I tried to use the forum subscription hack that is out and it added an extra query for each forum on the forumhome. Is there a way to do it in one query for all forums or at least a few less queries?

lol thx.. no it does not bother me at all. I hope you'll get pms about your own hacks too but I dont know if you'll like it when you start to get a lot of pms about that so that I don't wish. :knockedout:

My hacks really aren't worth pm-ing anyone about. At least with yours, I might get a pm or two. ;)

No easy way unless you are ready to hack more and have a new field in user table where you save user's subscribed forumids there. Then it would be automatically availability to your without querying the DB.

That'll work. Would you help me with it, sir? ;)

I wonder if this can be done.

[[($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==2 $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==3 OR
$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==4 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==5 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==7)]]

$forumbits

[[/($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==2 $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==3 OR
$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==4 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==5 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==7)]]

In doing this I would like to show all members the $forumbits
and just visitors the rest of the forum home. I know I could just code the index.pho with.

if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0) {
show_nopermission();
}

But I would like guest to see the shoutbox and whos online
and not just the nopermission please register template. Also
the show_nopermission I would like that to replace the $forumbits
for guests only.

yeah seems applicable, why dont you give a shot?

With a few changes it worked. :)

Just one more question can I do this.

[[($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==1)]]

" I want to get a template from the database
and not put my html in here. How would I do that?"

[[/($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==1)]]

Thanks for the help. I have attached my forumbits
html.

no way without hacking. ;)

Let me ask you if this is possible

I have a custom profile entry "profilefieldid=5"

I want to have a different template based on what the user puts there, example

if the user puts: rabit or Rabit = template A / ckicken or Chicken = template b

(if they put something it's not defined, then shows nothing of course)

can it be ?

[[(strtolower($bbuserinfo[field5])=='rabit')]]
Template A
[[/(strtolower($bbuserinfo[field5])=='rabit')]]
[[(strtolower($bbuserinfo[field5])=='chicken')]]
Template B
[[/(strtolower($bbuserinfo[field5])=='chicken')]]

COOL :D
