online time hack

[kaos]

would it be possible to make a hack so that users can only visit your forums during a certain time by placing them into certain groups based on their time rights?

edit global.php, go at the end before ?> add:

PHP Code:

if (($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==X) AND ((int)date("H", time())>=21 OR (int)date("H", time())<=9)) 
{
$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==Y;
}
elseif (($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==Y) AND ((int)date("H", time())>9 OR (int)date("H", time())<21)) 
{
$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==X;
} 


This is the algotihm with which you can tamper according to your needs:

It works like this:
If user's usergroup is X and server time is between 9-pm - 9 AM, his usergroup is changed to Y.
If user's usergroup is Y and server time is between 9 AM - 9 PM, his usergroup is changed to X.

Not tested but should work..

If you set forum permissions according to the usergroup ids, they'll get "no permission error".. So you can customize that template and put your info in it if you want..
