Hideaways
 

This extension lets you allow certain usergroups to create a private forum and an associated public usergroup. There are no queries to run, and you only need to change the parentid of the forums in hideaway.php before you upload it.

Access to the hideaway is denied to anybody except admins and the associated public user group.

The member who creates the forum becomes the usergroup leader and the forum moderator.

Users are responsible to advertise their own forum. No invite link is created. This is not automated. Users can either post an invitation to join their hideaway in some other forum on your site, or they can pm people to invite them. It's up to you on establishing the rules of hideaway promotion.

Users can edit their hideaway descriptions, but not the style or the forum title. The style can not be changed to ensure that we don't run into licensing issus. The title can not be changed because I use it to identify the forum for editing purposes.

The hideaway usergroups permissions are based on the registered user group's permissions. You can change what group their permissions are based off of within the code.

-----------------
FEATURES I WILL NOT ADD:
The ability for people to have more than one hideaway.
The ability for hideaway owners to create a new style for their forum.
The ability for hideaway owners to change the forum title.
The ability for hideaway owners to change any forum permissions.

-------------
This hack will always be free, however your donations are kindly accepted and will help towards further development. If you donate, please leave me some info (either your forum site or username at vB.org) so that I can thank you. :)

Looks like another great addon amy, I'll be testing it on my local. Thanks for the work :)

Oh man! This could be exactly what I am looking for in order to let people create 'Private Events' that they then invite people to...

I wonder if it can be applied to the calendar...

Holy crap, Amy this is exactly one of the features I was wanting. *Prepares to install*

Sounds to me like the old advanced Superforum hack which was really great but banned from Jelsoft.

The author got much trouble and was not allowed to work on it anymore.

I do not hope that this hack allows some kind of hosting cause then this is against Jelsofts copyright.

I want to see a hack like this and hope that no one will ban this one also :tired:

Great hack amy :)

It's different in a few key ways, and I discussed the mod with Jelsoft staff before I wrote it and go the green light.

Amy

I think you've posted in the wrong thread Brinnie. What you've posted has nothing to do with allowing users to create private forums. Also, I can tell from your postbit in this thread that you haven't clicked the install button; so I must assume you don't have this mod installed on your site.

oh this is exactly what I needed for my forums, great hack :D

Glad you like it :)
