vb.org Archive - Deny/Reset single usergroups

We've got a lot of usergroups at our forum, and sometimes we mes up on our forum permissions. XD It's great that vBulletin has provided us a way to reset or deny permissions to all usergroups at once, but I'm so lazy I wish to be able to do it individually without having to load an extra page, select "Use Default Permissions" or press "All No", and then save it.

So, I've made this tiny modification to the admincp/forumpermissions.php script thaa I thought I'd share, in case some of you find it useful as well.

First, locate the following line:

PHP Code:


		
			
echo "$indent\t<li$liStyle>" . construct_link_code($vbphrase['edit'], "forumpermission.php?" . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "do=edit&amp;$fplink") . $usergroup['title'] . "</li>\n";

Go ahead an comment this out, and replace it with this instead:

PHP Code:


		
			
echo "$indent\t<li$liStyle>"

 . construct_link_code($vbphrase['edit'], "forumpermission.php?" . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "do=edit&amp;$fplink")

 . construct_link_code('Deny',            "forumpermission.php?" . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "do=denyug&amp;f=$forumid&amp;u=$usergroupid")

 . construct_link_code('Reset',           "forumpermission.php?" . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "do=resetug&amp;f=$forumid&amp;u=$usergroupid")

 . $usergroup['title']

 . "</li>\n";

This adds two links, [Deny] and [Reset], to each usergroup line.

Now, we have to make it so those links actually DO something.

Find the following (should be near the top of your script)

PHP Code:


		
			
if (empty($_REQUEST['do']))

{

    $_REQUEST['do'] = 'modify';

}

After this bit, add the following 'do' branches:

PHP Code:


		
			
// ###################### Start Reset single usergroup #######################

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'resetug')

{

  $forumid =& $vbulletin->GPC['f'];

  $usergroupid =& $vbulletin->GPC['u'];

  $db->query_write("DELETE FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forumpermission WHERE forumid = " . $vbulletin->GPC['f'] . " AND usergroupid=" . $vbulletin->GPC['u']);

  define('CP_REDIRECT', 'forumpermission.php?do=modify&f=' . $vbulletin->GPC['f']);

  print_stop_message('saved_forum_permissions_successfully');

}



// ###################### Start Deny single usergroup #######################

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'denyug')

{

  $forumid =& $vbulletin->GPC['f'];

  $usergroupid =& $vbulletin->GPC['u'];

  $db->query_write("REPLACE INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forumpermission (forumid,usergroupid,forumpermissions) VALUES (" . $vbulletin->GPC['f'] . "," . $vbulletin->GPC['u'] . ",0)");

  define('CP_REDIRECT', 'forumpermission.php?do=modify&f=' . $vbulletin->GPC['f']);

  print_stop_message('saved_forum_permissions_successfully');

}

Save, and you're done! :)

I did this for vB 3.8.1, but it most probably will work in earlier versions.
