[TH] Social Groups [Deleted]

[mistypants]

I'm having some trouble with this add-on and XenPorta. XenPorta uses the following link in the news footer:

<a href="{xen:link forums, $news}">{$news.node_title}</a>

However, since installing this add-on, the link is:

http://website.com/social-forums/nodetitle.0/

Instead of:

http://website.com/forums/nodetitle.0/

I'm not sure if it's a problem with this or XenPorta but I figured I would report it. It's a small bug so no big rush! Terrific add-on otherwise.

I am also still having the issue as reported in post #279 of this thread so I have had to disable this addon due to its conflict with xenAtendo calendar system...I hope this can get fixed soon

I went through numerous attempts to try to uninstall it. You can find my posts on this thread.
Finally with help from Dinh Thanh, I got it to uninstall. You need to turn on debug mode and uncheck the Uninstall calls inside this addon. There are numerous steps to drop the tables and phrase, hooks from this addon. I probably wouldn't advise anyone going through the manual process I did.
I hope the author would update and improve the uninstallation routine for you.

Could I please have the uninstall steps? I no longer have a need for this addon for my board. Thank you.

It is important to note that the uninstall only doesn't work in a few situations (basically when you have certain other add-ons uploaded but not installed). Unless you are actually having problems with the uninstaller, you do not need to follow the above instructions. Also, you can fix the uninstaller by removing files for add-ons that you do not have installed (namely Nodes As Tabs, XenPorta and XenAtendo).

...and you will probably want to give Registered users (or maybe just Administrators) the ability to create Social Forums:

Some questions:

1. Can the group owner or admin transfer ownership?
2. Is there newsfeed integration?
3. How do you import vbulletin social groups?
4. Is there a list of invited members?

Suggestions:

1. group leaderboard / top members / group member statistics (posts, likes, reports, etc)
2. Social Group rules (accept before you can join)
3. Group news widget
4. Group description widget
5. Group tasks
6. Group images from XenMediaGAllery
7. Mark group for deletion
8. Prune inactive groups
9. Social Sharing: mark group thread for social sharing.
10. Group conversations
11. Integrate with custom profile fields, so that all members who have filled in the same in the interest profile field, are invited to a social group dedicated to that interest.
12. Hide the groups category from the node list and add it to a (navigation) tab. This would be handy for websites that already have a mass of nodes.
13. Add a link to the information tab on profile to find all group posts by the member.
14. Add group privacy levels so that users who are not members of a group can not see the groups content.
15. Connect a group to a forum. I have groups that maintain a forum.
16. Group category permissions. So that only certain usergroups can join groups in a group category.
