Description:
A powerful tool for customizing the generic vBulletin access denied message.

Translations
German (Thanks to alluidh)

Features:

• Fully Phrased.
• Turn on or off in admin cp.
• Created a custom message for any vBulletin generic access denied message.
• Personalize messages with any user, forum or usergroup information.
• Automatically send a PM to one or more users the first time a member receives a specific access denied message.
• Personalize the PM with any user, forum or usergroup information.
• Add an approval link to the automatic PM that will give the user a new primary or secondary usergroup of your choice when clicked.
• Send a PM to everyone who received the original access request, and the requesting user, when they are approved.
• Several layers of security.

Use Case
On my board we only allow access to a few forums until a user has been approved by an admin. The sample screen shots show this process in action.

Install

1. Download the vbAccessDenied_1.0.zip file.
2. Unzip and upload the files in the upload directory to your forum root.
3. Import the product file in your admincp.
4. Create custom messages as desired.

1.1 Changes

1. Supports bbcodes in messages (see updated screen shot).
2. Fixed sql bug that prevented many messages from showing properly.
3. Removed 255 character limit on messages.

Upgrade from 1.0 to 1.1
You will need to reupload all files, and uninstall and reinstall the product to upgrade from 1.0 to 1.1. Please copy your messages to a text editor first if you want to save them.

You porting this too 3.6.4??
Can I use this to only report those users that try accessing closed ares, without telling them the mods have been notified?

[gunitman247]

can this work custom profile fields?

[hambil]

This hack is no longer supported and will not be ported to 3.6 by me. It is open for anyone to take ownership of, as long as you have at least one released hack so it's clear you can code Just PM me.

[EnIgMa1234]

I have taken over this hack now. I will be working on a port for 3.6 soon

[hambil]

Once EnIgMa1234 has done a port and established his own mod thread, this thread will likely be deleted. It would be nice to keep the history, but it doesn't look like that is possible currently. Thanks EnIgMa, and best of luck
