Closed forum Permissions

[Beams]

I have asked on vbulletin.com and was told to ask here :)


Turn Your vBulletin on and off
Bulletin Board Active
From time to time, you may want to turn your bulletin board off to the public while you perform maintenance, update versions, etc. When you turn your BB off, visitors will receive a message that states that the bulletin board is temporarily unavailable. Administrators will still be able to see the board


Is there away to allow mods access to the forum when its closed plz

Thanks

In global.php replace this:
$permissions=getpermissions();
if (!$permissions['cancontrolpanel']) {
With this:
$permissions=getpermissions();
if (!$permissions['cancontrolpanel'] and !$permissions['ismoderator']) {
:)

FF - I have tried this and still my mod's can't get in? Any ideas

[Xenon]

this is just for supermods :)

if you change it into this:

$permissions=getpermissions();
if (!$permissions['cancontrolpanel'] and !$permissions['ismoderator'] and !$DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid FROM moderator WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]") {

it should work for normal mods also

Great thanks for the super quick reply -I had changed my one mod to a supermod and relised ithas work with the origal code ajustment. I will change it over to you MOD code adjustment.

Is it possible to set it up for both mod's and supermods

[Xenon]

did this work? i believe there is a hack that allows you to choose which usergroups can access the forum whe nits turned off...i have it installed too i think.

also i have a questioon, how do i check what usergroup has which usergroup number???

[Xenon]

in the ACP when you modify usergroups you can see the id in the link to the modification page
