Description:
A powerful tool for customizing the generic vBulletin access denied message.

Translations
German (Thanks to alluidh)

Features:

• Fully Phrased.
• Turn on or off in admin cp.
• Created a custom message for any vBulletin generic access denied message.
• Personalize messages with any user, forum or usergroup information.
• Automatically send a PM to one or more users the first time a member receives a specific access denied message.
• Personalize the PM with any user, forum or usergroup information.
• Add an approval link to the automatic PM that will give the user a new primary or secondary usergroup of your choice when clicked.
• Send a PM to everyone who received the original access request, and the requesting user, when they are approved.
• Several layers of security.

Use Case
On my board we only allow access to a few forums until a user has been approved by an admin. The sample screen shots show this process in action.

Install

1. Download the vbAccessDenied_1.0.zip file.
2. Unzip and upload the files in the upload directory to your forum root.
3. Import the product file in your admincp.
4. Create custom messages as desired.

1.1 Changes

1. Supports bbcodes in messages (see updated screen shot).
2. Fixed sql bug that prevented many messages from showing properly.
3. Removed 255 character limit on messages.

Upgrade from 1.0 to 1.1
You will need to reupload all files, and uninstall and reinstall the product to upgrade from 1.0 to 1.1. Please copy your messages to a text editor first if you want to save them.

YAY! what i was waiting for
First Click;) Thanks!

will test on my board

Will check out. Should prove to be a great addition!

Works Fine for me! Thanks again
is it possible to report IP in private message? cause i'm using this mod for unregistered users!

Sure. You can report any user field. For ip just use {user.ipaddress}

this is damn good!

This is a great idea, gonna try this... I was never happy with the generic denied message...

Also, pretty smart to put keywords for the hack in the top of the first post - nice!

Found a serious sql bug and fixed it. You should re-install. No need to uninstall or upload files - just download the product file again and re-import it.

This sounds interesting, I'll give it a try this evening. Already clicked install by the way. :)
