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.

When a register user try to create a forum, it gives them a "you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons: etc..." message, but yet still made the forums for then.
I have the "Registered" usergroup set to yes for making forums, so i dont understand why it would give that message.
Dude or anyone else, would you care to share this code plz??? Something like this would be ideal for my test board.
Speak soon,

You risk violating your vb license if you do those things. Just warning you. The whole private forums thing is a fuzzy line and it's difficult to tell when things are within the license or not.
hello amykhar.......quick question on this update?
In mysql database, all of my setting's are vb3, not vb........how can i change those in your .php in order for my server to accept the query update's.....also, my database to my website is forums, not forum.....do i need to change that stuff also in the .php?
Does anyone have the original txt install instructions?, I had to re-read the thread to figure out most of the stuff I need to do to make this hack work like running that sql query and I'm still triying to figure out where to put a link/button to call the hideaway.php
someone commented on the stuff not showing up in the admin cp and said to change the case of vBulletin to vbulletin. this makes no sense to me because there was no cpnav xml file included and there is no vBulletin in the regular xml file.
i cannot see anything in the admincp except for the spot in the usergroup permissions to allow.
i cannt see anything anywhere to add a forum.
im using 3.5.1 so I am guessing the new uploaded one will not work???
