If you have modified the templates, you'll have to implement a change. Sorry, I forgot to mention this in the upgrade notification, I'll do that now. If you only imported the product and did not change your forumhome_cel_social_groups_groupsbit template, this is done automatically,

In forumhome_cel_social_groups_groupsbit find
replace with
Please note: It will no longer be possible to use .gif or .png on a per style basis, since I can't keep the icon extension variable in the template (this collides with bug concerning icons stored in the file system). You'll have to choose either png or gif for all your styles. As a workaround you always can convert the few icons needed for new or old groups.

Your right :o, sorry 'bout that!

Updated the zip file.

Thanks I will have to update my board. Not getting around that. ;)

I installed it without any errors at all, installed like a charm. I then added the template edit, and saved it. Nothing happened.

Ideas?

You either did something wrong or you use a highly customized style? There's really no way for us to say what's causing this on your end without any information and even knowing your site address.

Any chance this mod will work with 3.7.4?

So: No.

Sorry for my englisch. It is not my best friend.

I have a little problem in the presentation of the Social Group description.

The correct one

but on Forumhome the AddOn show's me

Hi.
Great Mod.
A few things.

Firstly, how would I change the text which appears on forum index? I want to new messages in Social Groups, and the text Social Groups above that.

Thanks.
Adam

Just like you would do for forums. It mimicks forumdisplay and can be changed just in the same way. That's why it's templated.

Love the mod have it installed. Would be even better if the icons indicating new posts also worked on cookies.

Thank you for this!

Hi mate

Ive jsut added the code to get it to show and there is like a <br /> break above the box and not one after ehich on my forum there needs to be and i cant fine the template to check

I have category spacing on my forum. How would I go about altering your template to tie in with this?

Very good job, I use it. Thx :)

Template forumhome_cel_social_groups.

Hint: If you want to find out which template exactly you have to look at if you're trying to find out something like this:
AdminCP->General Settings->Add Template Name in HTML Comments->Yes

Along the same way you altered the forums. Since I don't know how you did that, I really can't comment. But the templating of this mod follows the same lines as the forums listing.

Omg thanks for that hint and for telling me the template :up:
And ive fixed it up thanks bro

nominated love all the social group mods :D

Thanks I worked out the category spacing pretty easily actually. :)

Changed my skins over mate and ive lost this on all my skins

also the Is on every skin yet its still not showing mate :confused:

Well, if it worked before there's nothing I can say than it has to be an issue with your styles - as long as you sure you have not deactivated the mod or any of it's components. And, of course, make sure the needed templates are present in your styles.

I'm happy to announce that this mod has been succesfully (I hope ;)) ported to vB4 beta 3. It was the first one I tried when I layed hands on alpha 1, and now I polished it for the public beta. Hope some of you find it still useful with vB4, forum and/or suite.

If you're using this mod, you may also be interested in my new one: It shows a notification if there are new messages in discussions:

Is there a way to make this compatible with this mod:

Or could someone enlighten me if vBulletin 4.0 Gold will have Social Groups using the normal forum layout (i.e Signatures, postbits, messages showing in latest posts) etc ?

I don't use that mod, so I don't know how it works. If you want to look at the groups in vB4, then just go to http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/groups.php

OK, what about changing this part of the template:
forumhome_cel_social_groups_lastmsgby

so it contains a link to the group rather than displaying the thread and last psot by?
I'm not very good with coding so any help or pointers would be most appreciated :)

I can't get it to show up. I have it activated in the vbulletin-settings. I use it inside vBadvanced CMPS, as module called "social groups last messages", calling a template containing "$cel_social_groups".

What shall I do to get it activated?

I use vbulletin 3.8.4 patch 2.

I do not use vBA and thus really have no idea what is needed to make things work with that.

It works at "forumhome" I notice now. But I want it to appear on a diffrent page than "forumhome", how can I do this?

When I place it elsewhere it doesn't show anything.

It may work if you change the hook of the main plugin to a hook that is executed wherever you want to show it. I would advaise against a hook that is executed everywhere, since that may add strain to the server.

Thanx for the tips . I changed hook in:

"fetch template" - hook to - "global_start"
"forumhome code" - hook to - "global_start"

Still it gives no output. Any ideas?

You must not change the hook for fetch_template. That needs to stay there. As I said, I still do not think it's a good idea to execute this mod with every single pageload of the forum, but that's for you to decide. As I said, I can not help you with vBA. You should probably ask at their place for help with this.

How difficult would it be to have it show all the social group categories and social groups as sub forums irrespective of who was logged in? I.e it shows all of them?

That would be a different modification.

Cel hi, thanks installed but why guests can't see that add-on? How I can permission that for guests?

Because guests can't join social groups or subscribe to them. There's nothing to show.

Brother, "because guests cant view the arguments and cant join" you said. But in my site, groups.php is free to view for guests. Guests can't write a comment but they can view it. and btw i editted your plug-in. I removed that comment and other buttons. Means groups have to be seen there but they don't. Guests cannot view it and i think it's absurd...

Now, here is the demos :

Guests :

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/02/37.png

Would you be so kind and read the modifications description?

This mod shows groups a user is a member of or is subscribed to. That's explained right in the first sentence. It does not show all groups. Since guests can not join groups (this has nothing to do with reading!) and can not subscribe to groups, there is nothing to show. If you do not like how this mod works, I suggest you don't use it.

Your third screenshot shows an admincp area for editing, yet I cannot find it in my admincp. Where is it?

In addition, where do I make the default font size for social groups larger?

AdminCP->Settings->Options. It has it's own standard options group, usually somewhere at the end of the list. Changing the font size in social groups has nothing to do with this mod, please open your own thread for this.

Thanks.
