No support by the author.

This modification will allow you to setup a forum where members can post threads that only their buddies can see and participate in. This may be a good addition for social network type forums.

Features:
- Turns one forum into a Buddy Forum.
- Only members on the thread starter's buddy list can see or reply to the message.
- Prevents Users from Subscribing to Forums or Threads in Buddy List, which would allow them to bypass the buddy permissions.
- Displays "Private" and zeros post and reply count in forum view for Buddy Forum.
- Admin can configure usergroups that can see all messages for moderation purposes.

Prerequisites:

vBulletin 3.6.6 or newer

Installation Instructions:
- 1 XML upload

1. Use the Product Manager to import the product file product-rah_buddyforums_1_0_0.xml.
2. Setup a new forum. Configure it as follows:
- Set "Index New Posts in Search Engine" to No. (If you don't do this, then members will be able to see the contents of messages that they shouldn't)
- Set the forum permissions for non-moderator groups to NOT be able to search the forum.
3. Open the "Buddy Forums" option group in the vBulletin Options, and set the "Buddy Forum ID" to the forum ID you just created.


Revision Log:

1.0.0 - 08/29/07 - Initial Release

Known Bugs:

None.

I have 2 bugs to report: The thread titles show in both VB archive page and the VB news ticker mod. The buddy thread posts also show in the VB archive page - no more privacy unless archive is disabled!

With VB 3.8 coming in 2-3 months with more robust features for social networking, I guess this mod won't be needed anymore.

This is such a great idea! I think I'll install it.

Installed and working as planned. But is it possible to only let people that are friends, not the complete buddylist, see the threads?
