Restrict Style Changes To Specific Usergroups

Description:

This hack will allow you to restrict users ability to change the board style based on there usergroup, usefull for premium members etc. Note, this will mean members not in these groups will only have access to ONE style, the default board one (or a forum specific one).

File Edits:

In global.php find:

PHP Code:

// is style in the forum/thread set?
if ($codestyleid)
{ 


Add before (replace X, Y, Z with the a comma seperated list of the usergroupid's that should have access to the styles):

PHP Code:

if (!in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(X, Y, Z))) {
    $vboptions['allowchangestyles'] = 0;
}

Anyone know how to change the conditional so it allows subscribers in alternate usergroups the same privilege?

when i put this code in the global.php the dropdown for the styles disappears. any ideas?

Well, that's what this hack is all about:
It removes the ability to change styles if you are not a primary member of the specified usergroups.

@beano33
Use

PHP Code:

if (!is_member_of($bbuserinfo, X) AND !is_member_of($bbuserinfo, Y) AND !is_member_of($bbuserinfo, Z)) 


as the if-condition.
Or apply this hack (I really feel this should become factory code as it is needed often) so is_member_of() can check for several usergroup IDs:

PHP Code:

if (!is_member_of($bbuserinfo, X, Y, Z))
