Hi,

after having seen no answer to this problem, i created a quick and dirty fix for this. I had the same problem and due to this, i had to react.

Here is the solution to prevent banned users to shout:

Find in vbindex.php the following text:
PHP Code:
if ($bbuserinfo['userid'] || ($vbindex['options'] & VBI_DISABLEDSHOUT)) {
                
exec_switch_bg();
                if (!
$bbuserinfo['userid']) {

                        
$shoutbox['postdisabled'] = true;

                } else {
                        
$shoutbox['postdisabled'] = false;
                }
                
$shoutbox['postshout'] = true;
        } else {
                
$shoutbox['postshout'] = false;
        } 
After this block add this code:
PHP Code:
if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == "8")
                    {
                        
$shoutbox['postdisabled'] = true;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        
// do nothing
                    

Assuming the usergroupid of your banned usergroup is also 8. If this number is different in your forum, then please change this number to whatever you need.

Enjoy it.

Cheers,

Can anyone tell me why the frontpage is running so slowly on my site? www.tripleplate.com

Also, how do I edit the index file to change the standard vb logo at the top left? For now, I've edited the logo image to my own logo.

Thanks

posted this on core - but thought I would try here also:

I am looking to replace where a users avatar is for news, with a thumbnail for a picture (if uploaded) that is included with the news article. VBPortal has this feature, and I would like to do it with VBIndex as it is alot more friendly to the server and many other things.

Anyone know how to modify the code to allow me to be able to do this? Thank you in advance!

I made the mistake of logging out of the vbindex from the frontpage and now I can't log back in to post in the shoutbox, etc. What do I do? I log in and then it has me still logged out.

I don't think google spiders these apges at all - and if they do - they would all be spidered with out custom titles and metas.

http://www.armageddononline.org/index.php

All the pages are index.php?page=example and I think all the search engines simply pick it up as the index page - if at all.

Is there any way to customize the titles and metas for each page? Simply putting the tags in the vbindex_extra_page slots does does nothing, and Im facing the possibility of having to make an entirely different page/pages for listing in search engines.

Any thoughts?

Why not just create a php page that contains your information pulling from the database as all it seems you want is news? Probably easier than killing all lines of code. Just a thought.

hi all, ive download and installed this and it works fine on the default VB skin.
I have one other skin which is the Ambience skin, during the installation i use the full image paths EG -
http://www.project-a.co.uk/forum/ima...logo_white.gif ( for the default skin)
and this path for the Ambience skin-
http://www.project-a.co.uk/forum/amb...logo_white.gif

But when i goto save them and continue installing it just saves them without the 'ambience' folder, just like this 'http://www.project-a.co.uk/forum/images/misc/vbulletin3_logo_white.gif'

any ideas?

cheers for any help
