In your code snippet you were already using $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']

Or you mean that instead of that I should use $vbulletin['userid']?

Any ideas please?

Whoops, I misread my code - the variable name is incorrect. But, I don't think the parenthesis are correct which I stated before. Please check them before trying that code.

What variable name is incorrect? $vbulletin['userid'] or $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']?

Or even better, this is the code that you posted:


I have been playing with the parenthesis for hours with no luck. Maybe because I'm not a programmer. Could you please take a look?

I meant my variable name was correct (argh, I guess I didn't have enough coffee before I posted).

I see 5 left parenthesis and 4 right parenthesis. That isn't going to work.

Not working :(

Tried with these variations, still no luck:

This one makes no effect at all.

This one partially works: prevents any admin (and not only the ones in the array) to access the forums when closed.

if (!($vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['cancontrolpanel']) OR in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'],array(1,2)))

Try OR and forget the not... I have the in_array part right, but wasn't looking at the logic. This is why I do things on my test site - so I can try them out and keep modifying them until they work! I love logic problems, but always hated doing logic in code - go figure!
