Faster change of forumpermissions

Such a system has been requested several times, and now i've coded it.

With this hack you can change the forumpermissions of a usergroup for all forums at once, or change the forumpermissions of one forum for all usergroups at once.

the permission form is also created dynamical, so whenever you add a permission into the database (like canviewtitles or whatever) you can imediately use it with my forms.

Screenshots are following

Hack version 2.02
Known Bugs: None
Planned upgrades: none for now

seems you've got the same bug as others have here, too.

Which PHP version and MySQL do you use?
i think the hack requires PHP42x

[marocnl]

I am not quite sure. I think it's lower than 42x, but defenitely something with a 4 .

Can you get it to work with a lower version PHP/MySql, cause i would really like 2 use it. Get motivated by all the pIEpAl who are eager to implent it in their site.

Let me know if ur planning to make one soon.

perhaps i try it, but i don't use php4.1 or lower so i realized it after releasing that it seems to have problems...

also my time is limited these days because of studying...

Would 'PLEASE' make any difference in speeding up the process?


P.S.: I'm really waiting 4 it, so just tell whether u seriously plan to give it a go. :classic:

yes i plan to make it compatible, but cannot say if it would work

There is only one thing I can say

Thank you so much for this hack.

Ok we have installed this hack also. I have www.ipowerweb.com for a webhost. The problem we have is...

Lets say i have a user named Bob. He is in user group named "group 1" and is a moderator of a forum.

My problem is here, If i make a private forum, Bob seems to have access to it by default. I do NOT want this. So i installed this hack hoping it would make things easier.

I then goto the user groups section of this hack and the screen of this hack comes up. I then set permissions and check/uncheck the needed fields. When i push the apply button at the bottom i get a screen telling me permissions have been changed.
Now, If i ask bob if he can see the forum i just added and changed permissions for his group on he tells me "Yes he can"
The permissions i set his group for this private forum is NOT to be able to see the forum.

Ive tried creating my own new user, making him a moderator of a forum, and adding him to a group. As soon as i make a NEW private forum, my user can see it by default. (can you change this default to not make moderators have permission to NEW private forums?)
In control panel i goto user groups to chage the permissions.

Again.. it says my permissions are set. I log onto my test user but yet i Still see the forum i just told the group it couldnt see.
I need help with this please. I am adding new PRIVATE forums daily for groups of people. Everytime i do i have to go to each moderator that i dont want to have access to it and change thier permission manually by user name. i have 21 moderators currently (only to get bigger) and i can see this problem become a large problem for me.

that's not a problem with my hack!

you have enabled acces masks, which always overwrites the permissions given for a usergroup.

you have to edit HIS accesmask to disallow him to view some forums.
my hack just works for usergrouppermissions, not for accesmasks
