Show code in theme based on profile option?

[kh99]

I'm not sure what you mean by "hardcoded". If you're using templates, you should be able to put the code for the stuff you want disabled in an "if" tag, like:

<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo[fieldX] == 'something'">
// code for feature
</vb:if>

or to do it by usergroup

<vb:if condition="!is_member_of($bbuserinfo, X)">
// code for feature
</vb:if>

Of course you need to change the X's and 'something' to the appropriate values.
