Prevent usergroup(s) from viewing [PHP] or [CODE]

[Oreamnos]

I've searched vb.org as well as Google but can't seem to find a way to prevent usergroups from viewing text between [ c o d e ] or [ p h p ] BBcode tags.

Does anyone know if a mod exists for this?

Thanks,
Eric

You could do it with a couple of template edits.

im not quite sure how that would be done in a template edit. aren't the [PHP and [CODE tags embedded in the post's message?

You can make the edits in the bbcode templates for which ones you want to block.

In the bbcode_php template, look for this code:

   <!-- php buffer start -->$code<!-- php buffer end -->

and do a conditional for that line. You could have it insert a phrase of whatever you want for those that you don't want to see the php code.

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, X, Y, Z)">
   <!-- php buffer start -->$code<!-- php buffer end -->
<else />
    Your in usergroup x, y or z and so can't see the code
</if>

Careful... posts are cached.

If an admin (or X,Y,Z) views the post first, it becomes cached. The next guest can walk by and see it.

thanks for the heads up. how long are posts cached for?

Whatever you have the setting set for that in the vBulletin settings.

How do you get by that then?
