Social Group (Sub-)Forum List
 

Description
This mod will integrate social groups into the regular forum home layout in a very clear way, by displaying social groups like sub-forums to the group categories, which act like parent forums. It will improve the social group presence on your board, and will make groups much more visible and so more active. Unlike similar mods it allows to include a large number of social groups in forum home without filling much space.

Groups with new messages will be marked with an icon, just like regular sub-forums are. Additionally it adds the newest created group to the bottom of the list.

Via the adminCP you can exclude specific group categories and also single groups from the list, and you can change the display order of the categories. The list of groups in each category can be sorted either alphabetically, by number of members or by number of discussions, the number of groups displayed can be limited.

Installation
1) Upload all the files to your vbulletin installtion.
2) Import the product via AdminCP.
3) Open FORUMHOME template and add $fhgrouplist.

Notes
This mod wasn't programmed by me, but by two programmers I hired here on vb.org. I'm releasing it here for free under General Public License. Donations welcomed to compensate some of the costs I had.

This mod won't be developed any further by me, and the technical support I can provide is limited. Any interested developer is free to resume work on this mod (PM me).

Nice work, thank you!

great work

installed :)

where exactly add $fhgrouplist in FORUMHOME ?

also i have this problem maybe from the files of the mod

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in C:\AppServ\www\vb\index.php(592) : eval()'d code on line 13

If you want the list to show above the forums,
Find:
add $fhgrouplist below.

If you want the table to show under the forums,
Find:
add $fhgrouplist below.

The PHP error message should disappear as soon as you have added $fhgrouplist to forumhome.

It didn't disappear on my forum. Is it because I have empty categories (with no groups inside)?

very thank you :D

Yep, that might be the reason.

But as I already mentioned in the mod notes, I can provide only very limited support since I'm not the coder of the mod. Maybe some coder here is able to provide the code to fix this.

yeah it's true

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in C:\AppServ\www\vb\index.php(592) : eval()'d code on line 37


i think is from the files maybe !

One of the files (functions_grouplist.php maybe? I can't remember) has the wrong permissions as downloaded. You need to change it from 600 to 755 (or whatever works in that folder).

hmmmm very interesting, seems to do be doing what I was looking for :O great job
Installed ^^
