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.

Any thoughts? I'd really like to implement this

Same here when trying to import

[vibe]

Okay, this is what I did:

I went ahead and delete "imagecategoryforums" table off from my SQL and re-imported the xml file and this is what I got.

Invalid SQL:

  ALTER TABLE imagecategoryforums ADD options TINYINT NOT NULL DEFAULT '0';;

MySQL Error  : You have an error in your SQL syntax near ';
' at line 2
Error Number : 1064

Can somebody advise me on this?
Thanks

Same thing happened to me.

Does this work for vb 3.6?

[johnstires]

Just tested, works great for 3.6

It looks like there's an extra semi-colon.


Anyhoo . . . this mod sounds great. I'll be installing once I design my icons.

[Mindwarp]

anyways to keep it expanded so that the user did not have to?

[DevinM]

This hack works great for me on 3.6.4, by default it stays expanded for me. I didnt change anything.

[RedGTiVR6]

works great on 3.6.7PL1.

Just one question, I cannot for the life of me figure out where to set permissions based on user group for the post icons...

I checked the manual, all it says is that you change it at the usergroup level, but I cannot find that in the usergroups at all!

[RedGTiVR6]

welp, I've found an issue.

If I go into a thread that I have not created, and want to add in one of the new post icons that is assigned to a specific user group, it will show up fine from within the thread, however, if I go out to the thread litsings it does not show up.

But, if I edit a thread that I started and add in one of these icons, it will show up fine in the thread listings page.

Any ideas anyone?
