[ ? ] Extra Threadfields Usegroup Permissions

[Lebron James]

Hello,

Does Extra Threadfields support Usergroup permissions?
For example, I would like to limit the viewing & display of specific extra threadfields to specific usergroups.

You can limit who can edit them after the thread is posted. However, in terms of who can view the fields, I suggest you look into manual placement, discussed in this thread:

With Manual Placement, you can set the field's display to 0 (making it not automatically appear in listings), and edit the threadbit and/or postbit template to include something like the following:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 'x'">$thread[fieldy]</if>

Where x is the usergroup id you'd like to allow to view the field, and y is the field id.

Will Usergroup permissions be a standard feature in a future release?

[Gio~Logist]

It's definitely a possibility. Just in terms of who can view, correct?

[Lebron James]

Yes, specifying who can use the field would be a welcome addition also, but not required at this time.
Maybe other users are interested in that.

[Gio~Logist]

Gotcha. Well for now it's definitely something I can note on the to-do list. In the meantime, If you'd like additional assistance after making a purchase to apply your customization accordingly, I am definitely available.

Will keep ya posted

Thanks for your assistance.
I will probably purchase Answer Forums & wait for the next Extra Threadfields update.
