Regarding groups, I am hoping that at some point we can also restrict adds to a non-paying group

Or have three levels of ads.

1) Guests get all the standard ads and also an extra one or three in a thread

2) Members get standard ads and perhaps just one in a thread

3) Contributing members get no adverts.

I think this would encourage more people to contribute towards the running of a site.

well, with multiple groups, you can have N-levels actually with this scheme in place..

so i wouldn't see that as a problem.

I think with the content island displaying the ad it would be simple enough to do an if/then for group membership at the top to show/hide the content island

agreed allen.

with the hard part really being the admin interface as well as the cached db interface.. the checks in the code are very simple..

example to check for if a user has PM capability from the permission matrix they would do:



the only difference between checking for other group features is just a simple matter of replacing 'pm' with 'avatar' or 'search' or.......

you get the idea

Well done, SD! I like this mod. So would it be possible to add something like, "Member is in private moderation"? That would be cool. I also like your "rule the world" idea.

although this mod might be 'great', i'd not suggest using it if you intend to go to 7.3.

this was only a temporary one for a customer who couldn't wait.

7.3 should have this kinda functionality and more a part of STOCK.

it was a kind of quickie brain dump on a friday afternoon/evening kinda thing..

just 2c

I like it a lot - I wonder how close it would be to the stuff in 7.3?

i'd expect 7.3 to be more expansive, from what i have gleaned..

yeh, I think Rick wants to appease all of us permission monkeys so we stop whining about global moderators and payment methodized groups...

..er i'm not whining about it... so this 'we' thing... must be other peeps..

Hey, I stopped whining some time ago; you know, when he mentioned he was planning to work on the permission system ... lol

no, you don't whine giz... i'd more liken it (in a nice way of course) to the little dog at the party who keeps following you around and trying to hump your leg

What a coincidence, that is me at a party... Though I end up on more leg's than what you'd think... ...

You should see me at the clubs with a few (8) drinks in me :X
