Dorm Manager System

What Dorm Manager System is:
-Creates forums based on your default dorms settings based on post count eligibility. The creator (leader) of the dorm is granted several powers, which only exist in the dorm manager system (there is no extra usergroup). These include regulating members who apply for membership to their dorm, creating threads when the default forum option is set to private, and regulating the existing threads of their dorm. This includes setting one of them as 'Public', which makes it accessible to the whole forums regardless of membership (guestroom). Leaders also can delete their dorm. Members can only exist in one dorm at a time, and everything is completely automated.

Requirements:
-(Optional) A specified parent dorm forum set up

Features:
Settings:
Dorm Name-- Dorm, Clan, Room, Floor etc
Guestroom Name-- Lobby, Guestroom, Closet etc
The Master Dorm Forum-- forum which all the dorm forums appear in
Postcount requirements to lead or join a dorm
Maximum members per dorm, maximum total dorms, maximum threads allowed per dorm
Options between name/numeric dorm name type, and limits on the sizes of both.
Standard forum settings--resembles the forum creation page in the admin cp, which all created forums recieve

-MANY more which I cannot remember!

Installation:
-Upload a few files, run a couple of them, a handful of file edits. Clean installation should take less than 10 minutes for the average admin. Complete instructions are inside the zip.

[ambrosious]

Works PERFECT, thanks!

Can I set a switch somewhere that will allow members to be active in more than one dorm?

Can I set a switch somewhere that will allow members to be active in more than one dorm?

That would be nice.

[ambrosious]

Anyone?

[Darkwaltz4]

making membership applicable globally would make this hack too much like vbhosting :-p however if you spend a few seconds looking at the code, you could remove the conditional which checks if someone is joined to a dorm. personally i believe removing this aspect would break down the hack anyway.

if you make your default forum settings to make the forum active, then anyone can post in it regardless of membership to it, and in either scenario, guestrooms are still free of membership restrictions.....so this feature isnt needed, its already there technically

[ambrosious]

Well, but, with this system, people get to create their own forums, which adds to the fun.

[ambrosious]

Or, maybe it don't add to the fun?

[Darkwaltz4]

oh um, i refer you to my original posted warning, i wont do anything to make this hack work along the lines of vbhosting, and giving that power to the users would make it such :-p sorry
