Allow Somebody to Use Non-Selectable Styles · **Released**: 03-20-2003

I put this together very quickly to allow me to use non-selectable styles so that I can develop and test styles without members using something that is not ready yet.

It's a quick hack that I have put together in two versions. The first allows one specific user to use all styles. The second allows all admins to use all styles.

If you know PHP, it is trivial for you to add more users or more usergroups to the list.

No screenshot is available because it would have no meaning. Basially, what you will see after installation is that non-selectable styles now appear in your usercp dropdown if you are the designated member.

Using the styles in postbit hack and don't want your users to see that you are using an unavailable style? This addon will help:

Yea that is a handy problem you are fixing there

Makes no sense that as an admin, you can't view a style to develop it.

Nice idea!
I will install it (licking install and wiping it clean

) now, then actually install it later to test it.
Thanks.

Dave.

I must confess that I put this together to help prepare for my April Fool's joke. A hack created with evil intentions

heh.. I was about to release something like this. I made one of these custom for myself awhile back. Good job though. Yours looks more cleaner coded than mine, so I may use yours instead.

Exactly what I needed now my test account can use this instead of me having private forums for style testing......

/me will use this and install this when he gets home.

/me clicks install

One thing troubles me, it would be nice if you could have an option so that the admin can put the userids into the config.php file.
This way, you can easily add a list of users who can 'beta test' your style.
Just need someone to implement it.
Oh come on! How hard can it be!? lol.

Hmm is there a way for me to let two specific users do this?

I tried this

PHP Code:


			
if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==6,286) {

but that didn't work =/

6 and 286 being the two userid's I would like to enable this on.

Thanks and great hack!
