Social Group and Album Enhancements - Social Group (Sub-)Forum List

Description
This mod will integrate social groups into the regular forum home layout in a very clear way, by displaying social groups like sub-forums to the group categories, which act like parent forums. It will improve the social group presence on your board, and will make groups much more visible and so more active. Unlike similar mods it allows to include a large number of social groups in forum home without filling much space.

Groups with new messages will be marked with an icon, just like regular sub-forums are. Additionally it adds the newest created group to the bottom of the list.

Via the adminCP you can exclude specific group categories and also single groups from the list, and you can change the display order of the categories. The list of groups in each category can be sorted either alphabetically, by number of members or by number of discussions, the number of groups displayed can be limited.

Installation
1) Upload all the files to your vbulletin installtion.
2) Import the product via AdminCP.
3) Open FORUMHOME template and add $fhgrouplist.

Notes
This mod wasn't programmed by me, but by two programmers I hired here on vb.org. I'm releasing it here for free under General Public License. Donations welcomed to compensate some of the costs I had.

This mod won't be developed any further by me, and the technical support I can provide is limited. Any interested developer is free to resume work on this mod (PM me).

if you're receiving an error, its because you HAVE NOT created any social groups.

"Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/index.php(594) : eval()'d code on line 82"

Note that this seems to add one query for every social group you have.....not an efficient way of doing it and likely to be way too much for any board where groups are actually used a lot. Had to uninstall on that basis.

That would be 121 extra queries, plus 1 more for every new group created from now on. This doesnt sound viable to me. Really too bad.

However, there is the possibility of creating "sub categories for social groups?
I created a closed group with a market, and I would like the discussions are divided into subcategories (eg auction, exchange, sell, etc. ....).
There is this possibility?
Otherwise you know tell me if there is a product compatible with 3.8.4?
Thank you all.
