Interrupt Unsubscribed (or other) Users

This hack is designed to insert a sales pitch to non-paying members every 10 pages that they view.

It requires that the is_member_of improvement hack be installed IF you plan to check for more than one usergroup. That hack can be found here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...t=is_member_of

It can be customized to interrupt users of any group you choose with any message you choose before allowing them to click a link and continue on.

Note that this hack is in beta. It seems to be running ok, but may have a bug or two. Install at your own risk. Please only install this if you understand how to run queries and modify php code and help fix any bugs that may arise.

No screen shot is included because the look of the interruption page depends entirely on your needs.

Oooh! Nice! Thank you for sharing!

In theory, this concept could be used to display an ad on a page every 'x' pageviews instead, yes?

(Instead of having adsense code on every showthread page, only have it on every 10 pages...that kind of thing).

its showing up for everyone. I have the following usergorups who shoul'd see the ads:

// Redirect unsubscribed users every 10 pages, starting at page 1
if (!is_member_of($bbuserinfo,2,5,6,7))

what exactly do i replace???? Not the clearest of instructions for a retard!!!

Code:

// ###################### Start is member of #######################

// returns true/false if a $userinfo belongs to $usergroupid

// $userinfo must contain (userid, usergroupid, membergroupids)

function is_member_of($userinfo, $usergroupid)

{

        static $user_memberships;



        if ($userinfo['usergroupid'] == $usergroupid)

        {

                // user's primary usergroup is $usergroupid - return true

                return true;

        }

        else if (!is_array($user_memberships["$userinfo[userid]"]))

        {

                // fetch membergroup ids

                $user_memberships["$userinfo[userid]"] = fetch_membergroupids_array($userinfo);

        }



        // return true/false depending on membergroup ids

        return in_array($usergroupid, $user_memberships["$userinfo[userid]"]);

}

        }

        return in_array($usergroupid, $user_memberships["$userinfo[userid]"]);

}

You'll need to request support for that hack in its thread. But, you are meant to replace the entire function.

But, if you are new to hacking, you shouldn't be installing hacks from the beta forum.

I've been installing the hacks for about 1 1/2 now. Its still showing i've replaced it all. The previous hack wasn't that well explained for me. But its still showing. Would you mind looking at my files?

global.php
functions.php
sessions.php

I get this error when i put the "fixed" global.php on my server:

Code:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_LOGICAL_AND in /usr/home/yates238/public_html/global.php on line 638

As thid is not suppored should i just leave it untill you release it fully?

It's supported, just not to the level you need. So, yes, you should wait until it's out of beta.
