Post Icons Forum Permissions

'Post Icons Forum Permissions' allows you to restrict post icons to certain forums.
vBulletin only allows you to set permissions to user groups.

Another feature of this plugin is that it adds an option to group the post icons in the submission form. These groups are collapsable.

That's pretty much all this plugin does.
The plugin adds a new admincp page to the "Post Icons" groups that will allow you to set the permission for each forum. By default the post icon groups can be used in all forums.

To install simply copy the 'pifp.php' file to the admincp directory and install the product XML. You will need to reload the admincp menu frame in order for the new menu item to show up.

New in v1.0.1

• Restrict usage to first post (the initial thread post)
• Restrict usage to replies
• Restrict usage in Private Message (or rather all non-forum posts) (first post and reply settings have no effect on this setting)

New in v1.1

• Post icon grouping
  You can enable this feature in the vbulletin settings under "Message Posting Interface Options" -> "Post icon grouping" (disabled by default)

New in v1.1.1

• Initially only the category of the post icon group that contains the selected icon is not collapsed. If no post icon was set (new replies) the first group is collapsed. This way only one category will be open when editing or creating a post.

Folder version? You mean collapsable post icon groups?

[DevinM]

Yeah! what a great addition man nice work!

I will be installing this today!

[El_Muerte]

ps, there is only one minor issue. by default the post icon groups are not collapsed. I haven't found a way to force the initial collapsing and still respect the stored collapsing.

[DevinM]

Well its a very useful hack, if you do end up resolving that minor bug ill re-install.

Already sent this link to a few admins I know needing something like this.

[El_Muerte]

Well that should take care of it all

More awesome stuff, Muerte.

You may wanna rename the hack though, since grouping icons has absolutely nothing to do with their permissions whatsoever.

[El_Muerte]

maybe, but I like the PIFP abreviation

This doesn't work for me. I get a message of this

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.4:

Hi

This works well when creating a new thread, but when editing an older
thread since installing this hack the icons dont show that have been set for the said forums!!

Any advice please?
