spazz Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 I have been struggling for a week and a half looking through the files and either I am blind which is possible or I am totally off track. I want to create a new user group replicating the the members group. I want to call it the Welcome Wagon or something along those lines. I want this new usergroup to appear in the staff list screen so new members will know who to turn to for help. My question is, is there an easy way to create a new group or modify the permissions of lets say the IRC Op group. You would think there would be a way to create groups built in Quote
UCC Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 Re: New User Group Or perhaps you simply do not know a thing about programming? This is really quite simple. Modify the stafflist.php page to query the new user_level with the others and display accordingly. You can pretty much copy whatever is already there. Then you have to modify view_user.php to display the new name for applicable users. Finally, you would want to doublecheck all the staff pages to make sure this new user_level does not have access to additional features you do not want them to have. Change permissions accordingly by modifying the If statements which abort each function. So there are a few steps but the process is quite painless if you have basic php knowledge. Quote

Why are you so condescending, I don't claim to know programming which is why I don't have a fancy coders club badge, which is why I come here for a little help. This is really quite simple.

Thank you for this. That is all I was looking for. Quote
