Thanks for the suggestion. Works exactly same way the forums configuration. I just didn't realize somebody would want usergroup permissions. Will be implementing this for sure.



The mod has been developed for 3.8.4 (should work from at least 3.8 RC 3).

3.7 require a new mod, with the JS popup menu ported (3.8 have it built in).

I will be looking @ it next days/weeks. Would be faster if you donate to incentivate



Something wrong with the donation button? :erm:

Searched vb.org rules and found nothing related to donations for coders. Considering vB.org have a specific forum for paid requests, it sounds nice to incentivate coders develop free mods and paid mods for a lower price (this mod is from a paid request, and while other coders would ask hundreds dollars, I asked a very low incentive and firmed that it would be publicy available after finished).

I'm still implementing all features the user request: he wants A-Z filtering in forumhome (index.php) also, below each forum title. However, this seems hards to code, because there are 4 forumbits to attach the ABC Menu template and there is nothink to "hook in" that is widely used from different styles. Any user using a style != from vB default will have to use the manual placement in forumhome (and, like I said, there are 4 forumbits...). Like you can see, I hate manual edits. It make upgrading vB a bad experience.



My forum have ~350 forums (50 of usergroups and staff level sections). I found a way to reduce the 300 content forums to only 8 (I'm implementing this - it's some kind of "filtering" too)

Send me a PM if you're interested in know more.

I don't mind that coders set paypal up in their profile, so those who decide to support it, have it in their release thread on the right column.

It's not needed to pollute my admincp with donate buttons.

If there's a readme.html or install.html, I think it's a suitable place to have someone consider contributing to it while they're reviewing it.

What's next, a popup that prevents one from using the product until donate option yes/no has been selected? Sorry, personally I find it a step too far to butt in on the admincp with going anywhere further than provide the code for the addon.

It's a personal preference. It got me by surprise. And I hope it's not a trend. It is actually a motivator for me to either a) stop using it and uninstall it as it gives me the impression the mod is only released to try and get some money out of it (just like so called "lite" releases on vborg) or b) just edit the code out and no longer support the idea of donating for it.

Again it's just me .. I would donate if it's a fair honest submitted contribution for free, no commercialization or monetizing on the mind, and there's a paypal link on the release or install thread in the right place.

No, it's not a problem, and yes, I understand your motivation. But no, I don't personally like it. That's why I commented on it. Nothing personal against you.
