Eeek. I can't be sure, but I upgraded to 3.8.0 and social groups are now completely broken - no discussion capability at all.

There is no 3.8-ready version of SocialForums yet. I'm waiting for a more stable version.

Uhm, cannot confirm that. Are you using vB3.8?

It would be nice if the thread list appear in the social group page as well ...

That has already been requested, but it needs much work. I'm not sure if it worth it.

My site's last blog post was in August, for example.

To be honest I'm starting to regret using all the blogs and social networking stuff, it's ill thought out and cobbled together very badly, and now they are having to change it all round again which breaks all the custom fixes people put in to make it work properly - such as this excellent mod!

The *only* way forward for Jelsoft is to have social group discussion posts and blog entries/comments mixed into getdaily and getnew searches, with an additional column to show what each result is..."Forum Post", "Blog Post", "Social Group Post" etc. That's the ONLY way it will ever work properly. But that's not really for this thread.

That's true, but with 3.8 they are already trying to bundle it alltogether.

It's a new service I offer.

Have YOU got a thread that's bubbling along nicely that you would like stopped in its tracks? Then drop me a line....I'll post to it, and I guarantee it won't get any more replies, ever!

Haha :) I'll be breaking your service ;)

Thank you for a truly great mod!!

So you will be porting this to 3.8???
(There was an earlier post that implied (to me at least :D ) you would not.)

Couldn't this be done trivially with an rss feed?

:confused: Haven't seen anything from Jelsoft regarding bundled post/blog search results. Have you seen something official from them? Maybe their search engine rewrite will address this.

Again, thanks for your great effort.

ROFL Well you made me smile today :)

Newbie here! I was planning on upgrading to 3.8 when past beta mainly because of new blogging a social group features. I really want features like this on 3.8 for social groups! Should I just stick with 3.7 and use upload this social groups or wait until 3.8 comes out and it will be close to what this has to offer? I like the idea of groups having their own forums!!

I installed it, and got most everything working — except: users who want to create the forum can't see the option. I made it so all usergroups could do that in any social group they are in, and the option still isn't showing up on the bottom bar like it does for me, the admin. Help please!

Never mind about the previous post. I figured it out. The only person who can create the forum is the person who created the user group. And a user group needs to be created before a forum can be created.

Its all good and we're loving the mod!!!

I still would like to know if this mod is necessary if updating to 3.8?

Is there a lot of difference between the update Groups on 3.8 and this mod?
if so please list! Thanks for the help

I finally have this working with vb3.8
Everything worked fine except the links in group footer.
I've found that the Hook Location (group_view_message_start) no longer exists in vb3.8
When I changed the plugin hook location to (group_view_discussion_start), everything is fine.
I am assuming that the group_view_discussion_start Hook Location has replaced the group_view_message_start maybe?
