Social Group and Album Enhancements - New Social Groups page layout

A template edit for the Social Groups page to look more like the Profile page.

version 1.2 - 2009-02-07
Fixed some issues with the conditions being inside the div tags instead of outside. Searching discussions should now give you a full size table listing instead of the 'short' table. (And yeah, I skipped version 1.1 just cuz I felt like it!)

version 1.3 - 2009-02-12
Added View Pictures and Add Pictures at bottom of Pictures Box (thanks Theater!) and fixed issue with centering pictures in Social Groups causing pictures to display vertically in the Group Pictures page.

version 1.3.1 - 2009-02-12
Fixed a condition around an end div tag.

version 1.3.2 - 2009-03-07
Fixed a condition around the Add Pictures link.

1. Open the socialgroups_css template and FIND the following lines at the end:

-->
</style>

Add the following lines ABOVE those lines:

#content_container {
    width:100%;
    float:left;
    margin-right:-256px;
}
#content {
    margin-right:256px;
}
#sidebar_container {
    width:250px;
    float:right;
}
.content_block {
    margin-bottom:6px;
    padding:1px;
}
.content_block .block_row {
    padding:6px;
    margin:1px 0px 0px 0px;
}
.content_block .block_title {
    padding:6px;
    margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;
}
.content_block h4.thead, .content_block .block_title {
    padding:4px;
    margin:1px 0px 0px 0px;
}
.content_block .block_footer {
    text-align:right;
    padding:4px;
    margin:1px 0px 0px 0px;
}

Suggested change to this CSS if you use vBSEO is in the text file and in this post. It was suggested by Vitaly, however since I don't use vBSEO, I have no comment regarding it.


2. REPLACE your socialgroups_group template with the following:

** see text file.  The template contents are too long. **

How can I increase the number of discussions on the group page.

It's an option in vboptions > social group options

Thanks.

Anyone know how to make the full members list show in 3 columns - like you have in "Contacts and Friends"? See attached

You would have to modify the code for that. It's under do=viewmembers. You might be able to use the group_memberbit hook. You would probably also have to modify the templates used - memberinfo_small and socialgroups_memberlist. You may be able to just change it so the members are in a div and give the div a width and let them space themselves in the table column. You'd have to play around with it.

Anyone know why i cant see anything in the text file for "socialgroups_group"
I save it to my PC, then extract, but then it opens and there is nothing there..?


*edit*
Nvrmnd, i got it.

I have a question.. I'm not sure if this mod caused it or not, i think the issue might have been there prior, but i'll ask anyway.

On the profile where it lists a persons social groups that they belong to, it only shows a dash like this

User-Created Social Groups: (6)
-
-
-
-
-
-

No text links to the actual groups...? (but the dash is a link still.!?)

Any thoughts or ideas.?
Thanks

You can always see if it was this mod by just reverting your template. But, no, this mod is a template mod and only touches the groups.php page. The template that spits out that group list is memberinfo_block_groups.

I know this isn't about this mod, but any idea what might be causing it..?

<if condition="$block_data['membergroupcount']">
	<div class="alt1 smallfont block_row">
		<span class="group_count">($block_data[membergroupcount])</span> $vbphrase[public_usergroups]:
		<ul class="list_no_decoration group_list" id="public_usergroup_list">
			$block_data[membergroupbits]
		</ul>
	</div>
</if>
<if condition="$block_data['socialgroupcount']">
	<div class="alt1 smallfont block_row">
					<span class="group_count">($block_data[socialgroupcount])</span> $vbphrase[user_created_social_groups]:
		<ul class="list_no_decoration group_list" id="social_group_list">
			$block_data[socialgroupbits]
		</ul>
	</div>
</if>
<if condition="!$block_data['membergroupcount'] AND !$block_data['socialgroupcount']">
	<div class="alt1 smallfont block_row">$vbphrase[you_not_member_any_groups]</div>
</if>
<if condition="$block_data['show_join_link']">
	<div class="alt2 smallfont block_row block_footer"><a href="group.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[join_social_groups]</a></div>
</if>

You can delete this & PM me if that is better.

Thanks in advance.

You should post for help with that issue in the main forums, not in this thread.

Just installed this and it looks great. Can we add polls in social groups?
