Hello,

I'm trying to port a simple hack over to 3.5. My PHP knowledge is sorely lacking, and I was hoping someone could tell me where I'm going wrong in this code, then point me in the right direction on how to fix it.

Basically, the point of this plugin is:

- Check if the user is in a "critforum." If they aren't in one of the excluded usergroups, then:
- Check how many "critpoints" the user has
- If they have more "critpoints" than $cost, allow them to start a new thread. If not, give the error message

PHP Code:


// CRITIQUE CREDIT HACK - SECTION 1 - hook newthread_start

// Groups Exempted from the critpoint system

$exceptions = array();

// Forums IDs where critpoints apply

$critforums = array(4);

// Critpoint cost of each critique

$cost = 2;


$critpoints = $bbuserinfo['credits'];

if ($critpoints < $cost && !in_array($vbulletin->userinfo["usergroupid"], $exceptions))

{

eval(standard_error(fetch_error('not_enough_critpoints')));

} 


I think this is probably very easy, but I don't have the programming knowledge to pull it off. I greatly appreciate any help you gurus can offer!
