No, I am not ReCom. I just thought I would put out some comments to try to help because it looked like there was a path wrong somewhere along the lines. But, if you think the paths are all correct, then fine.

Done 
Hmmm, seels like Scheduled Tasks don't accept filenames with query string attached ...

Two alternatives:
  1. Either forget about scheduled tasks and simply invoke the forumswitch.php manually at specified time
  2. Or wrap the forumswitch.php code into a function that takes the $enable value (true/false), and then create two separate files that include the forumswitch.php and call the function with either true or false respectively. Use these separate files in the scheduled tasks.

I ended up simplifying this:

forumswitchoff.php looks like this:
PHP Code:
<?php
$vbulletin->db->query_read("UPDATE ".TABLE_PREFIX."forum SET options=options - 2 WHERE (options & 2) AND `forumid` IN ('111','81','33','39','105','125','84','52','75','86','51','76')");
build_forum_permissions();
?>
forumswitchon.php looks like this:
PHP Code:
<?php
$vbulletin->db->query_read("UPDATE ".TABLE_PREFIX."forum SET options=options + 2 WHERE NOT (options & 2) AND `forumid` IN ('111','81','33','39','105','125','84','52','75','86','51','76')");
build_forum_permissions();
?>

Cool. I didn't know we can do math in SQL queries :o

SemperFideles 12-02-2008 12:52 PM
The format you gave me was critical for the IN command as well as how to put a db query inside a PHP file. The format for the actual SQL query to turn a forum on or off was in the VBulletin 3.7 tricks forum at vbulletin.com. I really appreciate your help or I wouldn't have been able to do it.
