Ignored User Assistance

[Rich]

Hello,

I am in the process of creating a little script that allows my users the ability to hold private conversations on a new page linked of their profiles.

I am encountering a problem though! Ignored users are able to jump in and post in those conversations as well.

What I would like to do is be able to process the ignored users list for that members profile, and either have them see a page with no entry location, or have their entry hidden from the user that has them on ignore in the first place.

I realize I will need to edit my PHP file but I just don't know how to go about doing this. I have viewed the showthread template to try and learn how it is all processed and I found myself lost.

Could someone please assist me with how I could do this?

Optimally, the easiest way to do this for me would to be to create an if condition.

Example:

<if condition....is on banned list> Show this <else /> what everyone else sees.</if>

Thanks for any assistance!
