"Remote Vb login" from webpage blows up with forum is "closed"

[tryckj?vel]

OK... question... In the latest version of global.php... the code includes the following in teh initial if statement:

// #############################################################################
// check that board is active - if not admin, then display error
if (!$vbulletin->options['bbactive'] AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'login')
{
	if (!($vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['cancontrolpanel']))
	{
		if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'external')

... does this mean that on the site index where i've been requiring the global.php script... i can also add a variable: THIS_SCRIPT == 'external'; and this should tell global.php to not jack up my website while the board is down?

well i tried defining this_script as external and that just made a blank page. oh well.

eureka!

So anyways... heres what i did in case anyone needs it. In the script to display the login box on my index page i encompassed the whole thing with the following:

if ($vbulletin->options['bbactive']!=0){ //code for normal login/avatar/etc  }  else { //warning about board being closed }
