Well, this is the half ass way of doing it. I could probably get something better going, (like maybe a hook) just not right this second.

However the generic msg uses a function called print_no_permission() located in functions.php So whenever you see this function in any of the files where you want the error msg to occur you could replace that function with something else.

For Example:

- I have custom permissions on one of my forums set to "Cannot View Forum" so when a user clicks on it, they get the generic msg. However I want a custom error message instead.

- I can open up forumdisplay.php and look for this code:

PHP Code:

// get permission to view forum
$_permsgetter_ = 'forumdisplay';
$forumperms = fetch_permissions($foruminfo['forumid']);
if (!($forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canview']))
{
    print_no_permission()

} 


Then I can simply replace: print_no_permission()

with something like:

PHP Code:

eval(standard_error("I'm Sorry, You Don't Have Permission<br /><br /> <b>Contact An Admin</b>"));
