Warning Bar viewable to specific staff groups

[spiffshine]

Warning bars are set to staff only on my forum, but I would like to restrict it further to only be viewable by certain staff groups. Is this possible through a plugin?

Thank you ®i©hie. I'll go give it a whirl right now!

EDIT: It only half works. If I only allow Moderator to view, then the warning bars are hidden to me (an administrator). As soon as I add Global Moderator to the list, then all of the other staff groups (including me) can see them as well.



EDIT 2: I have tried enabling only one staff group at a time. The restrictions work for just Moderator or Design Admin. All other staff groups seem to break the plugin.

re-download please.

Edit: now it should work. if it doesn't please reply back with your forum URL.

Sorry for my delayed response ®i©hie. Unfortunately, I am experiencing the same problem with the new version.

I can make the plugin do what I need by restricting views to only Moderator and Design Admin. I simply have to add all of my Global Moderators and regular Admin to the Moderator group so they appear in both groups.

try this:

Warning Bar Staff View Restriction.pbp (467 B)

after you install it go to the "manage" tab in the plugin section:

tstappedout.proboards.com/admin/plugins/manage#manage-container-tab

click the "edit button" under the "Permissions" column for that plugin and set "Who can view this plugin..." to "staff", then click "Except members in the groups:" and set which group you want to see warning bars.

Hey ®i©hie. Thanks again for creating this for me. It has been a great addition to our forum! I think the thread can be marked "Completed" now instead of "In Progress". You rock!
