What I want to do is create a modification similar to what you see here on vB.org; quotes/codes not visible untill a user is in a "special" usergroup (where he gets moved to when he validated his account in some way). As this can't be done by template edits I think this is the only possible way.
Sorry for the terrible slow reply, been busy this week.
you can change the usergroup by changing the 5, this is if the persons usergroup = 5 then they view the correct page. if not, they get an error.
Code:
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == 5)
{
echo'You are in the right usergroup!'
} Else {
echo'Sorry, you cant view this page!'
}
this is if the user has a larger usergroup id than 5, they view the page
Code:
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] > 5)
{
echo'You are in the right usergroup!'
} Else {
echo'Sorry, you cant view this page!'
}
