Owned Forums / Diaries for your members!
Developer Last Online: Apr 2011
What this hack does
This hack will allow your members to create 'diaries' (the term my site uses)--forums that are "owned" by a member or group of members. The owner(s) will be able to add and delete other owners to their diary, and modify the title/description of their diary. How it works When a user would like to create a diary, they will visit /forumdir/newdiary.php and submit their application (username and description of their desired diary). To prevent abuse, the application will be moved to /forumdir/queue.php. An administrator can either deny or confirm the application. If denied, the application is removed from the diary_queue table. If it is confirmed, it is removed from the diary_queue table and created as a new forum. The file located at /forumdir/diarycp.php will include the statistics of an owner's diary(s), including post count, thread count, latest post, forum name, as well as the 'Edit Diary', 'Add Owner', and 'Delete Owner' functions. This is only tested on 3.0.5, but I don't see why it wouldn't work on any 3.0.x install. If it doesn't work on 3.0.7 please tell me and I will update my post. Estimated install time is 5 minutes. This hack will add one table (diary_queue.php), and you need to add 11 templates. You don't need to modify any vB files. See readme.html for more info . Version 1.0.1 released July 28, 2005 and Zip updated! Read below for details all who have installed this hack! Version 1.0.1 should resolve all known bugs. The following bugs should be fixed:

No idea at all, like I said I've been unable to reproduce this .

I'm still a little confused how it works. So those that you set with "permissions" become moderators of these "forums" but anybody can make new threads and replies in them? Is that correct? I want something that is like a hosted forum.
I wouldn't mind seeing more screenshots or a link to a site running this. Anybody have em? |

You upload the Diary Control Panel files to your server and create the templates. When a user submits a diary application, it will enter the Diary Queue. As an administrator you can deny or confirm the diary. If you confirm it, it will be created under the parentid specified in the preferences file. The submitter of the application becomes the moderator of the forum. He can alter the title and description of the diary. He can also add and delete other owners to and from the diary, who all also possess the same permissions as he does. The forum created is still a forum in every sense of the word.
The details are covered in the readme. |

I have received a request for a feature to be added to this hack that would allow the diary owners to disable certain members from viewing their diary (the diary owners would control this).
I find this a great suggestion and I've thought of a fairly easy method to use to add this. My question is would anyone else like this added (so I know how "priority" it is to add this). Thanks . |

Sounds pretty good to me, something like a "Ban Member" option but just for the particular subforum. Would be great if you could add it!

This seems like it could cause problems for anything else that uses the same template. |

As stated somewhere earlier, 1.0.1 resolves that issue and therefore that fix is unnecessary . And no, that wouldn't mess up your forums, either.
Also as stated... yes, everyone can post in this forum. It's a forum in every sense of the word. I'm not planning to have an allowed to view list in the future... only a disallow list. |

I just downloaded the zip and the readme.html has absolutely no mention of what you're talking about so I believe you're using an old zip.
