Invisible Style, But Still Active

[josiespencer]

My usergroup is 98 and my styleid is 39. Is this code correct? It seems to have worked!

PHP Code:

if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo,98)) // Usergroups // 
{ 
    $userselect = 0; 
    $styleid = 39; // Style id // 
    $vbulletin->userinfo['styleid'] = $styleid; 
    $vbulletin->options['styleid'] = $styleid; 
} 


Now one more thing and I will leave you alone - got any ideas how I can disallow the style pick box on my "special" style??? I don't want the users in my usergroup to be able to pick a different style either on the main forum page or in their CP screen.

I found a workaround - I added a new plugin for profile_complete that does this:

PHP Code:

if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo,98)) // Usergroups //  
{  
    $userselect = 0;  
    $styleid = 39; // Style id //  
    $vbulletin->userinfo['styleid'] = $styleid;  
    $vbulletin->options['styleid'] = $styleid;  
    $vbulletin->userinfo['styleid'] = 39;  
    $vbulletin->options['styleid'] = 39;  
} 


So no matter if they pick a new style on one of the forum pages or the CP screen, 39 just gets popped right back in there!

The two lines you have added change nothing, they just duplicate the lines above.

PHP Code:

    $styleid = 39; // Style id //   
    $vbulletin->userinfo['styleid'] = $styleid;   
    $vbulletin->options['styleid'] = $styleid; 


is the same as ;

PHP Code:

    $vbulletin->userinfo['styleid'] = 39;   
    $vbulletin->options['styleid'] = 39; 


(ignore vb's strange formatting)

True - the same code would work in both places:

PHP Code:

if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo,98)) // Usergroups //  
{  
    $userselect = 0;  
    $styleid = 39; // Style id //  
    $vbulletin->userinfo['styleid'] = $styleid;  
    $vbulletin->options['styleid'] = $styleid;  
} 


I guess when I next to add the next usergroup, I will create a variable to replace the 39 but for now all works fine.

Is it possible to force a certain style for everyone based on what link is pressed? I have multiple styles being used and each style has a unique "New Posts" link.

What I would like to see happen is when the "New Posts" link is pressed, they are taken to the page and then they will see the style from which section they came from.

Example: They are in a subsection which happens to use styleid=3, i want then New Posts section to use that theme aswell.

Although I am aware of the command &styleid=3, however if I then navigate to any other board, it apears to use that same style in a board that was previously NOT designated to use styleid 3, see my dilema?

I hope someone can help.
