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.

Quick question: Can members be allowed to join more than one dorm? If I make it public in the options, well that defeats the purpose of having the dorms. If I make it private, only one dorm is allowed per person, either to join or create.

Is there a way to make it so that members can join more than on dorm?

[Darkwaltz4]

members join more than one: no
public defeats purpose: not entirely, as people would still be able to 'belong' to their own selected group of friends
way to join more than one: no, THAT would defeat the purpose. you may as well just have regular forums then. if someone wants to post in not their dorm, they can just post in the public thread of that dorm. (or if they want to switch, they quit the first and join the new)

I'd like the threads to be private also... where only the dorm users and admins can see them. Any fix for this yet?

[Darkwaltz4]

alright, i think ill take this back up again, and add in the password system as well as fix up some stuff, and use my template installer (which is created) which i promised

cool.. thanks!

[Darkwaltz4]

wow, youre not going to believe this...but yeah, the version up there right now, is using the vb2 version templates o.o thats why theres 13 of them...

I apologize to anyone who used them, there should have been 9, and im positive thats where all the design errors came from.

When i post up the new version, it will have all of the correct templates, and installed with my installer, so upgrading to the correct versions will take seconds. Again, probably the biggest blunder ive made in haste >.<

Right now ive finished redesignig the files in vb coding standards, and organized things in a much better manner, so the next update with the password thing should be up by hopefully tomorrow.
