Dorm Manager System

What Dorm Manager System is:
-Creates forums based on your default dorms settings based on post count eligibility. The creator (leader) of the dorm is granted several powers, which only exist in the dorm manager system (there is no extra usergroup). These include regulating members who apply for membership to their dorm, creating threads when the default forum option is set to private, and regulating the existing threads of their dorm. This includes setting one of them as 'Public', which makes it accessible to the whole forums regardless of membership (guestroom). Leaders also can delete their dorm. Members can only exist in one dorm at a time, and everything is completely automated.

Requirements:
-(Optional) A specified parent dorm forum set up

Features:
Settings:
Dorm Name-- Dorm, Clan, Room, Floor etc
Guestroom Name-- Lobby, Guestroom, Closet etc
The Master Dorm Forum-- forum which all the dorm forums appear in
Postcount requirements to lead or join a dorm
Maximum members per dorm, maximum total dorms, maximum threads allowed per dorm
Options between name/numeric dorm name type, and limits on the sizes of both.
Standard forum settings--resembles the forum creation page in the admin cp, which all created forums recieve

-MANY more which I cannot remember!

Installation:
-Upload a few files, run a couple of them, a handful of file edits. Clean installation should take less than 10 minutes for the average admin. Complete instructions are inside the zip.

I UPDATE WHEN NEEDED

If you like this hack and you don't want to miss an update:

THANKS! :up:

thats because the style you are on is missing the templates :-p

the newest version will auto-install templates onto the main template set.

im compiling a list the next version will have fixed/changed/or added to, and ill do it tonight and put it up tomarrow :-p

[MindTrix]

how do you quit someones dorm?? I want to leave the members i am with at the moment and go to someone elses.

But because i am part of a dorm i cannot find anywhere that lets me request to join or leave

[Darkwaltz4]

originally i was going to include a request to leave thing for members, but then whats the point, the member can just send a pm requesting they be removed :-p the reason the initial request does this is because its more than pm sending, it adds the user to the queue.

and i have the next version ready

[dndog]

There still seems to be a bug with joining the dorm...it gives me a database error.

[Darkwaltz4]

aha, found it, and ill post up the changes right now

find in dorms.php

$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO dorms_queue VALUES (NULL,$bbuserinfo[userid],$_POST[reqdorm],0)");

replace with

$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "dorms_queue VALUES (NULL,$bbuserinfo[userid],$_POST[reqdorm],0)");

any more botched queries anyone finds tell me, theyre hard to spot in the code

[Darkwaltz4]

New UPDATE:

Version 3.1.3 Update
Fixed Multiple PM Liquidate Bug
Fixed Last Missing Phrase
Fixed Query Missing Prefix
Fixed No-dorm ACP Warnings
Fixed Forum-Crippling Description Bug
Fixed Potential Double Action Value Bug
OPTIMIZED ALL FILES

I actually recoded the bulk of the dorms.php file :-p go download it. I think this one is the most important upgrade, because it fixes the problem of when you have too many members in your forum (and it overloads mysql)

[MindTrix]

Upgraded from the first version without a single problem. Nice one. Any plans for any future versions or new features etc?

[Darkwaltz4]

The only feature I can think of, would be some sort of admin controller in the acp. You know, like adding/editing/removing dorms. But im not sure of the point of that. Simply editing the actual forums will do the trick, and be sure to just use the forum refreshing system, so I dont know how needed such a function will be. Thats it for the planned addon list, and FFGON is very happy to have their dorms back :-p Anything else I might be able to do custom, but I'm trying to work on the next ffgon project, which is converting my tt hack to vb3 (which wont be available here), and theyll be of minor costs, like from 5-10$ depending on evasiveness to the hack :-p

FRANKLY IM HAPPY ITS FINALLY BUGFREE !

Hehe what an original idea - thanks for sharing with the community

[DBC-DevNull]

ok i have i guess would be a bug

I made a dorm to test it out. I manually deleted the dorm and now i can`t liquidate or leave this dorm. I tried to remake it and still a no go
