specific users to start new threads

Found a bug: $forumid should be $foruminfo[forumid]
and some more in my code, a space to much (twice) and a ( missing

this is how it should be (for those interested in this):

PHP Code:

if (!ismoderator($foruminfo[forumid]) AND ($foruminfo[forumid]=X OR $foruminfo[forumid]=Y)){
  eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_newthreadnotallowed")."\");");
  exit;
} 


place it in newthread.php or newreply.php as Logician specified.
And make a template called error_newthreadnotallowed with something like "Sorry, but you can't post new threads in this subforum. " or whatever you want

nope not a bug.. You should be fine with "$forumid" as well..

you are correct on ( missing..(edited) and your sample of template driven error page is correct either..(nice work!)

BTW If you want to release it with your name, be my guest.. But I still think access permissions will be enough in many cases..

I mean, it's just a very small hack...

It was because of missing ) not $forumid..

IMO no, not release - worthy. As I said I wouldnt even use it because access permissions do the trick in most cases..

I'll have to disagree with you here
I got a parse error on line 30 - the line with if (!ismoderator($forumid)) AND ($forumid=Y OR $forumid=Z))
and after I replaced $forumid with $foruminfo[forumid] the parse error on that line was solved
The parse error I got after that was on line 31, and that was indeed due to the missing (

IMO this is because of ) problem..

Try to reapply:

PHP Code:

if (!ismoderator($forumid) AND ($forumid=1 OR $forumid=2)) 


Does this line give you a parse error? I think not..

Did I say that didn't work?
I did not!

You're right, it works. I guess the parse error was due to a typo at my side. It must be

[edit]
I now see what ) you mean, and indeed, that must have been the missing character.

I just noticed a bug in the code

it should be $forumid==X (with dubble = )
