Here are the details: I was trying to figure out how I can allow a registered user to add a new "Forum Topic" in my implementation of vBulletin. What I saw was one can add Forums through the Admin Control Panel and mark them either as Categories or Forums. My requirement was, under special situations, I would like registered users to add a Forum Topic, and the admin will then approve the forum to be active. After some study of the documentation and admin code, i was able to figure out how to achieve that using "Datamanager". The code I have posted earlier does what I wanted. Is this the correct approach? This is similar to adding a User using "Datamanager" as given in one of the examples. I was worried when you mentioned Quote:

As long as it will not allow members to create their own forums and make them look/access them like a standalone board, you will not be breaking the license agreement. Otherwise yes.

Thanks your reply...
Do you mean "standalone forum" as in a separate implementation of vBulletin software?... that isn't the intention. These will be part of one single implementation and each of the forum topics will have to be approved by the Admin. The Admin might choose to appoint the user who created the forum as its Moderator. I hope thats in line with the agreement. |
Just wanted to say thanks, Live Wire. Your tut was just what I needed and really helped cutting down on time I probably would have needed without it. Very helpful indeed!

FYI, if anyone is interested in a hack that makes it easy to add custom forum permissions (which match up with a set of custom usergroup permissions), check out my hack at:Custom Usergroup Forum Permissions
Livewire, this thread was very useful to me. I'm hoping to incorporate custom forum options into my hack as well, which will provide the ultimate in permissioning... custom forum permissions-> custom usergroup permissions -> custom forum permissions. |
Glad you found this turorial useful :)

I am having some trouble with this.
I have done everything to-the-letter, but the custom option (which is the [you] hack) is still being allowed across the board. Is this a function of the [you] hack, or is there something I am missing in these instructions? I seem to only be able to turn the [you] hack on/off by changing the php code here (from 1 to 0) (this is how I have the [you] hack configured on my site after following the instructions) PHP Code:
here is what I used in the forumadmin_edit_forum hook: PHP Code:

Why you want to use a input_row for a yes/no value?
