Allow usergroups to view forum, if forum turned off.

[Stoebi]

Based on the idea of Mephisteus Allow usergroups to view disabled board (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=114783)
Many thx to KirbyDE for his help

This version works with vB 3.5.4 and 3.6.x. No file, db, templates changes needed.
Import the product and have "fun". Please delete older versions and copy (reinstall) the original file global.php back from your vBulletin archive.

AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> Turn Your vBulletin On and Off -> Allow usergroups to view disabled board

Default = 5,7 ( Moderators, Super Moderators)


You'll find 4 files in the archive file:
product-vdb_270906_354_de for vB 3.5.4 language german
product-vdb_270906_354_en for vB 3.5.4 language english
product-vdb_270906_36x_de for vB 3.6.x language german
product-vdb_270906_36x_en for vB 3.6.x language english

Question: Is there a way to MOD the script to check the *NIX Server Load Limit Setting?

I mean when the Admin sets it to a certain level... the script kicks in and shuts the board off automatically?

[CCWBumper]

Thanks, this is exactly what I was wishing I had as I move my forum from one domain to another.... :)

[dazed12]

excellent mod!

Installed. This is Great, Thanks

Very Interesting Hack, Stoebi!! :up:

Do You Know If It Works With vBulletin 3.6.7 PL1?? ;)

My Best Regards!! ;)

:)

[Awjvail]

This works fine on 3.6.8 PL2.

[dtv100]

This works fine on 3.6.8 PL2.
second that test on my forum and work well .

[mtlcore]

does it work with quick reply??

[pantec]

When this is active how do you still give access to the USER CP AREA ???

*The reason to access the user cp area is to update.. ie: a subscription to change the members status from a normally registered member to a VIP Member who would then be given access when this MOD is active.

I hope there is a change to either this script or to something in vBulletin to give users the option to access the USER CP Area when this MOd is activated.

Hope to hear back soon! :)

[Fingerprints]

Works perfectly on 3.6.8! Thank you muchly. :D

[Mike-D]

Works perfectly on 3.6.8! Thank you muchly. :DYep, but it doesn't work on 3.6.10 or especially not on 3.7 :(

[hcmagix]

Peter is ill and told me posting follow solution here:

search Hook admin_options_processing with title VDB - usergroup options saving

replace the content with

if ($oldsetting['varname'] == bbactive_groups)
{
$settings["$oldsetting[varname]"] = implode(',', $vbulletin->GPC['setting']['bbactive_groups']);
}

[SirHappy]

Working in my 3.7.1 now..
Thx a lot.

[underdog1954]

It's not working for me... I am running 3.7.3 PL1, and it takes the staff back to the off message, just like the normal off setting in the original setup.

Got any suggestions??

Thanks,
underdog1954

[boatswife]

Find this in the product file
<title>VDB - usergroup options saving</title>
<hookname>admin_options_processing</hookname>
<phpcode><![CDATA[if (is_array($vbulletin->GPC['setting']['bbactive_groups']))
{
$vbulletin->GPC['setting']['bbactive_groups'] = implode(',', $vbulletin->GPC['setting']['bbactive_groups']);
}]]></phpcode>
</plugin>
<plugin active="1" executionorder="5">


and replace with this
<title>VDB - usergroup options saving</title>
<hookname>admin_options_processing</hookname>
<phpcode><![CDATA[if ($oldsetting['varname'] == bbactive_groups)
{
$settings["$oldsetting[varname]"] = implode(',', $vbulletin->GPC['setting']['bbactive_groups']);
}]]></phpcode>
</plugin>
<plugin active="1" executionorder="5">


It's the same as what's posted above, but easier to figure out. This is working fine for me in 3.8

Thank you.
I'm trying to register, but I can't get past the word verification. I type two words with a space and two words without a space. Either way it keeps telling me it's invalid.

[boatswife]

Never mind......was doing something stupid and now I'm registered! LOL

[Markos]
