    Hi Robin

    About this plugin :

    Private groups

    I would like to make sure before installing it that it wouldn’t mess with my ecommerce theme profiles

    I think it only applies to forum roles, but i prefer to ask before just in case 🙂

    Thanks a lot for your great plugins 🙂

    nit knowing what your ‘ecommerce theme profiles’ does code wise, I cannot guarantee, but suspect it should be ok, this plugin affects what is displayed, not how it looks

    Hi

    What does exactly this plugin in the background ? it creates a new field “group” for users ?
    and then checks for groups to check if group can see or not a forum ?

    tx

    essentially yes,

    users belong to groups and forums belong to groups. so this plugin looks at every time a display of forum/topic/reply is about to happen, and checks that the user is allowed to see the forum/topic/reply because the user is a member of the group that the forum belongs to.

    Ok thank you 🙂

    and no risk of impacting performance ?

    Thank you

    everything impacts performance – the weight of your car’s headlights affects the performance of your car, but you balance the ability to drive at night against losing a tiny tiny bit of speed.

    This plugin does 2 quick db lookups when displaying forums/topics/replies – you’ll not see anything that is measurable

    🙂
