Sure, but this means guests cannot contact you using the form.

Open contact.php.

Find:

PHP Code:

require('./global.php'); 


Add BELOW:

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] !=2 AND $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] !=6 AND $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] !=5) {
eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_nocontact")."\");");
exit;
} 


Make sure you add the usergroupid's of your staff usergroups in there too so they can use the form.

The make a new template called:

error_nocontact

Add this as contents:

You have no permission to access the contact form.

Or whatever you want.

Done.

whats does the " exit; " do ? is that needed ?

also is it possible to place the group in an array.

Am a newbie at php, bit am trying different methods to get the same result at the moment.

i have :

PHP Code:

<?php
error_reporting(7);
include ("../../mainfile.php");
$index = 1;
global $Pmenu,$breadcrumb;
$Pmenu="";
$breadcrumb="Account Activation";
$defaultmessage = "Your message here... \n\n - $bbuserinfo[username]";
$defaultemail = "$bbuserinfo[email]";
$unwantedgroups = array('1', '6', '11');
getvbpvars();
include("header.php");
if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == $unwantedgroups) {
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('contact_error')."\");"); 
} else {
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('contact')."\");");
}
include("footer.php");
?>

now i dont get any errors when running this, but the contact template is always displayed, even when am using a group id of 6 - so this dont work for some reason

i can get it to work, using this :

PHP Code:

<?php
error_reporting(7);
include ("../../mainfile.php");
$index = 1;
global $Pmenu,$breadcrumb;
$Pmenu="";
$breadcrumb="Account Activation";
$defaultmessage = "Your message here... \n\n - $bbuserinfo[username]";
$defaultemail = "$bbuserinfo[email]";
getvbpvars();
include("header.php");
if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==1 || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6 || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==11) {
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('contact_error')."\");"); 
} else {
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('contact')."\");");
}
include("footer.php");
?>

why dont my array version work ?
