My Forum - Personalised Forum Aggregator This is the first release of this modification, please read the entire description before proceeding to install. Background As a forum administrator the chances are that at some point you have received "feedback" from members that they would prefer a different forum layout. For example, lets say you have the following forum structure:
Some members might prefer:
Most sites have many more than 3 forums so the possible user preferred combinations are impossible to cater for, which means you cannot keep everybody happy, until now! My Forum - What Does it do? This modification uses the existing vBulletin forum subscription system to allow users to aggregate/mashup/join forums into a single "forum" where they can view all threads in the forums they have subscribed to. This gives a personalised "My Forum" which means that you can cater for all of the preferences mentioned above. So taking the first preference example given above UserSmith would subscribe to the seperate Parrots & Eagles forums and then visit "My Forum" where he/she would see all threads in these two forums in a single forum. The following is a brief summary of the key features
Demo You can see a live demo here: http://www.therevcounter.com/myforum.php In this setup My Forum is running in Guest Mode with guest forum subscriptions for "General Mayhem" and "Motorbike Chat". If you want register for an account and play with it in user mode. Installation Installation is fairly simple, follow these steps:
There are also some other optional setup steps you can follow to add My Forum to Forum Jump and the Breadcrumb box, these are details in the first post. Configuration Once installed you can configure this modification via:
The configuration options are fairly self explanatory, so I won't go into details here. However there is a screen shot attached. What it doesn't do right now, but will/might in later releases
I have been running this modification as it is here on my own site for almost 6 months and my members love it and the missing functionality has never been a problem. So there you have it! This is the first release of this modification, before posting here I have obviously put it through its paces, however there is always a possibility of a current unknown bug rearing its ugly head. If this does happen please post the details here and I will endeavour to quickly resolve the problem. It goes without saying that you should try this on your test forums before going live. It is also worth mentioning that you should suggest to your members that they choose "no email notification" forum subscriptions. Support I have marked this mod as unsupported, this is because I cannot guarantee that I will always be around to quickly answer questions. I will pop in from time to time but I would rather not mark it as supported. Version History

That is rather odd, in summary the outputs you have provided tell me this:
The mod has then mashed these together and checked the permissions on each forum ID, it has then removed forums "5,6,7,8" as the current user does not have permission to view and then created the final display list with forums "2,1,2,3,4" *. What this means is that when the mod does its DB query to get thread titles it will only look for titles in forums: 1,2,3,4 If there are no threads in these forums (or they don't exist) then you will get the message you are seeing. Is there any chance you could PM me with the URL of your board? I will setup a test user account and have a look around. * The duplication of ID 2 is a minor bug, but doesn't explain this. |

Simply one of the best mods I've come across. My users have been begging for something like this for some time now, and when I finish the 2.0 update to my forums in the next week or so, I'm sure they'll be happy as hell about this.
Great work! |

I have not yet had a chance to really look at this mod in 3.8 yet, in theory in should work but I cannot say with absolute certainty
This being said, I do intend to update the mod for the 3.8 series but right now I can't make any promises as to when this will occur. |

Just a quick update just incase anybody is watching this thread.
I am using this version of the Mod in 3.8 and it is working fine. I am also currently working on a 3.8 update for this that has various configuration enhancements and will also allow users to aggregate their Social Group Discussions into My Forum. I don't want to give a specific ETA for this, however the current guesstimate is 2 weeks |
