Great hack. ;)

The query is wrong in it. It will give you a db error. You need to take the " out after the last ). ;)

Like this:

Quote:

INSERT INTO setting (settingid,settinggroupid,title,varname,value,desc ription,optioncode,displayorder) VALUES (NULL,1,'What usergroups can view the board while it\'s off','canviewclosed','6,5,7','What usergroups can view the board even if it\'s closed (seperate with a comma)','','3')

How are people meant to log in? Because it comes up saying the boards are closed, so obviously... you can't log in!

Or is the idea to put the login form in the reason for the boards been closed?

Davey

Good point Poggyuk.
Admins can log in through the AdminCP, whereas Moderators and Super Moderators cannot.

Okay i've just tried putting the login form with the reason for the boards being closed, and sorry to say: it doesn't work!

The only way, is to log in via the admin cp...
however, this only applys for administrators. What about other user groups?

Davey

03-19-2003 08:11 PM

I told ya so.
Guess that was never thought of/tested when he released it lol.

Sorry DarkSSJ3 but your hack doesn't work :-(
Nice idea though!

I'll carry on working on this idea on my test forums, and if i manage to find a way round it, i'll release it on here! But i doubt it'll work...

it doesn't work? It works for me :s Be sure to do the query.

PS
Mods/smods can login using the modcp

[EDIT]
I'll create an system that will alow an user to login without using admin/mod cp. For now at least admins and smods and mods that are assigned to an forum can login using the cp's.

But I asumed users would simply be logged in :p

That would be great - since on our board we are looking for something just like that.

Your hack created an error for me ... also I couldnt find the script in admin/global.php ... it was in ./global.php
is it supposed to be like that

Sorry if this sounds dumb ... I am fairly new to this :)

it's supposed to be in global.php :) So that's ok :)
