If the only forums that show that message are "VIP" forums, the easiest way would be to just edit that phrase.

If you load up the phrase manager, its a Forum Display phrase called no_posts_in_this_forum

Hi There, i would like the exact same thing please, i have used the phrase manager to change the phrase and this has worked fine although i would like to have 2 different phrases, the default phrase in vbulletin is '' there are no posts in this thread'' i chnaged the default to '' you do not have permission to view this thread'' but i also want a second phrase added so that if its a gues there a message under the dfault one asking them to register, and if they are trying to access my VIP section that means they are all ready registered so i need the added text to say please subscribe here or something along those lines

i tried using

<if condition="$show['guest']"> ''please register message''</if>

with this text underneath it :

please subscribe here

but it doesn't work? i get the two messages at the same time, but the code is hiden, i dont understand it??

any help appreciated

so my phrase now looks like this :

You do not have permission to view this forum <if condition="$show['guest']">please register here first</if>

Please subscribe to our VIP to enter this forum

Try using $bbuserinfo['userid'] == 0 in your condition.

You can't use conditionals in phrases.

so is there anyway at all to get this to do what i am wanting??

edit : i used the condition on the forum display template, just were the phrases would go, i have got both my phrases showing now, cant figure it out???

You can create 2 phrases, and use the conditional in your template (is this what you're doing now?).
