After replacing the file I encounter this error:
Code:
Fatal error: Call to a member function getMember() on a non-object in /library/Waindigo/SocialGroups/Model/SocialForumMember.php on line 304
Not currently. A few MySql queries should do the trick though -- one to update the social forum (xf_social_forum) and one to update each of the members you are changing from/to (xf_social_forum_member).
Its pretty vital that group owners / leaders can transfer the group when they no longer have time to maintain it. Or if the group owner is already gone, then site moderators should be able to do it. Otherwise the group is likely to die.
Invited members will show on the full member list.
Once you invite a member, then the member is not listed anywhere until the member accepts. This means that the same member can receive many invitations which is annoying.
What happens once the member is invited? Does the member get the option to accept or decline?
What happens when the member declines? Is that listed somewhere or can the member be invited over and over again?
Is it possible to cancel invitations?
Have had a lot of interest for this. Apart from Chris Deeming who has yet to get back to me about it.
Yes, this would bring more value to social groups.
Do you mean soft-delete? This will likely be added in future.
No. I would not want a group leader to be able to delete their groups without a staff member approving the deletion. So if the group leader would be able to mark their group for deletion, then the group can be deleted after a staff member confirms it.
Have you tried RSyvarth social groups? If not then take a look at it, as it works really well.
This one is a long way down on my to-do list, since there is not even a feature like this for real forums.
But this is exactly the difference between social groups and forums. Social Groups can be created by members. In my case thats a few hundreds of thousands of members. A lot of members try it out and abandon their group. That results in a lot of bogus groups that no one uses.
In contrast, normal forums are created by the admin and rarely need to be removed. So it would not make sense to have this function on normal forums, but it makes a lot of sense to have a prune function on social groups.
Alternatively it would also work to have some way to sort groups by message count and then have an easy way to delete a large number of selected groups.
Not sure I really understand the point of this.
It regularly happens that a group member wants to message all other group members.
Mind that social groups are basically the next generation of mailing lists.
For the same reason I would like to suggest:
This was quite a popular request for vbulletin social groups for several reasons. It makes it easier to stay updated to a group and reply.
Another major thing is that there still are a lot of mailing lists out there. Some have moved to facebook groups, but many still want to maintain their emailing lists. If social groups have reply by email functionality then this allows email lists to be connected with social groups. In other words: email lists can move their communication to a xenforo installation and see their discussions in social groups. This is very attractive for mailing lists and allows webmasters to gain new members and activity.
Not likely to be added as a feature. I understand what you are saying, but doesn't really fit in with what this add-on is trying to achieve.
Too bad. This would add a lot of value to this addon for me.
