As an alternate method how easy would it be able to adapt the debugging tools to give a label tool, to hover over a part of your site and the pointer give you the address of the file within your html side of things, mainly for graphics say? that way if something was amiss on your site you'd easily be able to track it down, especially in add on modules.
I am just trying to ensure that all settings on site are as co-operative as possible and something I am doing is not stupid so to speak.
I am following the latest Forum module posts with intrest as CBB 3.08 seems to be the highest hit performance wise on our site. In the past it seemed okay when logged out but when logged in it did seem to take a hit responsewise when in the forum.
Hence my complete new install of the whole site and trying to see what impacts various access priviledges had.
I use a few groups on our site for various priviledges, with various people belonging to multiple groups.
Mainly restricting access to certain blocks and forum rights within cbb 3.08
I have done a clean rebuild of 2.4.4 over the last week as our hosts were blaming xoops for poor performance not letting go of various DB handles etc.
Hence I bit the bullet and did a total new build on a new DB and imported the data table by table - with no members on we still suffered slowdowns so our hosts moved the server we were on as it is shared another site could have been hogging the server but over the years with various moves before I took over the admin we have had performance issues and I wondered if something we have done could effect things.
Now I finally get to the question! phew!
Would having members belonging to various groups hit the performanceof the site at all, most users only really seem to use the forums.
Or would it have negligible impact upon the site?
Should I for instance take the time duplicate all the various permissions accross from a Registered user into the various custom groups I have along with those custom groups settings and then have each member only belong to a single set group?
I know it would be a bit of a repetitive task to go through - would I gain anything from it?
I have updated the modules, erm how soon is the 2.4.4 to be likely, it maybe prudent for me to wait for that rather than rebuilding from a total clean 2.4.3 install?
