Usegroup abilities legend

[bigwest]

It seems to me there should be a easy way that I could allow my members to see what abilities each usergroup has. That way they may want to become a paying contributer when they can see what a bronze, silver or gold member can do.

Currently I have to maintain a post with a manually created table that outlines the various usergroup abilities accompanied with a "upgrade today" link that takes them to ...forums/payments.php. Since this information is already stored in the usergroup database it seems such a hack would be easy to create.

It would look something like....

Registered member
- Can edit posts: YES
- Can create polls: YES
- Avatar: No
- Avatar size: N/A
- etc.

Subscriber
- Can edit posts: YES
- Can create polls: YES
- Avatar: Yes
- Avatar size: 100x100
- etc.

Can this be done??

as the "can edit posts" etc are based on each forum configuration across your board, it would be irrelevant to display them in a page where the variables can't be check... for the other details, as they change when you apply more usergroups to a user, this would be a lot of calculations...

besides, you can write them yourself in your subscription description, you've done it actually, here!..

OK so maybe certain items wouldn't be included if they are forum specific (I was just giving examples) but things like avatar and signature permissions are site wide.

And why would it take extra calculations? Its already being calculated in your AdminCP. Isn't it simply a entry in the database?
