You mite wanna add

PHP Code:

forumdisplay_quickthread 


to the $actiontemplates array at the start of the forumdisplay.php..

Or when it calls for the template it will create a query..

PHP Code:

or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == X 


I get an parse error. I want to add only the staff to see the quick post. Right now, I only have admins viewing it.

You have to change X to the usergroupid.

[Red Blaze]

I did. But still got that error.

[Gary King]

You didn't even tell us what error you get

[Red Blaze]

It's a parse error. Doesn't tell me anything else but that there's wrong coding on that line. Sheesh, nevermind, I'll just use it for admin use.

Even posting the parse error will help; if you don't want to post it, we can't help you. If we can't help you because you don't want to post the parse error, there isn't any reason to get angry at us

Here

Parse error: parse error in /home/thesonic/public_html/home/forum/forumdisplay.php on line 205

Is that really that much help? It only tells you what line it is and it's

elseif ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6)or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 5

I also tried:

elseif ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6) or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 5

and

elseif ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6)
or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 5

Still got that same error.

The elseif code works, it's the "or" that doesn't.

Glad you posted that, next time please remember to post the line and error instead of just saying 'no it won't help'

Try this and I'm sure it will help (replace your old line)

PHP Code:

elseif ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6 or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 5)
