I threw this together as a practical joke. I installed a style for one of our private forums, and some members hated it. So, I set it so that one of those users was faced with that style in every forum - and couldn't change it.

If you want to force a user to a given style, do this:

1. Note your styleid and the userid of the person you want to torment.

In global.php Find:

Code:
// #############################################################################
// ######################## START TEMPLATES & STYLES ###########################
// #############################################################################
Add After
Code:
if($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']==useridhere)
{
  $codestyleid= styleidhere;
}
If you have a whole usergroup you want to torment, do this: (haven't tested this one)

Code:
if(is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo,usergroupidhere))
{
  $codestyleid= styleidhere;
}

Yes. Leave off the conditional, Smiry.

Southern, sorry. I don't write for older versions.

Could also easily be done as a plugin on style_fetch

Jon,
Andreas's mod to restrict styles to usergroups may be more suitable for your needs. It's more robust and it's a plugin.

This is more of a quick and dirty hack to do something style-wise to an individual or two.

is it possible to have 2
if($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']==useridhere)
{
$codestyleid= styleidhere;
}

?

e.g you might want admins / mods to use a no add style, and users etc to use one..

but then you want a different group to use another style.. is this possbiel?

e.g

if($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']==1,2,3,4)
{
$codestyleid= 1;
}

if($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']==4,5,6)
{
$codestyleid= 2;
}

Yes, Smiry. But, as I said before if you are doing it with large groups of people, it's better to use Andreas's mod.
