vB Add Forum - Help me finish - beta 1

This hack is for vBullein 2.2.8 and is being built on a newly installed version of 2.2.8.

This hack is not ready to be installed home boards that have members it is still in the building stage beta 1.

Dev. See todo list for addition to be added.

Again I say this is not ready to be put on a member populated board it is still in development

When it is finshed it will allow members to create a forum in a cat. you determine.

Kinda like gamers.com but for vbulletin.


finished: 10-31-02
1. user can create a forum
2. only registered users can create forums
3. redirect back to index
4. integrated with vb with templates

still more todo!

ToDo List:
Todo:

1. Take some of the hidden input types from the createforum template and hardcore them into the insertforum.php script

2. Make script determine which user created the forum and insert them as the mod for that forum

3. Make script determine if user has created and forum. If they don't allow unless set in admin that you allow them
to create more then one forum. If user has not created a forum allow them too.

4 admin section of script to show which users have created a forum and the name

5. Hopefully we can make this , but it in not vital. Forum creator control panel section which allows them
to make other members mods of there forum and will allow them to delete mods they added. User the main creator added
cannot delete the main mod.

6. if we make the control or if we don't after creation of the forum send an email telling them how to access it control or that they have done it.

7. eithier access creator control panel from profile or separate link

8 . online locations

9. redirect ...we need to change it to only redirect if user creates a forum not all the time like when they click the link back to main forumhome

10. show in members list (maybe) who has created a forum.
this could be an opional addon

Please help me finish this hack...

also please include a txt in the zip of things changed.

there is a todo list in teh zip file

this would be great if members could add a logo, change the colours, etc. for their own forum based around the main style. but this is probably way too big a challenge for a hack.

Wow really I'll have to try and find them. I've wanted a hack to do this for ages.

NTLDR:

Are you saying there is already hack that lets users create forum or a hack that just lets mods change things ?

A hack that lets mods change things.

They were released a couple weeks ago, I think.
