Hiding adsense via styleid

[sgtryan]

I have an option for forum users to upgrade to "premium."

This will offer the advantage of no ads, which works fine except in custom scripting.

I am using this code to hide an ad to those using the "premium" style (Which is available only to premium users).

This is how it goes

if($vbulletin->userinfo[styleid] !== "18")
{
DISPLAY GOOGLE ADS
}
else
{
DO NOT DISPLAY THE ADS
}

'18' is the style id of the premium users styles.

HOwever, when an admin on my boards switches to the style (or any other person who has premium capabilities) it still shows the ad.

I've tried just about everything.

What on earth am I doing wrong????

Thanks in advance,
Ryan

That will only work if the user is using a style via the usercp, if they change it in therir cookie..

Better to use usergroups to perform such checks, though you could use the defined constant of "STYLEID" (no $) to determin the styleid being used for the current pageload.
