LOL, ok I don't know how to do that and I couldn't find it in a search so I'll wait for the privacy settings to be installed. I can wait a couple of weeks. Thanks again for all of your help.

Whenever a group owner tries to edit anything about their group they get an "Invalid Title Specified" message. Anybody else experiencing this? I uninstalled the plugin and it was working again, not sure what's causing this though.

This modification will try to change the title of the forum if someone changed the title of the group. What was the title of the group?

Nobody is trying to change the title. They are trying to turn off the Group Messages but when they click "Save" they get a "Invalid Title Specified" error. They don't have access to change the title (as they are not moderators) so their is no way around it. :(

this posible create forum private ??

It's in the works according to this thread.

Will be fixed in next version.

ok Good !!++

any ETA on when the permission will be fixed on weather its a invite-only/moderated or public forum.. as it should be addressed already?

regards

Already posted that I'm currently busy with other (paid) hacks.

ah i see. well if thats the case

Yep, what's the point of having private Social Forums if anyone can see and post in them..... this MUST be addressed.

Yeah it's a shame, this almost fixed the problem of the social groups, and now it's been abandoned just when it was going to get good!

Hopefully someone else will pick up on it.

This hack is NOT abandoned, it will continue just 1-2 Weeks. But CURRENTLY I'm busy with other stuff.

No, also with this version only members of the group can post in it. Also, why don't you set the visibility to 0?

I was able to post in the forum of a private group without being a member of it, that's why I brought it up.
We tested it dozens of times just to make sure.

Even if I don't belong to a private group I can view messages and/or post to the forum.

Don't get me wrong, this is an EXCELLENT product. I just think it's not complete yet is all....

When I set this product up I disabled the regular group guestbooks. However I decided to disable the product later, since I don't think the forum integrates as well with the group as the guestbook did.

Now when SocialForums is disabled again, and the option to disable guestbooks are set to no again, the guestbooks still doesn't appear! How do I get my guestbooks back?

You will have to manually edit each social group. Just check the box that says, "Enable Messaging".

Baldilocks, i don't have that problem, i can't post in a group unless i am a member, however anyone can view them adn see then in New Posts/

I just had 3 threads disappear from the social forum. I didn't delete them and the only other moderator didn't delete them. I checked the moderator's logs and there is no record of them being deleted and in fact, some of the deleted posts I had edited and I can click on that and read the threads but they're not in the forum. I even tried looking for them thru the poster and they're not showing up as ever have been posted.

Does anyone have any ideas on what happened and how I can fix this?

Whow, installation was easier than easy, no Problems yet.
I will activate it in the productive Forum this weekend, can't wait so see the Users go crazy :-)
Amazing hack, this gives vB a bit the touch of Orkut.

WELL DONE!!!

This is not a behavior of SocialForums - this hack creates just normal standard forums. If you can click on the thread, you can see also it's location in the navbar. Maybe someone has moved it?

OK, I was just coming on here to comment. Apparently some people can see the missing threads and some can't. I am the moderator and admin, I should be able to see everything. I've logged on as someone else and as a guest using safari and firefox and I still can't see the missing threads yet someone else could see them. I can't figure out what the heck is happening. It's only happening in the social group forum though. Should I post this question somewhere else?

As I already said, a social forum is just a standard forum. Check permission for this forum.

Thanks Phalynx, you were right, the setting for some reason on that forum was set to show only the last 2 days. I didn't even know we had that function.

Thanks for your MOD.

I installed and setting for parent forum.
I get this error message when I created forum.

How can I fix?
Thanks.

I uploa this mod and it doesn't seem to be working

I am running vb 3.7.0 beta 3

When I uploaded the product i got confirmation that the upload was succesful.
When i checked my template (vb classic blue) there are 2 new templates in the social group section.

One is socialgroups_create_forum with the code:

</li><li class="smallfont"><a href="group.php?$session[sessionurl]do=createforum&amp;groupid=$group[groupid]">$vbphrase[sf_create_forum]</a>

The other is socialgroups_linkto_forum with the code

<div id="group_creator" class="smallfont"><phrase 1="$group[forumid]">$vbphrase[sf_linkto_forum]</phrase></div>


There are no other changes that i can see in any of the other templates (i.e. socialgroups_group)

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the mod.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. this mod is exactly what i need

Why're you running Beta 3? 3.7 is already out.

How exactly do the group leaders get permissions to moderate their forums? Does it put them into my regular moderator usergroup? is it some custom method?

What exactly does not work? This mod does not modificate the vBulletin templates in the database.

It just add's the group leader as an moderator to the created forum.

can u make it that only the people in that usergroup view that forum? I can't figure that out...

How far away is the feature that will allow private groups to have private social forums?

It's coming soon.

Good! :) Because this is probably one of THE best ideas for 3.7.x

i'm agree , a 'simple' mod for a great idea

Will the forum section of a social group be more visible too? As it is now it's easy to miss out the feature. I think the best would be if the forum either was integrated in the group page, or if there was a feed consisting of the latest posts on the group page.

Beautiful Mod. I like the interface very much. 3 Cheers to the coder :)

Please make a new update!

I just went ahead and opened this for some members to move their old clubs over but after creating the forum they cannot see the Create Forum link. I set the minimu users needed to 1 and I can see it but they, as group leaders cannot.

Any ideas what I screwed up? :)

thanks,
