vB Add Forum - Help me finish - beta 1

This hack is for vBullein 2.2.8 and is being built on a newly installed version of 2.2.8.

This hack is not ready to be installed home boards that have members it is still in the building stage beta 1.

Dev. See todo list for addition to be added.

Again I say this is not ready to be put on a member populated board it is still in development

When it is finshed it will allow members to create a forum in a cat. you determine.

Kinda like gamers.com but for vbulletin.


finished: 10-31-02
1. user can create a forum
2. only registered users can create forums
3. redirect back to index
4. integrated with vb with templates

still more todo!

ToDo List:
Todo:

1. Take some of the hidden input types from the createforum template and hardcore them into the insertforum.php script

2. Make script determine which user created the forum and insert them as the mod for that forum

3. Make script determine if user has created and forum. If they don't allow unless set in admin that you allow them
to create more then one forum. If user has not created a forum allow them too.

4 admin section of script to show which users have created a forum and the name

5. Hopefully we can make this , but it in not vital. Forum creator control panel section which allows them
to make other members mods of there forum and will allow them to delete mods they added. User the main creator added
cannot delete the main mod.

6. if we make the control or if we don't after creation of the forum send an email telling them how to access it control or that they have done it.

7. eithier access creator control panel from profile or separate link

8 . online locations

9. redirect ...we need to change it to only redirect if user creates a forum not all the time like when they click the link back to main forumhome

10. show in members list (maybe) who has created a forum.
this could be an opional addon

Please help me finish this hack...

Also if you complete any of the todo list please private message me the file named like this vBaddforum-beta1-change-date.zip
also please include a txt in the zip of things changed.

Big security whole with letting users do that. *steals your cookie information*

Also I have made a hack where users can have their own custom styles.

That allows mods to change styles and replacements, not add forums

ok i am stuck on the rest of this...if someone wants to take this and improve it or finish it or help that would be great

forums/insertforum.php needs to have a link or redirected to index.php

[chad777]

Hey,

I actually put it in the addvbforum.php...so would i just put

PHP Code:

eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("createaforum_redirect")."\",\"\$url\");"); 


in the insert forum and take it out of addvbforum.php ?

[assassingod]

8 . online locations
I think I could do that - not certain though
Could try adding:

PHP Code:

    case 'addvbforum':
      $userinfo[where] = "Creating new <a href=addvbforum.php'>Forum</a>";
      break; 


Right above:

PHP Code:

// Let's show the admin the location but put something false up for everyone else.. 


in online.php

I THINK, im not sure
btw, your redirect is in the wrong place, it goes to index.php in addvbforum.php, its meant to in insertforum.php

hey if you would like to help that would be great...

all i ask that if anyone helps out when they change something to make a change log and email me the zip file with the changed files etc.. so i can add it to the zip posted.

thanks all

I would help but im not great at PHP. Have you tried that online.php to see if it worked?

[chad777]

No I haven't tried it yet...I am trying to get the rest of the main part of the script done first

[assassingod]

Ah, ok Let me know if it works - ill see if I can help with anything else in the mean time
