$is_livetopic = true;
$livetopichook = 'ajax_start';
include 'includes/livetopic_hooks.php';
}

also you need to use $vbulletin->userinfo instead of $bbuserinfo in php/plugins.

Live topic stopped working for all users when I used that code.

I also tried using this, which I borrowed from a plugin for hiding links from guests but it didn't work either.

if ((!$this->registry->userinfo[userid]) OR (is_member_of($this->registry->userinfo, 5, 2, 6, 7)))
{
$is_livetopic = true;
$livetopichook = 'ajax_start';
include 'includes/livetopic_hooks.php';
}
