Threadmins and Group Moderators v2.0.1 (Beta) Released!

Hi everyone,

Today brings the next beta release of version 2 of Threadmins and Group Moderators... and Group Moderators has arrived at last!

This release (still under a beta tag) adds the ability to manage Moderators via their usergroups. The system allows you to add via the Admin Control Panel moderator permissions for each usergroup on a per forum basis. When saved each user of the usergroup has moderator permissions added equal to what their usergroup settings are. If a user belongs to more than one usergroup that has Group Moderator permissions, they will gain the best permissions from the two (for example one usergroup allows soft deleting, the other hard deleting, the user will get the hard deleting permissions).

The permissions available are identical to a regular moderator. Since this is a beta release, please test carefully the settings you want (we would recommend on a test board first). There are three maintenance features as well that will let you ensure that no moderator permissions are left when a user or usergroup is changed or deleted, another will check that each permissions exists correctly for a particular usergroup, and the other is a fail safe system allowing you to remove all Group Moderator settings with one click, including removing new moderators added to the moderator table by this mod.

There are several areas that we know may not work correctly, including promotions and joined usergroups. We will be working to correct those for the next release.

So the full changelog is

Feature: Can add Group Moderators.
Feature: Can delete all Group Moderators and reset the system via the Maintenance menu option.
Feature: Can recalculate all Group Moderators permissions via the Maintenance menu option.
Feature: Can delete orphaned or redundant Group Moderator permissions via the Maintenance menu option.
