.
Anyway your hack is very usefull !

Thank you.

Awesome mod, installed and working on KOWW, thanks Phalynx.

Uninstalled, was causing problems with group stats not being incremented.

Correct, it's incrementing only stats of forum (if created), not of discussions any more.

Have now marked as installed - thought wasted several days now as had thought you would support someone TRYING to install it. It's not really installed and useful at this stage as not working.

*sigh*

Your "error" description did not sounded like you need help installing. You need help by using this mod, and that's a big difference. Yes, you wasted time... by doing exactly what? Waiting for an answer? I wrote you already what you need to do.

Why I have to discuss with you to get you to click a link? You are getting a FREE modification with FREE support. All I want is just one click. It's my time that I'm investing here. If you don't like this product, uninstall it and get happy. If you like it, click install and I will help you.

If you still need assistance regarding this, please provide me an temporary admin account so I can look.

Thanks anyway :)

Moderators and Global moderator can see private forums trough the archives, along with all the topics in that forum even if they have not the permissions to read/write on private forum.

They can not read the topic but display all topic titles in that forum.

Forum isn't visible for members.

Any fix for this?

I cannot confirm this.

I'm kinda confused. I'm currently running 3.7.6 with Social Groups 1.4. I'm going to upgrade to 3.8 soon, but you're saying 2.0 doesn't work in 3.7.x so I can't upgrade it to 2.0. And I assume 1.4 doesnt work in 3.8 which means I cant switch to 3.8 as well... How do I need to upgrade?

Just upgrade to 3.8 and after that to SF 2.0
You have after upgrading to 3.8 no option to create a forum, but existing forums are not beeing touched. With SF 2.0 you will have the option to create a forum.

Thanks for the information :) I'll upgrade it asap.

I have a socialforum that I want to move out of socialforums and no longer be subject to social group permission/membership. I want it to be subject to standard group permissions. Should I move it out of the socialforums and then abandon the social group?

I don't want to lose anything.

Just delete the group and the forum is "free". Don't forget to delete also the moderator from this forum.
If you need only to disconnect a forum from a social group, use this query:
(replace %GROUPID% with your groupid)

UPDATE socialgroup SET forumid=0 WHERE groupid=%GROUPID%

Thanks Phylanx! That's perfect.

I notice with every update that social discussions are starting to looking more and more like socialforums:)

Thanks again.

Phalynx, do you think it's possible to create a spinoff with slightly other functions?
My Idea is that a USER (not a Social Group) has his own forum in his profile page.
Like a new Tab "Forum", or just on top of the profile messages. This in combination with a user blog will create a very interesting homepage for every user.
I hope this won't be too much work - from "no coders" view it looks very similar to socialforums. :)

thanks in advance,
Michael

Hey. Is it possible to create subforums of the SocialForums which aren't viewable for other members? I have vbAdvanced CMS and the new topics are displayed there too.

Phylanx,

A truly awesome MOD, the only thing I could use is a way to sticky or display order the social groups forums displayed on Forumhome. Ergo I want one of the group forums to always be at the top of the list.

Thanks in advance,

_V

Social Forums are normal forums. So their display order can be managed like that of other forums by using the forum manager. I just yesterday moved one of them up in the list.

Great Idea, but I think this violates the vBulletin License.

Change the permissions of the forum via AdminCP.

I'm sure I've asked this before but is the only option to have "Allow users to add Moderators and Administrators to their ignore list?" set to yes for regular members to be able to ignore social forum leaders(moderators.)

[More a failing of vb putting admin/mods together I think]

Yes punchbowl, you are right.

Doh! As soon as I find my brain I will go check there and make the changes. ;)

Thanks...

Hello everyone, I installed this product and applied the relevant permits.
But if I try to open a forum in my group, I get this text: "Invalid parent forum specified. Please check settings."
What should I do? Thank you :)

Hello everyone, sorry the bad English, but I am Italian! Yesterday I installed this product, and I am very happy ... But I have a problem. When a user creates a forum, and writes a post, I appears in this forum "father." Panel administrator of the product, I set "Should they be visible by default? If yes, the forum's display order is set to the value of the group id .--> NO". But I do not understand what I have to insert here: "Parent Forum
The forum where all created new social forums are attached to. "I can explain better please?:(

Al the social forums are subforums of another forum. This "another forum" is the parent forum you have to set.

For example if you would have forums like

General Discussion
Chitchat
Helpdesk

You create a forum after that called "Social Group Forums" (for example) and then set this new forum as the "parent forum". Then all the Social Forums become subforums of this "Social Group Forums".

So you get:

General Discussion
Chitchat
Helpdesk
Social Group Forums
Social Forum 1
Social Forum 2
etc

You can probably also set a forum of the type Category as the parent forum, but I haven't tried this yet.

Hope this helps.

Walrick

I can't find the option, how to change the permission for special social groups and special forums.

You can set every forum and category as parent, as long as it is manageable via AdminCP ;)

Check vBulletin's usergroup permissions

Mmmmh, what's the difference to a Socialforum? Instead of creating a hidden subforum per Socialgroup it woud be a hidden subforum per User, I don't think this would violate any part of the License?
Pleeeaaaasssseee :D:D:D:D

Although i created a parent forum and set it in the Admincp, i still can't convert discussions to threads :(

Few years ago there was a hack which allowed creation of forums. Jelsoft has banned it.

Are you getting an error?

No, the Threads just dont show up in the parent forum.

Strange. While you are converting, are the thread titles showing up?
