Hideaways

This extension lets you allow certain usergroups to create a private forum and an associated public usergroup. There are no queries to run, and you only need to change the parentid of the forums in hideaway.php before you upload it.

Access to the hideaway is denied to anybody except admins and the associated public user group.

The member who creates the forum becomes the usergroup leader and the forum moderator.

Users are responsible to advertise their own forum. No invite link is created. This is not automated. Users can either post an invitation to join their hideaway in some other forum on your site, or they can pm people to invite them. It's up to you on establishing the rules of hideaway promotion.

Users can edit their hideaway descriptions, but not the style or the forum title. The style can not be changed to ensure that we don't run into licensing issus. The title can not be changed because I use it to identify the forum for editing purposes.

The hideaway usergroups permissions are based on the registered user group's permissions. You can change what group their permissions are based off of within the code.

-----------------
FEATURES I WILL NOT ADD:
The ability for people to have more than one hideaway.
The ability for hideaway owners to create a new style for their forum.
The ability for hideaway owners to change the forum title.
The ability for hideaway owners to change any forum permissions.

-------------
This hack will always be free, however your donations are kindly accepted and will help towards further development. If you donate, please leave me some info (either your forum site or username at vB.org) so that I can thank you.

Actually i've hit a snag

I followed the instructions and when I try to edit the permissions for usergroups it spouts out the following mysql error:

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'hideawaypermissions' in 'field list'
Error Number : 1054

I love it. 8 installs and you're the first one to notice I forgot to put the query in the install file.

Run this query:

ALTER TABLE usergroup ADD hideawaypermissions INT( 10 ) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL

[aethro]

woo hoo! First one to notice somethin! :P Thanks that worked nicely!

[aethro]

COURSE after I speak lol

Invalid SQL:
INSERT INTO usergroup (title,usertitle,showinlist,ispublicgroup) VALUES ('PaulForum Group','Registered Member',0,1);

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'showinlist' in 'field list'
Error Number : 1054

Guess theirs more queries :P

[amykhar]

Hmm. That must be from an old hack? Let me go look at a couple of things. BRB.

For now, change that line to

$db->query_write("INSERT INTO ".TABLE_PREFIX."usergroup (title,usertitle,ispublicgroup) VALUES ('$title','$usertitle',$ispublicgroup)");

[aethro]

Yep that works thanks!

Ok, now i have the same issue as that second error you posted, but Amy says to change that line, what line is she referring to?

PHP Code:

$db->query_write("INSERT INTO ".TABLE_PREFIX."usergroup (title,usertitle,ispublicgroup) VALUES ('$title','$usertitle',$ispublicgroup)");
