Request - Private Message Hack

[Rose]

It's Usergroup ID 10.

PHP Code:

if($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 10) {
  if($touserinfo[usergroupid] != 10) {
    eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate('error_pmrestricted')."\");");
    exit;
  }
}

I think that's a great start! So far, here's what happens:

No one can send a pm to anyone in usergroup 10. This is good.
Members in Usergroup 10 still get their messages (the pop up pops up, anyway) - This is good.
Here's what's bad - the member does not have access to the private messages. The pop up works, but once they try to get into the pm box it simply gives them the restricted access error. This also doesn't show the pm info on the forum home for the members in usergroup 10.

Thank you, G-Force.

But that's not working, either. Administrators cannot send usergroup 10 pm's. I get the "they have chosen not to accept pm's or the administrator ...blah".

Also, as a member of usergroup 10, I cannot access the pm's, but I can see new ones in the user cp. However I can't clikc on "private messages" in the usercp and the $pminfo doesn't show up on the forumhome.

Maybe this just isn't possible.

Can you try and describe it all in one post

It sounds like you want people only to recieve pms from people in the same usergroup unless they are admins and in that case they can send to all?

Correct me if im wrong though

if($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 10) {
  if($touserinfo[usergroupid] != 10) {
    eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate('error_pmrestricted')."\");");
    exit;
  }
}
if(($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 10 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 6) AND ($touserinfo[usergroupid] == 10)) {
  eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate('error_pmrestricted')."\");");
  exit;
} 


modified again... sorry i made a math error i meat not equal but i said equal... and i don't see how that would effect the $pminfo from showing i could be wrong though...

PPN :: Rose wants a hack where usergroupid 10 is restricted to use the pms unless to usergroupid 10 and no one can send them pms unless its an admin... i though my code was okay but i didnt' test it x_X regards...
