Styles for Premium Members

This Hack allows you to set styles for use only by premium members. (Premium members are people that you decide are premium either because they have paid or because you like them or for whatever reason you determine they are premium)

This hack does not use the usergroup system because it allows premium users to be in any usergroup. This enables me to keep moderators in a mods group, Epinions members in an Epinions group, and everybody else in the registered group and still mark them as a contributor.

Premium members on my board have paid a membership fee. My nonpaid members have the default style that has ad banners and few if any hacks.

My premium members have 5 styles to choose from. None have Ad Banners and there are more hacks and features.

If you want to see a live demo: Join my forum, look at the styles available to you. Then pay to become a premium member and look to see the available styles once you have paid.

KNOWN ISSUES:
None.

I will include screenshots in a few minutes.

NOTE: I will support this hack for users who know how to run queries and edit files. I will not explain the basics of hacking. I will support bugs. I will also refine the instructions if they are incorrect.

That would be a bit trickier. I can't guarantee that I will look into it anytime soon because I am rather swamped at work.

I am getting a parse error

Parse error: parse error in /home/thelega/public_html/forum/admin/style.php on line 587

I am running 2.3.2

$styleinfo=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT templatesetid,replacementsetid,title FROM style WHERE styleid='$dostyleid'");

line 587= echo "<p>"<b>$styleinfo[title]</b>""
.makelinkcode("edit style properties","style.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=edit&editstyleid=$dostyleid")
.makelinkcode("edit replacements","replacement.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=modify&expandset=$styleinfo[replacementsetid]")
.makelinkcode("edit templates","template.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=modify&expandset=$styleinfo[templatesetid]")
."</p>\n";

Can anyone help me please?

You can't use double quotes inside double quotes like that on line 587. If you use "" to designate a string, you should use ' ' inside the string and not ""

thank you thank you thank you

question: would it be posible to set it so that after a set number of posts the style changes?

Would you happen to have a releasable version of a paypal integration hack? That would be so sweet to have.

It was a crude system that I never released for security reasons. I now use vbulletin 3, which has it built in. Sorry. Y'all really should upgrade to 3 if you want the features that 3 has.
