You Have Been Banned (!VISUALLY!)

[drumforum]

Hello,

when we ban a user, a clear message doesn't appear when they attempt to log in telling them they've been banned.

What I would like is is a mod that displays a box, similar to the no permission one, with a bit of text (custom?) to pop up on the index page and if possible all other pages too.

Thanks as always

Adam

Pretty easy


<if condition="$usergroupcache["$userinfo[usergroupid]"]['genericoptions'] & ISBANNEDGROUP">
<!-- Your text here -->
</if>


Please note that this will not work in Templates where $usergroupcache isn't available.

Thank you very much :)

Stupid question now.... Where do I put it?

:S

Thanks

Another method I used:

global.php:
Find: // ################################################## ###########################
// check permission to view forum

Above it add:

if (is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 8))
{
$errormessage = "Oops! It appears you aren't welcome here.";
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('STANDARD_ERROR') . '");');
}

where 8 is your banned group

Could also be done in phlinclude_start (or hook global_start for vBulletin 3.5).

I think in 3.5 it tells you if you have been banned.
