For normal groups. I never said it worked liked normal groups on the forum, I said it worked like banned groups on the forum. Please read peoples responses before responding.

That is why usergroups have "is this group a banned usergroup" option, that it knows to deny.

Exactly, and the access permissions for DownloadsII work in the same way. All the groups are considered banned groups for the purposes of DownloadII access, regardless of whether or not the group is a banned group. As you pointed out a single deny blocks all access for banned groups, which is exactly why I said all permissions for downloads behave as if the groups are all banned groups. Again please read what is posted.

Other wise the yes will decide the groups permission where as this hack does not.

We are not even talking about banned usergroups, we are talking about secondary YES permissions overriding NO permissions - which VBULLETIN does.

I have not said it didn't. I said banned groups do not work that way, and that all groups for DownloadsII permissions work the way that banned groups do. Anybody in a banned group, primary or secondary, that has a permission set to no in the banned group will not have whatever that permission gives access to.

OK help me with this scenario if you think they hack works like vbulletin


------------------------------
I have usergroups VIP, Moderators, Special Coders, and some more.

These usergroups have special forums, and special areas they can view!

Also there is Registered users, registered 5, registered 10, so on, these have limited to none downloads depending on posts

If I make the subscription give a new primary group it takes the Moderators, VIP, Specials, and makes them Contributors - Which is no good as moderators lose there status.

If I make the paid subscription a secondary usergroup and the preferred method, then users from the registered, registered 5, does not inherit the YES you can downloads from the contributed group (secondary group).

However that user can now download whatever he wants via forum attachments because of the overriding YES permission of the secondary user
------------------------------

So it does not really work like the forums in that respect

For the fourth time in this post, it does not work like the standard groups do, it works like the banned groups do. If any a user is member of a group that has a deny permission then it doesn't matter if one group or every other group they are a member of, primary or secondary, has an allow permission, they will be denied access.

A single deny in any group a user is a member of will prevent access to the DownloadII.
