Can only PM moderator

[endanagle]

I have recently installed vBulletin 3.5 to replace a forum we had developed in-house. I'm very happy with it over all but there is one feature I was wondering if someone else had worked on or knew of a workaround for...

I have disabled the PM feature in the forum, but would like to have it so that users can PM a moderator (or just me..), but never PM each other.

Any ideas or pointers for me please?

Thanks

I doubt this is the best way of doing it, but off the top of my head I would suggest giving your Registered Users usergroup a Maximum Stored Messages limit of 0 (you can do this under Usergroup Manager -> Registered Users). And leave the Moderators/Admins with the default figure.

Again, not sure if that's the best way of going about it but that's all I can come up with right now...

By the way you posted in the wrong section. ;)

I could have sworn I'd already posted a response to your question!

You can modify this mod: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=102338

In the XML file of that mod you will see:



<phpcode><![CDATA[if ($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == 3)



If you change that "==3" to your registered user group (normally 2) then your registered users will only be able to send PMs to your mods and admins.

Thanks Darat,

That's exactly what I was looking for.
