Miscellaneous Hacks - Thread Blocker by BOP5 - Block usergroup access to specific threads

Version 1.2.0: Added blocking by thread prefix
1.1 - Added block by userid
1.0 - Initial Release

I know the best way to control access to threads is via built in permissions and promotions systems however some times for special circmstances there are just certain threads you want to block from certain people- maybe from guests for example. What this mod does is make it easy to block some specific threadids from usergroups you specify. Simple and effective. The users without permission will see an error message saying they don't have access to that particular thread.

1 Plugin and 1 Global Phrase: bop5tb_noaccess - This is the error message others will see when attempting to view a thread.

Working on vBulletin 3.8.7- 4.1.5 and should work on all VB 3.6.x and up including all 4.x versions.

Demo (on VB 4,x forum- but same code):
Blocked Thread: http://www.qapla.com/mods/showthread...ew-this-thread.
Unblocked Thread in same forum: http://www.qapla.com/mods/showthread...la-Demos-Forum

Please Mark as Installed if you use this.

It is unclear what you are asking.

You can block by userid or usergroup- and add multiple threadids to block, but it is the same threadids for all users/groups being blocked.
