Implemented Create Forum for Group

[Ryan Nielson]

It would be nice to have the option to create a new forum node for each group that is created, that is specific to that group and only accessible through that group (not via URL or node tree). The permissions of the group would be integrated with the forum and if the group were deleted, the forum and all threads in it would also be deleted.

Great idea, not overly keen on the auto delete function though...

Ashley.S.I like it, so long as the created forum is ONLY used by that specific group. If that group(s) get deleted, I certainly don't want a bunch of posts laying around....

It should be OPTIONAL that the forum is deleted if the group is deleted. Just in case, so the forum is not deleted by accident.

Also important that the forum can have subforums that can be added later in time.

FreelancerWhy would you need sub-forums for a forum created specifically for a group? Doesn't that stray away from the purpose of the group mod itself?

zoldosWithout this feature this social group will be useless for mobile app, or at least it will be hard to access groups forums/threads at mobile app. But if every group has their own sub forum then it will be easier to manage and all the groups forums/threads will be easy to access from mobile app. For me, that is the reason.

While mobile app for forum will be more popular now on, IMO this feature will give great benefits.
