A simple hack

When creating a new usergroup, this hack allows you to specify a usergroup to "clone" or be equal too. I have many private forums and usergroups, all with different permissions. By default when a new usergroup is added, it has no forum permissions on private forums. On large boards, correcting this is a time consuming and tedious task - just to create 1 more community hosted forum!

Heres how it works in prinicipal:

Click Add new Usergroup.
Fill in all the usual stuff and default permissions.
Select from the drop down list the existing usergroup you would like the new usergroup to clone.
A list of forum permissions is grabbed from the forumpermission table
There are then re-inserted into the database under the new usergroup id.

This is my first hack!

I'd really appreciate any suggestions on how to tidy up the code or make it more efficient.

But as you add new hacks that require setting permissions, don't you have to constantly update this or it will not clone all the permissions for the various hacks?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
