Description:

This hack will allow you to restrict users ability to change the board style based on there usergroup, usefull for premium members etc. Note, this will mean members not in these groups will only have access to ONE style, the default board one (or a forum specific one).

File Edits:

In global.php find:

PHP Code:

// is style in the forum/thread set?
if ($codestyleid)
{ 


Add before (replace X, Y, Z with the a comma seperated list of the usergroupid's that should have access to the styles):

PHP Code:

if (!in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(X, Y, Z))) {
    $vboptions['allowchangestyles'] = 0;
}

Will this hack allow me to do the following?

I want unregistered/guests to see a certain style. The rest of the usergroups can see another one.

[NTLDR]

Yes it will, provided the default style is the one for guests to see.

[pgowder]

Ok, then I'm confused. How do I configure it that way?

[Freezerator]

Will you upgrade this hack in the future, so i can select for instance, style 1 and 2 for usergroup x, and style 3, and 4 for usergroup y?

yah, what I am looking for is to have one style that doesn't include any of my advertisers, banners, etc, on it - and allow members who donate the possiblity to select that style - if say i move them into a certain usergroup - any ideas??

This hack only appears to grant permission to change styles when the usergroup is that users primary usergroup. At least that's the way it's working on my board. My subscription system is based on alternate usergroups. Is there any way to make it grant permission to change styles if the user belongs to an alternate usergroup that should have permisssion?
