Hey,
I am wanting to make a new group for people in my clan [SnP] but for the ones that aren't mods or admins. Like having a rank of 10? How could I go about doing this. Is there some sort of plugin I would need because I can't find one in the downloads section one that fits right. I saw one that gives a lot of groups but I don't think that is right unless it can be modified. Cheers.

Can't you use group 2 (regulars)? That leaves group 1 (registered) for non clan members.

Ok. But am I able to change the name of it at all. I don't want it just being "regulars" I want if for my clan specific. Is it not possible to change it at all or entirely create a new group because one day I will probably accidently !makereg someone that isn't in the clan because I forget or something like that.
Thanks

In you're database there is a table called groups, you can either edit the name field on the regular group, or create a new entry that follows the other groups as a guide.

Valid settings would probably be;

id=4, name=Clan Member, keyword=clanmember, level=10

That will presrve the bitset on the id, and give them an intermediary level. Note that if you do this Echelon 1, may loose the ability to put people into this group/tell they are in that group (I forget if it does or not) Echelon 2 will still be able to access people in that group/put people in to and out of it. To get you're clan members into that new group (if you don't repurpose the regular group) you would do;

 !putgroup PersonsNameHere clanmember

Thanks. Although could you direct me to where it would be. I can't seem to be able to find it.

You would have to do that in that database using a tool such as phpmyadmin

Additionally have a look at http://forum.bigbrotherbot.net/downloads/?sa=view;down=88 for help on how to modify the groups table.

Also you might find the Advanced Groups plugin interesting.

I don't get how that advanced admin plugin is helpful. It seems that it just puts people in more than one group. I don't see how it can create a group. There are no commands for that.
Also I downloaded Phpmyadmin but the folder it is has tonnes of files in it. What do I do with it?
I'm on a mac and I'm new to this b3 stuff so it has some getting used to.

Also I was wondering if someone could help me with that tagprotect plugin. I got it installed but everytime I try a command it says "there was an error processing your command"
It comes with a .sql to add in but where would that go. Would that be causing my problems?

Cheers guys I know I'm being annoying...

Can't help you much on that, I haven't looked at the plugin, but I can guess part of the setup is making more groups (and no, there won't be a command, just a .sql file... but we will get to that)

So once you have it, all you need to do is upload all those files (like a website) to a webserver with... php... and then visit it like a website. It will then ask for your mysql login details.
Note: If you upload it to webspace that is not on the same box as the mysql server b3 is using, you will need to mod phpmyadmin to connect to there.
Once it is uploaded and connecting to mysql, all you need to do is execute the sql files... for a video guide on how to execute .sql files on a database, see phase 2 on this page... http://www.bigbrotherbot.net/videotuts it should help some.

Yes, you will need to execute the .sql file for it to work. See above for help with that.
