Add those links in the home_logout template, that way it will only appear to logged in users.

Thanx buddy ^^

After a *bit* of testing it seems like it will take the newest thread with a poll from any forum, even if there are new threads which *don't* contain a poll.

Should this not be the case (after more stringent tresting) let me know

After taking a look at the site, these are the links in the top right, that are in the home_right template? If this is the case then I will post the code you need to add here.

Yeah I?ve been playing around with the hack

Add those links in the home_logout template, that way it will only appear to logged in users.

Now I understand.. In that way if you are not registered you don see the links to the games!!

Smart guy..! :tired:

I will post the code you need to add here

I think is better to let them (unregistered user) see the links to the games so they become more interested about it.. (See but can't touch!!) So I will be waiting for the code!

Thanks..

If the php files for the games don't already have this code in them:

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0) {
  show_nopermission();
} 


(or smiliar code), add this after:

PHP Code:

require('./global.php');

Doesn't matter if i am using a custome home_tetris template?
I did that so ican have the same look as my index.

[CarlosC]

Actually what I am doing to link those games is using the same code in the home template and changing the news for the link to the specific game.

[NTLDR]

No, its the PHP that needs to be changed, with that modification It will stop guests from playing the game, I think that guests are disabled anyway for the game.

Note: all the links in the top right require me to loggin already if you haven't made any changes yet

[CarlosC]

ok i will do it right now.. let see!

[CarlosC]

ok i did it. this is not working.. I am not using the flash.php3 code at all.. i just created a new template called home_tetris (for example) and copy the code from my home template and pasted in the template home_tetris. I removed the code that shows the news and put a link like this:

<td bgcolor="#000000" align="left" valign="top"><normalfont>
<br><br>
<center><OBJECT classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0"
width="100%" height="$h">
