VIP Tools (including Bypass Busy Msg)
 

VIP Tools is a very simple mod that is a cinch to install.

Install Instructions:

1. Install VIP Tools Product
2. Setup usergroups and the other options to your likings

Notes:

• Any usergroup you select in the options can bypass the server busy message.
• You can select the number of users before a busy message is flagged.
• You can select to show a link on the navbar that links to subscriptions.
• You can select to show VIP info about the subscriptions (edit template).
• Users can still go to register.php and payments.php regardless of server busy, this way they can sign up and become VIP.

Known Bugs:

* None

Version History:

1.0.0 (Initial Release)

• Added VIP Link and Info
• Added Usergroup Bypass
• Added Usercount flag as Busy

how do i edit the V.I.P message above the subscriptions

Its in the 'vip_info' template.

Thanks so much! This is exactly what I wanted about a year or so ago. many thanks!

Very nice idea, thanks I have tagged this mod because I feel I may need a few more members before it warrants it lol.

Nice work, thank you!

Please add screenshots.

The problem is, this...

Lets say you enabled the bypass for members of group X

When a member of group X gets to the site, they are unable to access the loginin page to identify themselves as a member of group X.

It would also be nice to be able to exclude pages, for instance I let people by the server busy who have donated, well people want to donate but can not access the donation page.

So this mod is good, it just needs to add the little extras to make it work great.

They are able to identify themselves because they are still able to go to register and payments.

Excellent MOD. Thank you. I used a much earlier version of this but this makes it much easier.

Two enhancement recommendation if I may;

1. Allow members to see this screen and pay for VIP when system becomes busy and,
2. have a link on your vBulletin Options - VIP Tools setup screen to change/format the VIP_info message to be displayed.

Great job! :up:
