I was thinking about the fact that snitz forum has only three group levels by default: normal user, moderator and administrator. But what if someone wanted to create a supervisor moderator. I know that there is a mod that sets thing up to normal user, moderator, global moderator, supervisor admin, super admin, master admin. But those are pre-made groups. I thought about a mod that lets you choose the color, and permissions. Something like: permission to lock: yes/no permission to edit profile: yes/no etch... and also, to divide normal users in more categories. a simple example would be: italians on active user list are red, english blue... and so on. Levels&levl permission + level deciding are up to admins & oter people with that permission. Is it possible? < |

| If you were feeling ambitious enough, you could probably finagle the UserGroup MOD to do what you want. I'd try to plan it out specifically (and I mean work out all the specifics) on paper before you attempt to code anything. What it sounds like you are asking for has a lot of potential to get very complicated very fast.< |

what you are asking for would not really be possible without a virtual rewrite of the entire code, the levels are pretty much entrenched in the way the whole forum works.
The .net version will allow much more flexibility since you can create roles and assign users to them, however you would still need to edit a large junk of code in order to allow those roles to actually do anything like edit or lock other posts, since the code cannot be made to act generically in that way.< |

But so the "Admins Level" mod rewrites the entire code!?  oh my... i'd like to get the .NET version, but it's still BETA, do you think it's prudent to use it as active forum< |

the .Net version is not yet available for download and currently there is no ETA as to when it will be.
basically the forum is only designed to work with the 3 users types of admin/moderator/user, to make it function in any other way would require extensive coding in the core forum files, mainly because the functionality you are asking for is not there and can not be coded for generically, so to add a new group/role would mean having to write code to either permit or deny it access to particular functions.< |
