Certain template loads for certain usergroup

[Tim Wheatley]

Hi,

Basically I want an alternate showthread template and postbit template which loads when a user is banned and when a user is unregistered.

When they're registered/staff I want it to load normally.

NO I do not want to use the hack which was recently released for this, after install sql usage rose from 1.00 average to 3-5.00.

What I'd like it just basically telling what I need to do once, then I can sort the rest I hope...

So if (for example) I want:

postbit - to show to members.
postbit_unreg - to show to guests.
postbit_band - show to banned.

I basically add the template named to templatesused line?

Then how to I change the 'eval blah blah gettemplate thingy line??

Thanks. lol

You need to change the code in fuctions.php that eval's the postbit and specify which template should be eval'ed based on which usergroupid is viewing the board.

Alternativly have 3 template sets for the different usergroups.

How do I write that in PHP?

Obviously (in my language, not in PHP)...

If usergroup is unreg show postbit_unreg

else if usergroup is banned show postbit_band

else show postbit

Find in functions.php:

PHP Code:

eval("\$retval = \"".gettemplate("postbit")."\";"); 


And change to:

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0) { //unreg users
eval("\$retval = \"".gettemplate("postbit_unreg")."\";");
} else if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==X) { //banned users
eval("\$retval = \"".gettemplate("postbit_banned")."\";");
} else {
eval("\$retval = \"".gettemplate("postbit")."\";");
} 


Untested but should work, make sure you change X to the banned usergroupid.
