SocialForums for vBulletin 3.8
Created by Marius Czyz aka Phalynx. This mod will work *ONLY* with vBulletin 3.8 or higher. It will not run on vBulletin 3.7. Please use the version for vBulletin 3.7 Support will be only given for people who clicked Mark as INSTALLED. Description Not satisfied with vBulletin social groups messaging function? With SocialForums your social group leaders can create a standard forum for their group. A group leader can only create a forum if the group has at least 5 members - this can be changed via settings. Optionally the group leader can be a moderator of such a social forum. What about old discussions? Via AdminCP, SocialForums, you can transfer all discussions and messages to a new forum. No post would be lost. Permissions There are advanced permissions (Forum and Archive). This includes read/write public and private (moderated/invite only) socialforums and creation of forum. As this needs two additional queries on every page you can disable this. Demo None, see screenshots Installation This product is fully phrased and uses template hooks. No file changes or manual template edits needed. 1. Upload bitfield_socialforums.xml to existing folder /includes/xml/ 2. Upload functions_socialforums.php to existing folder /includes/ 3. Fresh Installation: Just import the product. Upgrade: Import the product, allow overwrite. No forums get lost! 4. Check settings, especially for parent forum. Don't forget to set permissions via usergroups! Troubleshooting Q: I don't see a link to create a forum. Why? A: Check permissions for the usergroup, espacially if the user is allowed to create forum. A: Check if the usergroup meet min users requirement, see AdminCP/Settings/SocialForums. Q: My users see the forums, but they shouldn't! A: Check permissions for the usergroup, if the users usergroup is set to "can see". A: Did you disabled the restriction mode? Enable it. Todo - By deleting a group the forum should also be deleted/archived. Currently this has to be done manually. Known Issues - On big boards with hundreds of social groups this mod can really impact the performance because of the mass of new created forums. If you still want to use this mod use the "Minimum Members" feature with a higher value. Using the permission check there are additional two queries on every page. - With activated option to add owner as a moderator the transfering leads to removing all moderators of the linked forum History 2.1.0, 11th August 2009 - Social Groups without a forum are listed in AdminCP and can be automatically converted with few clicks. - Fixed errors converting bigger discussions - Minor changes and fixes 2.0.1, 05th March 2009 - Convert ignores now deleted discussions - Threads on Groups equipped with mark on new 2.0.0 - First official release for vBulletin 3.8 - Possibility to transfer Social Group Discussion into a real Forum - New layout for threadlisting, similar to a real threadlist in a forum - Possibility of a notice in Forums associated with a Social Group - Discussion/Message counter is showing Thread/Reply counts. Phrase "Discussion" and "Message" cannot be changed to "Thread"/"Reply". - Transfering a Group to another user updates now also the moderator - Minor changes and fixes Download Now

Is there a SQL query that will clear the cache so the program will conduct a fresh search for social discussions?

... but the forum is making! I have set the usergroup permissions normally. What's wrong? Sorry for my bad english |

This means that the script cannot create a subforum in the given parent forum.
