Forgive the dumb question, but ...

Does this hack simply control who can create a given bbcode when they post, or does it also control who can see given bbcodes when viewing posts?

For instance, lets say I want a [modsonly] bbcode, where moderators can embed a note in a post which ONLY other admins or moderators can see. For instance ...

[modsonly]This cheesegrits guy is a major pain in the you know what, always wanting stuff he can't have, this is just another example of old cheesy rambling on about stuff nobody but him cares about![/modsonly]

I'm assuming this mod doesn't quite get me what I want, in that it looks like I can restrict a custom bbcode to allow only certain groups to create the code, but once that code is in a post, anyone can then see the rendered result. Correct?

Still a very useful mod, but I'd really like usergroup control over both creation and viewing of bbcodes.

Can you give me more info so I can reproduce it? Also an image of where it's located might help.

This is for using BBCode. If you dont have permissions to use the bbcode, then the post cannot use the bbcode. Even if an admin edits it.

Thanks for the reply. That's what I figured, but I had to ask.

I'll no doubt install it anyway, as it provides some of what I need.

Great hack!

I've got just one question.
Can you make it so that I can disable custom BB code also in signatures only?

I got an bbcode for image thumbnails, but this means that they can also use that code in signatures.
In spite of the fact I have disabled the [img ] tag in sigs..

Thanks in advance.

I dont think I would add such an option.

I noticed there's no option to disable the IMG tags...

I think it gets controled other ways.

Maybe I'm just really dumb and missed it (it's a possibility), but I could not find IMG control on a usergroup basis other than for sigs.

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /admincp/usergroup.php(181) : eval()'d code on line 30
