I have a line on my home page that offers links to various parts of my site (i.e. Home, News, Links, Resource, Quizzes, etc.) but I would like to add a further section to the line (namely 'Admin') that will only appear in the list if one of the people browsing the page is either myself or one of the moderators from my forum.

How could I do this?

if it's a vB-powered page then you can use the is_member_of function() in a conditional

alternatively you can go old school with

PHP Code:


			
if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6 OR $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 7 or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == XX)

{

    your block of code here

}

the same applies if you're using templates too.

Thanks, but as the title of the thread states, it's a non-vb page. It's my index.php of my main site.

then in that case check the session.php see if it defines the usergroup in the cookies and then use $_COOKIE['usergroupid']

alternatively you could include the vb-global.php just for that piece of code.

Thanks again, but my knowledge of PHP is limited to passing a variable to a page and if...else... constructs.

vBulletin's structure is way beyond my understanding.

What steps are necessary to do this?

chick this with marco or someone else that will come in this thread but

PHP Code:


			
rest of your page;



include("forums/global.php");

code i showed you before;

unset("forums/global.php"); //not sure if you can unset a file like that that's why you need a master coder in here

more of your page;

Marco van Herwaarden · #7 03-18-2005, 08:42 AM

No you can NOT use unset on a file, only on a variable. (lol not a master coder myself

)

Well, I messed around with an example page. Just used this:

PHP Code:


			
<?php

include("forum/global.php"); 

$admin = $_COOKIE['usergroupid'];

?>

<html>

<head>

<title>Example</title>

</head>

<body>

<?php

    echo $admin;

?>

</body>

</html>

The page is here.

I got the following errors:

Warning: main(./includes/init.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/linguami/public_html/forum/global.php on line 18

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './includes/init.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/linguami/public_html/forum/global.php on line 18

Now what?

Marco van Herwaarden · #9 03-18-2005, 11:35 AM

Change to:

PHP Code:


			
<?php 

chdir("/home/linguami/public_html/forum");

include("./global.php"); 

....

Thanks. I've now done that and I'm getting a blank HTML page. I added the world Hello to it like this:

PHP Code:


			
<?php

chdir("/home/linguami/public_html/forum"); 

include("./global.php");

$admin = $_COOKIE['usergroupid'];

?>

<html>

<head>

<title>Example</title>

</head>

<body>

<?php

    echo "Hello $admin";

?>

</body>

</html>

But the variable $admin isn't getting anything. I know there should be a cookie as I'm logged into my forum at the moment.
