Trap Banned Members: They cant logout.

Hey there,

This is a very tiny (and very easy to install) hack but I like to use it and found it useful:

I have a certain user group for trouble users in my board which I disabled all access to my board and this group can not even search or display the board itself or anything, so they are lower than guests. So I need to trap them in their username so that they wouldnt log out and "gain" guest access. This tiny hack exactly does this. You can use it with "banned users" or any user group you need to trap. Here we go:

Edit member.php and find
-- cut ---
// ############################### start logout ###############################
if ($action=="logout") {
include("./global.php");
-- cut ---

AFTER THAT add:
-- cut --
// Banned users cant logout hack
if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==XX) {show_nopermission(); exit;}
// Banned users cant logout hack
-- cut --

Replace XX with any usergroup id. (Banned by Moderators group is 12 in my board). If you put your mouse icon on "Edit" in http://www.url.com/yourboardadmin/us...tion=modify&s= , you can learn the usergroupid of any groups. If you need to trap more than 1 usergroups use this line:

if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==XX OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==YY) {show_nopermission(); exit;}

After applying the hack, trapped users will get "You dont have access" page if they try to logout from anywhere. Of course these members can still clear the cookies by deleting them manually, but you'll stop 95% of members who dont know the trick anyway!

Enjoy!

Error page for Page not found isn't working. The code seems to be okay:

if ($requested_template=="") {eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_notfou nd")."\");"); exit;}

It works for the // no page specified error. Just not the page not found error

wrong thread? If not, how did you come up with that code, it does not belong to my hack, does it? :glasses:
