Also, how can I make it so only members belonging to a certain group can post links?

Find this code in links.php (around line 51)

PHP Code:

// #################### Add Link ####################
if ($action=="addlink") {
  if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]=="1" or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]=="3" or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]=="0") {
      eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('drkslinks_error1')."\");");
      }else{ 


this part of the code

PHP Code:

$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]=="1" 


is what blocks certain user groups from adding links. By default anyone not logged in cannot upload while all other members can. Simply add groups that you do not wish to add new links to the above code. Lets say I don't want the standard members (on my site the groudid for the standard members is 2) to add links, the code would look like this:

PHP Code:

// #################### Add Link ####################
if ($action=="addlink") {
  if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]=="1" or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]=="3" or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]=="0" or $bbuserinfo[usergroudid]=="2") {
      eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('drkslinks_error1')."\");");
      }else{ 


Noticed the change? I simply added another or statement and put in another group to exclude. Do this for any usergroups you wish to exclude from adding links.

The may want to edit the drkslinks_error1 template as well. It's the template that tell's you that your not logged in. It should also tell you that you might not have permission to add links as well. This way members who are logged in that don't have permission to add links will be aware that they can't.

Hope this helps.
