Help me remove User CP, Profiles & Login

[chrisjacob]

How would you go about:
1. Removing ALL links to User Control Panel?
2. Remove ALL links to User Profiles?
3. Redirect ALL links to User Login to a custom page outside of /forum/? (I have my own User Login which I want to force people to use... )

Locking down these features is a requirement of the project I'm working on.

Thanks for helping!

There's no easy way to do it as far as I know, but I would be more than happy to take you in as a client and do the work for you.

Thanks T.I.M but I would like to work through this one inhouse. If you have any suggests please let me know.

- Cheers

A3 - looking at changing the VBulletin Template for it's "login" page to display a message "We are re-directing you to the real login page" and use a javascript redirect to send them over to the login page i want them to use....

Well for certain advanced things I would rather do it myself in which I would charge you. To simplify everything I could help you do the basics and get started.

1.) Code your usercp.php to give a permission error to block all members from accessing it or use option in number 3.

2.) In your template editor do a Find and Replace for "member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$newuserid"

3.) Add this to your .htaccess:

Redirect /member.php http://yoursite.com/yournewprofileareahere

Note that your number 2 and number 3 counteract each other. You can't redirect something if you remove it.

My progress so far has been to create a new product called "Lock Down VB" with the following plugins:

note: each plugin contains 1 line:
print_no_permission();

No Access to Album pages - precheck
album_start_precheck

No Access to Calendar pages
calendar_start

No Access to Calendar pages - second start hook
calendar_start2

No Access to Group pages - precheck
group_start_precheck

No Access to Member pages
member_start

No Access to Moderation pages - for admins from UserCP
moderation_start

No Access to Private pages
private_start

No Access to Profile pages
profile_start

No Access to Subscription pages
usersub_start

No Access to User CP
usercp_start

You're weird. Why would you want to disable all of those.

actually, this would be pretty useful. can you set it to add more non vb pages to the lockdown as well?

what I think would be great is if you could have an external lock/unlock php file (that you could run from a cron job) that would be able to lock/unlock down various portions of vbulletin. you can already do it for the entire forum, but it would be cool to do this for the individual features of vb.
