A couple of Questions

[Mookie]

I have a few question that I have spent the last few days trying to figure out. (More than likely there is simple fixes but I am just missing them some where). I hope this is the right section.

1.) How did you get the posts in the Home Tab page of the vbulletin.org site to display. I remember seeing this somewhere but I search for a few hours yesterday and could not find it. Can someone link the How to if there is one.

2.) I have a few mods installed on my forums that 5 out of 300 people dont like is there a way to put a User ID code infront of the mod that only requires me to list the user who DO NOT want the mod to be displayed. Instead of making a new usergroup or listing all 300+ users that want the mod to be displayed?

3.) Lastly, this may have to go in the request section but i will see what yall say. In the postbit template is there a way to make a image wrap around the VBulletin Avatar? Something like the vbulletin.org avatar for Admins but instead of it being a all in one image I want to have a usergroup specified image that wraps around the user selected avatar image.

Any help in any of this areas would be very helpful.

1) Check out http://www.vbadvanced.com/

2) It depends on the mod. If it does support usergroup settings, you are probably better off using that.

3) There is no way to do this with a vbulletin install. There may be a hack out there already though.

Thanks for the reply rootnik,
1.) I was looking at vbadvanced but was not sure if it allowed the thread like that but I guess i could work it in like that.
2.) Have you ever seen the ability to not allow access to a mod? Like having the (<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6)"> ) code but instead of allowing usergroup it denied access via user id number.
3.) I will see if i can write a mod for this then. Maybe just have to create a image that imports the [user-avatar] in the middle.

You could do something like <if condition="$bbuserinfo[userid]!=1 || $bbuserinfo[userid]!=2 || $bbuserinfo[userid]!=3"> if you are set on not using usergroups.

There may be a better way to do it...

Use:

<if condition="!in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'], array(X, Y, Z))">

Where XYZ are user id numbers of those not allowed.

Dismounted you are the man-- I have not tired it yet (very busy at work) but everything you write works so i no problem in this working either. Thanks for your help.
