Going to write a hack...

[Radgam]

Probably just for use at my own board but who knows, if it turns out good i may release here.

Basically, i'm looking to create a section of my site that only register members of certain user groups can access. It's not a forum, but actually website (of sorts) with files and other extras that members of the forum will be able to access (no one else).

Just wondered if anyone could help me get started and offer any tips. If someone tries to access the section of the site i'd like it to check if they are logged in, and then to decided what to do based on their user group. If they are not, it'll post the login code.

I'm guessing all i need to do is add this at the begining of my php file and it will check the rest?

require('./global.php');
if ($bbuserinfo['userid']=0) {
// Some sort of login code here
}

is that an okay start and am i on the right track? I wanted to more or less integrated with vb, but my concern is that by using the above code when people access the website section it will update when they last visited the forum (even though it's not a visit).

Hope i made sense somewhere in there
