It seems the converter has step over an error in an posting. There is no option to clean this.

I have removed and reinstalled your mod - now there are nothing in "Convert Discussions to Threads"

Is there a SQL query that will clear the cache so the program will conduct a fresh search for social discussions?

OMFG i love this, Great work :) Defo Using

thanks for this Great work but
some Groups are not moved by all the discussions and has not been transferred to the threads whatever topics that are sometimes large and sometimes they are small

Tried to repeat the process but every time there is no result

Is there a solution؟

This can occur if there is an error transfering posts. I don't know a solution for this.

When I click the "Create forum" link I have the message (with redirect) Cannot create forum!
... but the forum is making!
I have set the usergroup permissions normally.
What's wrong?

Sorry for my bad english

This means that the script cannot create a subforum in the given parent forum.

I have a problem/question.
When I convert the discussions of a social group to a forum with threads, If I delete the created forum then , I haven't the option to re-make it :(
I want to have the option to re-convert the discussions of a group to a forum with threads IF the corresponding forum there isn't anymore.


Thanks and sorry for my bad english, I hope you understand.

You need to update that manually:

XXX=New Forum, set to 0 to reset
YYY=GroupID

i love this addon.. witch is was able for vb4 also :S

any update news?

There will be no vB4 Version, as my time does not allow it.

Thanks for your MOD.

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

A required field called allowupdate is missing or has an invalid value.

How can I fix?
Thanks.

Fixed!!

The problem caused by conflict with 'Send Update Pm/Mail' mod.

I have now upgraded to the lastest version of vBulletin Publishing Suite. What I cannot do now is post in the actual Groups - I have to go to the appropriate group forum and post there. Can someone tell me:

the safest way to remove this mod. Is it safe for me to try and run the ACP uninstaller or will that crash the forum?

If I remove the mod what happens to the sub forum groups it created?

Thanks

Thanks

Hi there!

That's so damn sad you could not port this hack to VB4 really. This is one of the most usefull hack I know...

Even if I'm not a coder, could you write us some advices, guidelines to make it works with VB4 ?

Some suggestions for this mod (don't require big changes, but would improve performance and cohesion):

(1) add social group id & category to forumdata (bitfield) during social forum creation*
(2) honor the forum's thread icon settings within the social group thread display
(3) change navbits within social forums so that they match those of the regular discussions, allowing for easy navigation

*(1) would eliminate the need to query the database in the forumdisplay_start hook and would also let you do (3) without additional queries

If I find some extra time to implement these features, I'm willing to post them here. However, I can't exactly use my live board as a sandbox, and don't have a test environment handy at the moment, so hopefully you can get to them before I do :)

thx bro for sharing with us

When I try to use this on vB 3.8.4, the forum is moved (although there's a "can't move forum" message), but no discussions are moved. Why is that?

Eeep, I did this and it made a forum, but ALL the messages and disccussons are gone...

Hilfe@

dammit. i just created empty forums with mo discusions and no way to move them. this kinda blows.

They are not gone, they are just hidden. Edit the settings of your group and enable messaging again.

Actually, no.

In one case, it simply deleted all the messages.

In another, it created a forum on the main part of the board, but did not move any of the messages.

I think I just misunderstand what this is supposed to do.

Thanks though

This mod does not delete any social group discussion.

good day. i seem to have lost the forum. they are not being displayed in the category where they're supposed to be. i see them in Admin CP but they're not on their main page. what could be the problem?

Check if the forum is defined as visible. Normally it is not.

Anyone know of anything similar to this for vB4? I currently use it on 3.8, but want to upgrade (finally) to 4.

I am using SocialForums, obviously, and I also use the selective forum filter mod
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=132279 - my problem is that I can't get the social forums to show up in the list of forums to be excluded. I have run the back end php query that is supposed to make all your forums be excludable, and it still didn't affect the social forums. this was the query:

To enable "can be excluded" in all forums, run this query:
UPDATE PFXforum SET excludable = 1
To disable "can be excluded" in all forums, run this query:
UPDATE PFXforum SET excludable = 0
In both cases, PFX must be replaced with the actual table prefix that you have defined in config.php.
If you have not defined a prefix, remove PFX from the queries.
After you run either one of these queries, you must then open and save any one forum for the forum cache to be updated.


I have no table prefix for my tables, so i removed the PFX and ran it plain. Does the social forums mod add any special table prefix to the tables it creates?

Any other ideas as to why they won't show up and allow themselves to be excluded? The groups are a combination of public and private groups.

I simply can not get this to work perfectly. It imports some discussions and messages but for some reason leaves a lot more behind. We have some discussions with over 15,000 messages. Is this a problem?

What if you were paid for your time? Name how much it would take.

If you are willing to pay, try finding a developer on oDesk. I found someone there who updated the mod for vb4 and it works perfectly.

I just have installed the file from above, but it shows version 2.0 and not 2.1.
This means i have an older version, then the file here is old
or there was no change of the value in version 2.1.

The way that Vb manage the social-groups is really a shame.
Now we are in 2016 and those problems are still there. :down:

This is a good solution.

Yes Eddie but this is for the 3.8 Version. :(

Sorry, I assumed you were using 3.8, since you posted in a 3.8 modification thread.
Here is a similar one for vb4 https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ghlight=Social

Great Eddie, many thanks. :)
