Purpose: I run many many forums(120+ including subcatagories) so i needed a more efficient way of controlling access masks(there is an infinite combination of usergroups if i was to use that method.)
So set about creating a better system.
For an example, view the attachment. (default setting=green, yes=red, no=blue).
Installation:
First, you need to open up adminfunctions.php in the /admin/ directory and add (just before the ?>)
PHP Code:
// ###################### Start makeoptioncode #######################
function makeoptioncode ($value="",$description, $selected="", $color="green") {
// similar to makeinputcode, only for a text area
// ###################### Start accessmasks function #######################
function accessmasks($parentid=-1) {
global $DB_site, $userid, $forumid;
$forums=$DB_site->query("SELECT forumid,title,displayorder FROM forum WHERE parentid=$parentid ORDER BY displayorder");
while ($forum=$DB_site->fetch_array($forums)) {
$accesslist=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM access WHERE userid='$userid' AND forumid='$forum[forumid]'");
if ( is_array($accesslist) )
{if ($accesslist['accessmask']==0)
{$sel = 0; $tempcolour="blue";}
elseif ($accesslist['accessmask']==1)
{$sel = 1; $tempcolour="red";}
else {$sel = -1; $tempcolour="green";}}
else
{$sel = -1; $tempcolour="green";}
echo "<li><div style=\"color:$tempcolour\"><b>$forum[title]</b>";
echo " > > > <SELECT name=\"accessupdate[".$forum['forumid']."]\" style=\"font-size: 7pt; background-color: #dfdfdf; font-family: Arial, Tahoma;\" maxlength=\"20\">";
makeoptioncode(1,"Yes",iif($sel==1,"selected",""),"red");
makeoptioncode(0,"No",iif($sel==0,"selected",""),"blue");
makeoptioncode(-1,"Default",iif($sel==-1,"selected",""),"green");
echo "</select></div>\n\n";
echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"oldcache[".$forum['forumid']."]\" value=\"$sel\">";
echo "<ul>";
accessmasks($forum[forumid]);
echo "</ul>\n";
echo "</li>\n";
}}
// ###################### Start modify #######################
if ($action=="editaccess") {
$user=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT username FROM user WHERE userid='$userid'");
doformheader("user","updateaccess",0,0);
makehiddencode("userid","$userid");
echo "<div align=center><h3>User Forum Access for <i>$user[username]</i></h3></div>";
echo "<tr class='firstalt'><td colspan=2><p>Here you may edit forum access on a user-by-user basis.
<BR>Selecting \"yes\" will allow this user access to the forum. Selecting \"no\" will deny this user access to the forum. Any changes made to this user's account will override the default permission settings in their usergroup.
<br><br>Selecting \"default\" will revert this user to the default permissions settings for their usergroup.
<BR><br>(Please note that the permission inheritance system still works here)
<br><br>(Ensure that you have access masks enabled before attempting to use these!)</p></td></tr>\n";
echo "<br>";
echo "<ul>\n";
accessmasks(-1);
echo "</ul>\n";
doformfooter("Save Changes");
}
Thats it!
PS. Devlopers / Moderators - i wasnt sure if i copied and
pasted too much code in the above, well actually i rewrote most
of it, but based on your principles in the modify forums section. If
its too much, please feel free to delete it, but because i didnt
know...!

Another excellent hack, I like it - thanks for sharing I wonder if a Usergroup version of this one could be made? Another vB admin nightmare out of the way

Im not sure what use this would be for 'usergroups'.
If by chance you mean 'Modify Forums' with that massive list of usergroups for each forum, im already working on that one, well i actually started it before
All ive basically done, is make all of the sublists foldable trees. You might have seen this somewhere, for example, press F1.
IE Required, but i was thinking of making it alot more simple, as in have the first five letters of each usergroup, and have them all on one line.

Having 120+ forums with 12 usergroups....
Yep, Modify Forums is the one I was thinking of - its a nightmare at the moment when I add a new usergroup it has default permissions on existing private forums, so I gotta go through them all and set them Time consuming processes, and takes a lot longer each time a new forum or group is added :/
Anyway, if I could change the usergroups either in the same way as above, or many at once (current takes about 10 or more clicks for usergroup, per forum) I would be a lot happier!

Yep, once ive finished the style hack, ill work on this one.
At the moment, i have a smart folding tree for it, which can be found at www.dynamicdrive.com , took a bit to get it to work, but im going to change the system.
Going thru every forum it a nightmare! (im still thinking about a new method i can make)
