Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Disallow Access to Paid Subscriptions

*It looks like no one needs this mod so I am no longer supporting it. However if you find yourself to be one that needs it PM me. I will add IP denying and a Post Count option.

Sometimes if you have a Paid Subscription set up to allow your members to view a new forum with content that you hold secret, you may not wish for it to get out. A while back I had a member I was fairly good friends with. I found out he was stealing some of my content and went easy on him by just removing his access. So later on down the road I found out he purchased another Paid Subscription and begun stealing content again. So this will allow you to define a list of user IDs to not allow access to your Paid Subscription area.

Features

• Disable and Enable the Mod.
• Manage which users are denied access to purchase Paid Subscriptions.
• Manage a custom error message when a user is denied access to purchase Paid Subscriptions.
• All features are accessible via AdminCP-> VBulletin Options-> Paid Subscription Access

There are 2 template edits

Find:

<td class="panelsurround" align="center">

Below Add:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid'] != $vbulletin->options['paidsubscriptionaccess']">

Find:

</td>
</tr>
</table>

Above Add:

<else />
$vboptions[paidsubscriptionerror]
</if>

To Do

• Figure out why it is not letting me use template hooks.

Yea it's really only useful if your paid subscriptions allow access to additional forums, which my paid subscriptions do. Figured if I needed it, others might.

Thanks, once I figure out why my automatic template edits are not working, I plan on adding a feature to not allow access after X amount of posts.

They would just create a new account tho. It is not really going to stop them for good. Nice idea tho, thanks for sharing.

Guess I should implement some type of IP or Cookie detection system? Course this is why you should use AE. However if they insist on getting back into your Paid Subscription area, then I guess that's when you ban them lol.

However like I said if you have AE on and enable "No Paid Subscription Access after X posts" then surely they will slip up sometime and you will notice they are on another account and you can do w/e you wish.

Actually this is superb and suits my needs exactly. I hope you continue to develop it.
