Hideaways

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.

if i create the forum, i get this error: Fatal error: Unable to proceed with save while $errors array is not empty in class vb_datamanager_forum in /includes/class_dm.php on line 758

then if i hit refresh it says i allready have a forum.

when i try to edit, i get this error:
Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator.

i cannot see any forums, there are none listed in my adminCP either.

any help is appreciated!

First, tell me every change you made to hideaway.php. And, if you didn't make any, that's your first problem. You were supposed to

i would assume you are talking about post 21 in this thread. my hideaway.php says the following:

// Throw the whole mess in the database.
	$db->query_write("INSERT INTO ".TABLE_PREFIX."usergroup (title,usertitle,ispublicgroup) VALUES ('$title','$usertitle',$ispublicgroup)");

post 21 says this:

Replace with

// Throw the whole mess in the database.
$db->query_write("INSERT INTO ".TABLE_PREFIX."usergroup (title,usertitle,ispublicgroup) VALUES ('$title','$usertitle',$ispublicgroup)");

seems like the file i got allready had this change in it. is there another edit?

[djsydeburnz]

if its the edit about:

eval(print_standard_redirect('hideaway_added'));

i added that in both places in the hideway.php

how about the original install txt so i can try it the right way.

[amykhar]

no, it's the edit about setting the parent forum id and the forum title names.

and as far as it telling you that you already have a hideaway, delete the usergroup that it created.

ah...i think i might be getting somewhere now. i didnt think to look in the actual php script. thanks for being patient. i forsee visiting paypal in your near future.

you are missing the file edits like the rest of us. if you go to amy's forum and pay $10 for the vbulletin membership you can find out the edits needed. i personally haven't sorry or i would give you the edits for free.

That makes no difference if im using the admincp and geting it.
