Restrict Group Permissions

[MPDesignZ]

Hello I need to restrict one user group from being allowed to view or upload to the coppermine gallery at all until they are promoted to the next member group in vbulletin. I already have vbulletin set up with this, but need my coppermine to do the same thing.

I'm running coppermine 1.4 & vbulletin 3.6.2

I just need to know what code to modify, what file and what to put into the code to restrict the user group.

TIA!

- You can set upload permission by Group manager
- To set view permission you should set each album properties sperately

Please read documentation for more info

Thanks but that does not help. I have many member groups and only want to restrict one group from seeing the gallery. The view permissions only allows you to select what group CAN view the gallery album. I want all groups except guests & one member group to see the gallery completely. I've already set the config for guests to not see the gallery, but need to have this one member group also excluded from seeing the gallery as well. They have to post in the forum first in a rules thread before getting access to the rest of the site.


Thanks

I don't have an answer, but would like one to this question as well....

Well, Coppermine doesn't have a permission system on such a granular level. If you need this feature, you'll have to code it in. As a workaround, create yet another group, make all users except the ones that are not suppossed to see the pic members of the new group (as secondary group) and then set viewing permissions.

Are you talking in vbulletin? I have 900 members! I'm afraid that won't work. I just need to know what code I need to modify to set one user group id to not be able to view the gallery ever.

Such a feature doesn't exist. You need it -> you code it.

Well that's very business like.  I just asked for what files & where to change the code. Gee thanks you have been SOOOOOOOO helpful.

Well, if you don't ilke this kind of answers and prefer the open source version, you better not use business apps like vb in the first place, since it is a commercial, closed-source app that we're not familiar with and can't look into the code even if we wanted to.

I just asked for what files & where to change the code.

Telling you what files need changing would require me to code this for you. I can't just tell you out of the back of my head what needs to be changed. This is not a trivial task: more granular permission management for coppermine has been requested frequently. It isn't easy to accomplish (if it was, we would have applied it long time ago). If it just was some lines of code, I (or someone else) would have posted them. In fact,

You need it -> you code it.

is the short version of the answer. The long version would be: what you request is beyond the scope of what you can expect of a supporter to provide on this free support board. If you need it badly, code it yourself or hire someone to code it for you. You can expect support with existing features of the application, but you can not expect us to come up with your custom code.

Gee thanks you have been SOOOOOOOO helpful.

Review your attitude. This is free support. Let's see your contributions to the community before you can demand things or flame supporters.
