Different Promotions

[legionofangels]

How do I code non-usergroup items such as let's say additional smilies for example, to a usergroup?

I'm using this as an example as we're trying to set up some promotions based upon post count only, but they are things that don't affect the Usergroup directly or currently in the admin cp, like hiding a certain forum or custom avatars. They both have built in set ups for restricting the usergroups.

So how do I restrict the usergroups to other things on our board, or do I need complete custom coding for this?

Any mod out there that I missed in searching that already does this?
