can we give access permissions to particular usergroups and deny for some ..

If yes where do i set the permissions .. ?? Lil confused .. i used logicans webtemplates when i was on vB 3.8.2 and it has its own settings .. now i upgraded to 4.0.3 and never used custom pages so lil confused with it .. Need little support or suggest me any particular mod as logicans webtemplates for 3.8.x series ..

Under the Start Main Script area, you may deny some usergroups:

PHP Code:

if (!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, x, y, z))  
{
// give no permission unless in usergroup x, y, or z
        print_no_permission();
}

guess i dont want registered users and moderators to access this page so do i do it this way below in the start main script?

PHP Code:

if (!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 2, 7,))  
{
// give no permission unless in usergroup 6, or 5
        print_no_permission();
} 


Do i have to edit it this way .. check the php code please ..

2 = registered user <=> should not have access
7 = moderator <=> should not have access
6 = super admin. <=> should have access
5 = global moderator <=> should have access

If you want to exclude usergroups 2 & 7, then you would do:

PHP Code:

if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 2, 7))  
{
// give no permission to usergroup 2 & 7
        print_no_permission();
}

PHP Code:

// #######################################################################
// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################
// #######################################################################

if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 2, 7))  
{
// give no permission to usergroup 2 & 7
        print_no_permission();
}  

$navbits = construct_navbits(array('' => 'Test Page'));
$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits); 


This is how i add it under start main script ..

P.S i want more groups to be excluded from it .. like 2,11,13,9,7 etc etc .. do i have to do it 2, 11, 13, 9, & 7 ? i am getting confused here on the second part.

PHP Code:

// give no permission to usergroup 2, 11, 13, 9 &  7

child directory does not seem to work for me
I'm very sure I'm doing something wrong though:

<?php

// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'noble6');
define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true);
// change this depending on your filename

// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################
// get special phrase groups
$phrasegroups = array();

// get special data templates from the datastore
$specialtemplates = array();

// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array('noble6',
);

// pre-cache templates used by specific actions
$actiontemplates = array();

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
// if your page is outside of your normal vb forums directory, you should change directories by uncommenting the next line
$curdir = getcwd ();
chdir('/path/to/forums');
require_once('./global.php');
chdir ($curdir);

// ################################################## #####################
// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################
// ################################################## #####################

$navbits = construct_navbits(array('' => 'noble6'));
$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits);

// ###### YOUR CUSTOM CODE GOES HERE #####
$pagetitle = 'INTEL';

// ###### NOW YOUR TEMPLATE IS BEING RENDERED ######

$templater = vB_Template::create('noble6');
$templater->register_page_templates();
$templater->register('navbar', $navbar);
$templater->register('pagetitle', $pagetitle);
print_output($templater->render());

?>

In a folder such as "/pages." My forum is in the root.

Error:

Great tutorial, and thanks to everyone who's input went into this.

I was able to create the page template and plugins with no issues.
