Ok updated for what should be complete inheritance and some redundant code removed

These are the steps for editing the code pasted from user.php in Merk's instructions (step 5). So just replace step5 with this and inheritance should go through as many children as possible. With some slight changes this would also work for PPN's code too i believe since it suffers from the same problem of not inheriting past the first parent forum.

Find

PHP Code:

if ($action=="editaccess") { 


Add immediately below it

PHP Code:

  if(!isset($userid)) {
   $username=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid FROM user WHERE username='$user_name'");
   $userid=$username[userid];
   }
  $user=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT username FROM user WHERE userid='$userid'");

  $accesslist=$DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM access WHERE userid='$userid'");
  while ($access=$DB_site->fetch_array($accesslist)) {
    $accessarray["$access[forumid]"] = $access;
  }
  $DB_site->free_result($accesslist); 


Find

PHP Code:

doformheader("user","updateaccess");
makehiddencode("userid","$userid"); 


Replace with

PHP Code:

doformheader("modaccessmasks","updateaccess");
makehiddencode("userid","$userid"); 


Edit the html section just after this to your liking if you wish for your moderators.

Find

PHP Code:

  while($forum=$DB_site->fetch_array($forumlist)) {
    echo "<tr class='secondalt'><td nowrap><P>$forum[title]</p></td><td width=100%><p>";
    if ( is_array($accessarray["$forum[forumid]"]) ) { 


Change too (This makes sure not all forums are displayed just ones they have access too).

PHP Code:

  while($forum=$DB_site->fetch_array($forumlist)) {
    if ( is_array($accessarray["$forum[forumid]"]) ) { 


Find

PHP Code:

    echo "<input type=\"radio\" name=\"accessupdate[".$forum['forumid']."]\" value=\"1\"".iif($sel
==1,"checked","")."> Yes <input type=\"radio\" name=\"accessupdate[".$forum['forumid']."]\" value=
\"0\"".iif($sel==0,"checked","")."> No <input type=\"radio\" name=\"accessupdate[".$forum['forumid
']."]\" value=\"-1\" ".iif($sel==-1,"checked","")."> Default <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"oldcach
e[".$forum['forumid']."]\" value=\"$sel\">";
    echo "</p></td></tr>\n";
  } 


Replace with

PHP Code:

    $perms=getpermissions($forumid,-1,-1,$forum[parentlist]);
    if(( ismoderator($forum[forumid],"canmoderateposts") ||
$perms['ismoderator'] && $forum['allowmodaccess']) ||
$perms['cancontrolpanel']) {
    echo "<tr class='secondalt'><td nowrap><P>$forum[title]</p></td><td width=100%><p>";
    echo "<input type=\"radio\" name=\"accessupdate[".$forum['forumid']."]\" value=\"1\"".iif($sel
==1,"checked","")."> Yes <input type=\"radio\" name=\"accessupdate[".$forum['forumid']."]\" value=
\"0\"".iif($sel==0,"checked","")."> No <input type=\"radio\" name=\"accessupdate[".$forum['forumid
']."]\" value=\"-1\" ".iif($sel==-1,"checked","")."> Default <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"oldcach
e[".$forum['forumid']."]\" value=\"$sel\">";
    echo "</p></td></tr>\n";
  }
} 


Find

PHP Code:

echo "<p>User access updated successfully</p>";
$action="modify"; 


Replace with

PHP Code:

echo "<p>User access updated successfully</p>";
$action="select"; 


And your done!!

These directions hopefully are more clear
