The hack is quite simple with 2 changes in functions.php. No template editing, no db alterations and no other modifications in any other vb file. Therefore if you replace the functions.php with the older one, it's impossible for the hack to affect your board in anyway. It will be successfully removed. Therefore your problem doesnt look like related to the hack.

And actually I cant think a reason the hack will behave like this either. Technically the hack does not interfere the loading of the template, it just interferes when the already-loaded template is returned to the vb so the behaviour you describe does not fit its algorithm..

I dont know how I can help you about this problem you encountered. I suspect you might applied a step wrong while installing and changed a section which you shouldn't touch. However this still does not explain how come you have the same problem when you reverted the function.php though..

I can't believe this hack isn't hack of the year, no doubt the most powerful I've seen, excellent work!

Please excuse the noob question, but...

1) I understand the conditional formating
2) I'm not sure where to place the conditional in the template.
3) Here's the goal:

Usergroup X can not see the "Change Style" portion of their user options.
Usergroups A, b and C can.

4) I assume a copy (modify options2) of modify options needs to be made, then a conditional put in the original. If usergroup x goes to modify, the conditional sends them to the copy ("modify options2")

Someone help me out with this?
Thanks!

it's easier than what you think: ;)

edit template "modifyoptions" and find:
Replace it as:

Enjoy..

Oh man, that's sweet :)
Thanks! Again, great hack.

I voted for the warning system hack for the HOTM, but that's because I hadn't installed this...but now that I have, I vote this hack of the millenium, Logician, you've done one great job here! This tiny change to some code adds so much functionality to my forum!

Just a thumbs up for this, this is truly brilliant, well done.

Question: Can the ismoderator function somehow be used?

give it a try but I'd say no. Conditionals are not designed to run functions and ismoderator is a function that needs to be run to produce a result. Conditional works with variables..

How do I set it up so a group of IPs can see a message? For example say I want everyone from 192.168.1.x to see a message, or say IPs from 192.168.1.x and 255.255.255.x to see a message?

I neither test it, nor sure if it works but give it a try:

[[(substr($REMOTE_ADDR, 0, strlen(X))==192.168.1)]]
your template content for users whose IP is starting with 192.168.1
[[/(substr($REMOTE_ADDR, 0, strlen(X))==192.168.1)]]

Replace X with the character length of IP you used at the end.
For example:
if you use "192.168.1.255" X is 13
if you use "192.168.1" X is 9
if you use "192.168" X is 7
if you use "192" X is 3 etc.

I installed this hack on vbb2.2.9

ever since i have been getting PH memory leaks
and over 60mb's worth of leak is somethig to worry about

when i removed (quoted out) the announcements funtion in /admin/functions.php the errors stopped

anything you can guess at that would be causing this problem?

PS - i really love thjis hack and have been using it loads.. until the errorsa started.. i would like to use it again
