UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development Addons and Modifications [7.2.1] - Expanded group permissions

Couldn't wait til 7.3, because a customer needed it and had a spare afternoon.. So this puppy was born to bridge the time gap.

It allows an Admin to selectively dole out permissions based upon with group or groups they are in..

It not only looks at whether the group feature is enabled or disabled, but additionally takes into account an optional post count requirement for each feature.

Features only come into play, if the board allows the feature globally or on a per forum basis.

Features can be or'ed together, much like we have now for forum based group permissions.

Group features also utilize the same type of permission caching that Rick employed for Forums. It's very efficient that way.

I believe a picture or pictures is worth a 1003 words, so here goes some screenies..

select



then



and voila



You'll notice that i pulled the custom title per group feature over into THIS matrix, so don't be alarmed if you click on the other tab and notice it's 'missing'.. It just moved over to it's newfound home

I belive the last screenie is self explanatory..

Feel free to ask questions..

Oh and backup your files etc etc, before doing this puppy. It's a medium to hard modification..

and read the ReadMe.txt for all the dirty rotten details that i didn't cover here as well as what to actually do if you want this on your board..
