I got reference from some forum about vbulletin's social networking
features. What specifically I am looking for ( these features are somewhat provided by xoops-yogurt/drupal-OG/elgg or paid ones like phpfox/agriya but not fully done )
User to user Messaging
- if user b posts message on/for user a, user a should see a reply button below user b's comment - this should open a reply box, and when replied the message should get deposited at user b's page, without user a having to leave his page. One can see orkut ( how it handles scrap) to see what I mean.
- conversation type of display of comments between two users : thus when I see a message in my page it should have 3 options below it
-- reply -- delete -- 1:1
the last one opening a page that enlists exchanges between myself and that person only
Groups or Communities
By default and out-of-box groups should have ability
- to have their own uploadable icon or logo
- to have their own simple forum ( not to be mixed with site forum )
- group album, group event calendar and group poll
Apparently, "Social Groups" on vbulletin cannot do any group discussion ( simple forum ) or post group event. Also the profile page do not show the group icons.
Another thing which would be nice, where we can input tags for any and all content (eg tag in profile ) and set privacy levels centrally like who can see profile, album, blog etc . These can be perhaps be done in the present beta but they do not appear to be coherent from one content ( eg.blog ) to another (eg. album )
Thanks and regards
