And why would you see admin if it is group moderator feature?!

Well, some panel that allows the Group Mod to add the members to the group.  I don't get anything right now, it's as if I never did anything.

Unless I've completely misunderstood what the mod is supposed to do.

Oh, it's no problem.  Unfortunately I still don't seem to have a function anywhere.  I'm trying the mod on both a 1.05 and public beta forum and neither seem to have it, though I know it is installed.

No no.

It is there, and it is completely unrelated to the admin functions. It can be accessed at http://yourforum/index.php?action=groups

I haven't made it put buttons anywhere because it is a feature that will only be used by a very few people. Later expanded versions will include buttons.

However, a member will not see anything except for a blank table unless they are a mod over a group. To set group moderators, edit the groups in the admin panel.

Ohhh I see it now, hehe.  I have an RPG forum so we have about 50+ private boards and membergroups which becomes very time consuming for me to maintain.  That's why this mod comes in handy so much.  I can't thank you enough!

Actually, one last question.  Is there a possibility to have a membergroup be Group Mods for another membergroup?

Instead of going through 40 membergroups/priv forums to add a Group Mod to each, I'd be adding the 10 or so separate membergroups that contain my forum moderators that moderate those 40 different membergroups/priv forums.  I hope that makes sense. lol

[The next step will be allowing mods to add and remove members of their group.
Gotcha.  Good luck, am looking forward to it.  :D

No, its all finished. version 1.0a-c all work. they can add and delete.

Having groups manage other groups? Possibly in the future i could do that i suppose.. but not for now.

My Plans for this mod:

Current
  • Admin (or people with the manage_membergroups) permission can set group moderator(s) to non-post-count groups, excluding admin and moderator.
  • These Group moderators can manage the groups they have permissions over, by going to http://yourforum/index.php?action=groups they can add and delete members just like the admins can. This part is almost identical to the admin panel.

Future
  • Group descriptions editable by group mods and admin.
  • Setting to specify whether to add members to either primary/secondary or to secondary only. accessible to admins only.
  • Permission and action for viewing the groups page
  • Group applications.
  • Buttons etc
  • display settings:
    • group overview visible to all/members/none (mods will always be able to view it)
    • number of members visible to all/members/none
    • member list visible to all/members/none (dependant on the above of course)

Possibly more.

Suggestion: allow group moderators to send PM's and/or emails to members of the groups they moderate.  This would really come in useful for me.

Group PMs? That is a good idea. Probably not too hard to do either.

admins should be always able to show the groups (index.php?action=groups).
because now a admin is not able to show the groups if he is not in the moderator group
or am i wrong???

(i am using smf 1.1b3)

For now you see nothing special as an admin (because you can see everything in the admin panel anyway). But i will change this in future versions.

Is it maybe also possible to give the group moderator a link in his profile like we have now as:

Account Related Settings
Forum Profile Information

But then for the group moderator panel? Since I know allot of ppl hate it to install new buttons (as do I.. :P) Specialy since it's not available yet for that theme..
Check this out..!!

Well...  Nice... But, it would be great if you could make group moderators for the admin and global moderator groups, which are the groups you need it the most for......
Please add in the next version: Admin/Moderator groups support...

Otherwise, it is a great mod

I think that would be too much of a security risk. And besides, any admin already has full control, and on my forum at least, GMods have normal group control as well.

It seems to be working great for my community.  The only issue I have is that when a group mod adds a player to his membergroup, that membergroup is added as the primary membergroup for that person and thus put in his title.  How can I get it so that it is made secondary?  Thanks a bunch.

I'm not sure. That will be essential for the next version. It's bad if that group doesn't have permissions, cause then they won't be able to do anything.

This mod may prove useful to you.  My forum makes heavy use of secondary groupage so these two mods combined have been essential.

Well, the issue that I am having is that when a Group Mod places someone in that membergroup, it gets put as their Primary membergroup.  When that happens, it gives them the membergroup title, which is always a private board name that I'd rather not disclose to the other players, and it takes away board access to other boards that membergroup does not have access to, that they otherwise would.

I did just install the multiple group names mod though, and it is really nice, thanks for auggesting it!  I may end up using it for the forum after I figure out what to do with this current problem. :D
