1)  Downloaded clean 7.5 patched (2.6) version of Nuke and install vanilla


2)  Installed NSN Groups 1.5.0 as per instructions (verified that received NO error messages from running nsngr.php as a new install and also checked in phpMyAdmin to ensure the groups fields were present in the three tables).


3)  Created two users, call it User1 and User2 for this purpose


4)  Created two User Groups, call them Group1 and Group2 for this purpose


5)  Assigned User1 to Group1 and User2 to Group2


6)  Edited blocks to Deactivate everything except Home/News, Content, Downloads and Your Account (just to help make the menu smaller to see the results of my testing)


7)  Edited block for Content to be for Groups Only and tied to Group1


8)  Edited block for Download to be for Groups Only and tied to Group2


9)  Verified from the Group admin user list that all the users and groups were tied properly


10) Logged out of Admin


11)  Logged in to User1 --> NO change in the menu (i.e., Content did not show up)


12)  Logged out of User1 and Logged in to User2 --> same result (no Download).

3. Use


------


To use this module, just copy the files to the directories listed above. Then import


the included sql file before running the scripts. One imported you can start adding


groups and users to the groups.





You can now assign blocks, messages, and modules that only group(s) users can view :)





If you want admin status to over-ride groups status open includes/nsngr_func.php and find:


    /*if (is_admin($admin)) {


        return 1;


    } else*/if (is_user($user)) {





this appears in two functions, in_group() and in_groups(), then change it to:


    if (is_admin($admin)) {


        return 1;


    } elseif (is_user($user)) {
