[TH] Social Groups [Deleted]

Just got my head around the permission!

One question, how can I get it to show the amount of threads/messages and also the thread the last post was made in on the forum index?

launch.webp
 
Question, I'm not quite sure what this addon does and I figured I'd post what I want and see if this is it.
I want my upgraded users to be able to create a social group and invite users to it and access the forums only if they've been invited.

Does it do this?

Also, suggestion - would like to have a custom banner for that group uploadable and displayed.

Yes, this is all possible. The custom banner can be done with a file upload custom field and our Custom Fields add-on.
 
This question will likely never be answered but here it is anyways:

Anyone know if its possible to get latest threads to display in a bd widget (widget framework)? I'm trying to make a widget page for a group but posts in social forums cant be displayed in widget.

It probably depends on your permissions. If your group threads are visible to anyone it may work. Or might be a very simple code edit. If your threads are private it may be more difficult.
 
I have my permissions set to public, social group categories display fine in the thread widget, but social forums dont display at all (in the settings for the widget).
 
One thing im wondering about, can a social groups moderator create multiple forums (or 1 forum with multiple sub-forums) without the need to approve users to every forum?

Are you still talking about specific users or any users? You can set it up so that users with permission (set by an admin) can join any group without having to be approved. There is currently no way to automatically approve users for multiple social forums at the same time or anything like that though.

Best practice experience: Change the default sort order to Last Message Time -> Descending. That increases participation because users see which forums are being utilized. The original default sorting allows someone to name a forum such as !!Top Games, and that will always appear on the top, even if it has 0 threads.
 
Hi @Jon W wondering how I might be able to prevent a social group from showing up in 'new posts' feed? At the moment it seems that moderators (regular forum) can view them there.. is there a setting to disable that?

Edit- I confirmed the following:

Usergroup 1 and Usergroup 2 both have the same settings including:

View Social Forum: Never (I went from no to never to try this)

And I can still see posts appearing from them in the new posts feed in Usergroup 2 but not in Group 1.... Is there a secondary place for usergroup settings for social that I might be missing?

I just noticed that the social group description does not appear under the title of the social group when you're in the social group itself. That's not the case with standard xenforo forums. Is there a way to make the forum's description appear? Thanks.
