Diaries/Owned Forums

Hi There!
Original from Andrew111888
German Version avaiable her: http://www.vbhacks-germany.com/forum...ead.php?t=2357

What this hack does
This hack will allow your members to create 'diaries' (the term my site uses)--forums that are "owned" by a member or group of members. The owner(s) will be able to add and delete other owners to their diary, and modify the title/description of their diary.


How it works
When a user would like to create a diary, they will visit /forumdir/diarycp.php and submit their application (username and description of their desired diary). To prevent abuse, the application will be moved to /forumdir/queue.php. An administrator can either deny or confirm the application. If denied, the application is removed from the diary_queue table. If it is confirmed, it is removed from the diary_queue table and created as a new forum.
For nearly all of this functions I use the build-In Class System to prevent Errors and use the Internal Error-Handling.
The file located at /forumdir/diarycp.php will include the statistics of an owner's diary(s), including post count, thread count, latest post, forum name, as well as the 'Edit Diary', 'Add Owner', and 'Delete Owner' functions.

AdminCP
In this brand New Version you can modify the possible Settings for the New Forums and the Moderator-Settings in the ACP in the vBulletin Options.
Attention: This Settings has only effect for new created Forums and/or Moderators/Owners.

You can Give each Usergroup additional Rights to see the DiaryCP, to create/edit Diaries and to Administrate Diaries.

Hi, I have a problem. I have installed all correctly, but when I go www.mysite/forum/diary.php show message:
mondoforum, non hai i permessi per accedere a questa pagina. Questo pu? essere dovuto a vari motivi:

Il tuo account potrebbe non avere sufficienti privilegi per accedere a questa pagina. Stai provando a modificare il messaggio di qualcun altro, accedere a caratteristiche amministrative o a qualche altro sistema riservato?
Se stai provando a scrivere un messaggio l'amministratore potrebbe aver disabilitato il tuo account o questo potrebbe essere in attesa di attivazione.

I'am administrator....:| It is impossible...:S

P.S. I'am Italian...

Anyone with a solution to this problem?

Seems like I'm getting this due to having a ' in the title of the diary I was trying to create ..

Is this something that can be fixed? as I'm sure you'll get a lot of people wanting to call their diarys after their names ..

ie "Slave's Diary" etc ,..

i would fo liked this better if it was through the groups system. so users could create groups and then other users could join the groups and discuss what ever the group is about

there are other hacks for this,.. i think this actual version have a purpose, i prefer it that way...

many sites for parenting would be very interested to have this, per example... so each family have it's own forum to display photos, etc...

maybe a password thingy to the forum manager for the users side would be good if not included... - did not install it yet! -

Some Problems fixed.
I've uploaded a new ZIP-File. just replace your diarycp.php and queue.php Files.

The Password thingy: You can set in the Settings if the created Forums can have a Password, and the Moderator-Rights to "change Password". So the internal Forum-System can be used for this.

good then... Hoffi.

if you can update your first post with the updated data, this would help.. and have a version number on the file too...

thanks!

Where Is one thats full proof solution.

only one i know of is amy's Hideways hack which isnt updated for 3.51

and that only allows one hideaway per user . so not even admins can create multible hideways.

and then the only thing besides that is for 3.07 unless you know something i dont ?

[Holidazed]

Hoffi, this looks awesome.

Question: In the "ACP|vBulletin Options|Diary control Panel - Moderator Options" area, there is a reference to the "Can see FPF" for the FPF hack. What is this hack?

Also, in the "ACP|vBulletin Options|Diary control Panel - Forum Options" area, there is a reference to a "Show Signature" hack by Hoffi. What is this hack?

[Andrew111888]

I'm sure Hoffi will fix all the bugs sooner or later (mine started out with a ton of bugs, too).

I still have an unfinished port of this on my computer but I don't really have the time to finish it so I figured a little hurt pride isn't worth more than the community enjoying the hack.

The ZIP is updated. Sorry, I forgot to increase the Versionsumber.

The FPF Hack is still in Development. With that Hack Moderators cann create for their Forums (if the Forum allows that) to Create Profile-Fields only for the one special forum. Forum-Profile-Fields. Short: FPF. These Fields shown up in the Postbit only in the special Forum. This is a really new Feature I need for my Roleplaying Game Forum.

This is a really small PlugIn I released here.. You can turn off the Signature per Forum.
