[HELP] I have some advanced questions

[Ferocia]

Hiya..

I use smf 1.1 beta3..
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My first question is..:
How can i hide boards to certain membergroups?

My forum will have a Staff Board and i only want moderators and admins to see it..
I know how to block the access for groups.. but once they login they do see the board is there..
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My second question is..:
Once u submit your reply you will be send back to the board index with the topic..
How can i make it like; you will be send back to the actual topic (your own reply) after submitting?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My third question is a hard one (thats what i think )..:
I wanna have normal Moderators and Board Moderators (besides the Global mods and admins)..
--------------------------------------------
The Board moderators will be assigned to certain boards and only have moderating-rights on their board.. (now that is easy since i can just assign them too a board)
but!.. I still want them to be shown as Board Moderators in all the other boards aswell.. (without the rights)..
So... They will be able to visit the hidden staff board since they are Board Moderators and so they are members of the Staff! (they wont have mod-rights there though..)
This is possible by making them moderator on every board but change the permissions per board so they dont have mod-rights on others then there own.... But that is one hell of a lot of work!
--------------------------------------------
That was the Board Moderator part... Now i also want Moderators.. But i wont have to assign them to boards.. they will just be able to Moderate on every single board! (Same as global mods but global mods have more rights, for example banning..)
If this works out i should be able to assign ppl as mods on the members section in the admin-panel..
(Now im not since SMF see's normal Mods as the Board Mods i want and i have to assign the normal moderators to boards.. But they wont be mods if i dont put their name on the board..)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok.. sorry for the long story and the bad english... I hope you understood it.. Plz help me..
I know this is all possible since i saw it on another smf forum.. But How can i do this easily? (without having to put different permissions to every board.. (my forum has like 30 boards.. so..))

Thanks,
Regards,

It sounds like you just need to create new member groups and give those groups the permissions you want.  Then edit the profile of the members you want to have this new title and set it as primary membergroup.

Yah.. i fixed the board moderator/moderator part now... I just made 2 new membergroups and i did not use the smf-predefined moderator group.. Then i gave the moderator normal moderating rights.. so it can now moderate at every single board.. and the board moderator has the same rights as normal members on other boards and the same rights as moderators on their board.. (but no mather what board they are.. they still have the rank board moderator) ... Finally it works.. Also they can now visit the staff board and stuff..

But my first 2 questions arent fixed yet..
How can i hide boards to certain membersgroups.. (so they just dont know it is there)

And how can someone be send to his own reply or to the topic after submitting a reply.. (cuz now you will be send to the board index)..

It seems like i fixed my first question too...

At the membergroups i could just untick a box (at the: Boards the Membergroups can see)

Aah.. the reason why they werent hidden is because i forgot to untick the general-user group too..
