Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Allow usergroups to view forum, if forum turned off.

Based on the idea of Mephisteus Allow usergroups to view disabled board
Many thx to KirbyDE for his help

This version works with vB 3.5.4 and 3.6.x. No file, db, templates changes needed.
Import the product and have "fun". Please delete older versions and copy (reinstall) the original file global.php back from your vBulletin archive.

AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> Turn Your vBulletin On and Off -> Allow usergroups to view disabled board

Default = 5,7 ( Moderators, Super Moderators)


You'll find 4 files in the archive file:
product-vdb_270906_354_de for vB 3.5.4 language german
product-vdb_270906_354_en for vB 3.5.4 language english
product-vdb_270906_36x_de for vB 3.6.x language german
product-vdb_270906_36x_en for vB 3.6.x language english

Peter is ill and told me posting follow solution here:

search Hook admin_options_processing with title VDB - usergroup options saving

replace the content with

PHP Code:

if ($oldsetting['varname'] == bbactive_groups)
{
 $settings["$oldsetting[varname]"] = implode(',', $vbulletin->GPC['setting']['bbactive_groups']);
}
