[Suggestion] Custom Preset Permissions


Subject: [Suggestion] Custom Preset Permissions
For boards with a lot of forums. I often have problems when I create a new forum, setting all permissions... What do you think about having the possibility to save some preset "customed permissions combination" ?

We have the phpBB preset "Reg" "Reg [Hidden]" and so on... I think it could be useful to save our customed combinations for a better administration... what do you think about it?

I think it's a brilliant idea. Surprised no-one else has suggested it. Hope someone can implement it for IP.

Aren't the default settings working fine?

Which kind of settings you would like to have?

Try to edit includes/def_auth.php and post it here... :wink:

Yes, I think it would be useful for each admin to be able to create thier own pre-sets, rather than have a greater list of presets to choose from.

I don't think it is so important... new forums should'nt be created so often... in some cases it is better to have only simple things. :wink:

Only for people with an existing board - the majority of their forums will probably be created an permissions already set. However, when someone is setting up a new board, as I did recently, it would have helped to have customisable presets that I could configure right from the word go. It would have saved me an awful lot of work.

This is where it would prove most useful.

In Icy Phoenix I've added back a feature which allows you to set permissions at once for all forums with one click... it's not the same, but it is helpful.

Anyway, now you know how to customize the presets, you need just to edit two lines... :wink:
