I installed the Mod and when i clicked "Create Forum" got the exact same error as described above by Reeve:

Invalid Forum Specified.

I am using 3.7 beta 5 version and can you tell me how to disable the default message board.

Thanks

Surely at least this:

Social group forums are hidden from everyone except those that are part of the social group

No? And perhaps when someone not in the social group will not be allowed access if they're not in the group.

They can be hide, but for everyone. Direct access only for members of the group. But if someone knows the exact URL of the forum he gain's access.

Nope I did not modified socialgroups_group. I have more than 2 members in my group so this should not be a problem at all. Just I need to have the template edit on themes aside from the vb default theme (if any)

Please PM me login details as Admin to your site. I need also query permission.

If you get a "Invalid Forum Specified" you should check parent forum setting in AdminCP/Settings/SocialForums

That's my only qualm really otherwise now it's just what I needed. Isn't it possible to use an if statement to check whether the user is part of the group or not? Ir not then give them a permission denied screen?

They are several ways of accessing a forum or a particular thread. To catch all this locations would be very intensive.

Suggestions:

1. Group Leader can set new moderators for group forum.

2. If I see a "group forum" new posts on "today topics" and click that forum without being a member, it will notify me and ask me to join the group.

Could there be an option to still allow messages to be made in the social group as well as in the social group's forum? And can "Allow HTML" be set as 'diasbled' upon creation of a social group's forum?

That would not be part of this modification.

Nice idea, let's see for next version.

That's I didn't see, it will be changed in next version.

I am eager to get 3.7 installed on my board just to have this hack - THIS is how social groups and vb are meant to play together - nice nice work - thank you so much!
