I'm still not 100% certain as to the exact reason why it was happening that way since my mind isn't operating at 100% yet (pain meds). Once I'm thinking clearly I'll figure out exactly why and let you know.
Social Groups for XenForo 1.x [Deleted]
- Thread starter Snog
- Start date
Still enjoying this addon.
I noticed today that when I created a group, and a subsequent announcement forum thread was automatically created, that if you include the "&" in the title of the group created, the announcement thread replaces the "&" with "&" in both new thread title and post content.
Just fyi.

Thanks, I never noticed that. I'll include the fix in the next release.
If you want to fix it now, edit the library/Snog/SocialGroups/ControllerPublic/Index.php file and locate these lines (should start at line 1606)...
Code:
$post_title = new Xenforo_Phrase('snog_socialgroups_notice_title', array('name' => $group['name']));
if(XenForo_Application::getOptions()->snog_socialgroups_noticedescription) $description = $group['groupdescription'];
$post_message = new Xenforo_Phrase('snog_socialgroups_notice_text', array('user' => $visitor['username'], 'name' => '[URL=' . XenForo_Application::getOptions()->boardUrl . '/' . XenForo_Link::buildPublicLink('groups/group', $group) . ']' . $group['name'] . '[/URL]', 'description' => $description));And replace with these...
Code:
$post_title = new Xenforo_Phrase('snog_socialgroups_notice_title', array('name' => $group['name']), FALSE);
if(XenForo_Application::getOptions()->snog_socialgroups_noticedescription) $description = $group['groupdescription'];
$post_message = new Xenforo_Phrase('snog_socialgroups_notice_text', array('user' => $visitor['username'], 'name' => '[URL=' . XenForo_Application::getOptions()->boardUrl . '/' . XenForo_Link::buildPublicLink('groups/group', $group) . ']' . $group['name'] . '[/URL]', 'description' => $description), FALSE);

Check the "PC Sender Name" in the add-on options and be sure it's a name (not a userID) and that the user exists.
Note that according to my records you are also about 6 versions behind the latest released version and in the next week or two you'll be 7 versions behind.

Is it possible to add group videos?

Sorry, no it isn't.

Could that be something for the future? If yes then I would be interested in something like this

I had no plans for it, but I will put it on the wish list.

Even if it you could just pull content from the XMG that would be cool.

This would also be great if you could set up events in this. Having a tab for events where you can add times and dates etc

Interfacing with the XMG would be next to impossible, to difficult at best. In most cases, the social group system uses user level permissions (not user group) to establish who can view the contents of a group. The XMG does not take permissions down to the user level and uses user group level permissions for it's categories, etc.. So to say USER-X can not view the contents of XMG category-Y or album-z may not be possible.
This is already on the wish list.

Well I'm no expert haha so any ways to get videos into it would be great

You can't. At least not without some extra php coding in the add-on. There's nothing in the add-on to establish any kind of ranking for the groups.
Snog,
This addon is being enjoyed by my members, and I am allowing my premium member group to create their own social groups.
An issue came up yesterday that demonstrated to me that either I do not have it setup properly, or a fix is needed.
I noticed that when a member makes a group forum, that permission masks are not applied and all usergroups are set for no (not set) permissions.
I tried to set permissions in the root group category node, but those perms do not translate through to the forum nodes.
I need to have a base set of permission mask setting apply to member created group forums. Especially admin and mod settings.
Any pointers on what I am missing?
