Edit timeout: Is there a way to make it specific to a forum section or user group?

Many thanks. I'll give that a shot tonight...

OK, I actually modified my search terms and found more info that you had suggested elsewhere regarding specific user groups rather than forum ID's. Many thanks, as THAT worked like a charm. I added a usergroup called EDITOR and added a test user to that usergroup (as a secondary group) and set the timeout to 0 (zero, to make it indefinite). That worked really well.

Now I want to get sorta complicated with this, but I want to grant these users the ability to edit indefinitely (or extended limit) in only particular forums. I would imagine that this would require nesting of two conditionals in the plugins, no?

My question is, would I do two separate plugins and make them read in a specific order on the fetch_foruminfo hook, or would I nest them in the same plugin like below?

PHP Code:

if (($forumid == 'NN') AND (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, x,y,z)))
{
    $vbulletin->options['edittimelimit'] = 'XX';
} 


[S]I just don't want to create an unstable condition by "testing" this out on the forum while it's live...[/S]
EDIT: I got adventurous and tried it. It appears to be working the way I have it specified above. It allows that in a specific forum, a specific member group may edit either a different specified time or indefinitely. WOOT! A specific example would be to have a special subsection in a Classifieds forum section that is specifically for dealers. If a dealer posts in the dealer subsection, they may edit their posts to reflect a change in pricing or availability. Any other member won't have the ability, unless they are a mod/admin.

THANK YOU!!!
