Reminder to admin when the board is off · **Released**: 05-11-2002

Someone requested this on vBulletin.com real quick hack not really a major thing but I'll do it anyway.

open global.php and find

PHP Code:


			
// check that board is active - if not admin, then display error

if (!$bbactive) {

  if (!$permissions['cancontrolpanel']) {

    eval("standarderror(\"".str_replace("\'", "'", addslashes($bbclosedreason))."\");");

    exit;

  }

}

change to

PHP Code:


			
unset($board_closed);

// check that board is active - if not admin, then display error

if (!$bbactive) {

  if (!$permissions['cancontrolpanel']) {

    eval("standarderror(\"".str_replace("\'", "'", addslashes($bbclosedreason))."\");");

    exit;

  }

  else {

    $board_closed = "<center><b>The board is currently closed to non admins</b></center>";

  }

}

then in whatever template you want add $board_closed, i just added it to the header template at the very top.

First it also doesn't work on my board, but then I add the $board_closed after:

PHP Code:


			
  <title>$bbtitle - powered by vBulletin</title>

  $headinclude

</head>

<body>

$header

in forumhome template.

Now it works. Thanx for the hack.

oops that would be my bad
you can't add it to
header, footer or headerinclude as their loaded before the permissions are checked, you'd have to add

PHP Code:


			
eval("\$header = \"".gettemplate('header')."\";");

after $board_closed in the global.php file to get it to work in the header.

Doing your fix it made the Header appear twice... So literally, I had two headers.

Admin · #15 05-13-2002, 10:59 AM

Code:

eval('$header = "' . gettemplate('header') . '";');

What?

Scott MacVicar · #17 05-14-2002, 06:03 AM

there is a dot before the equals sign, remove it.

If you add that, will it still work any where else or does it HAVE to go in the header, footer or headerinclude then?

BTW: I used Firefly's update to this already.

and yes this is a good hack since vbb is very explotable and if someone got admin on your board while you were on and closed it down itd tell you...so yes it is VERY useful for forums that get hacked alot. lol

If you boards get hacked a lot there's a problem.

ive been hacked so many [better wash my mouth][better wash my mouth][better wash my mouth][better wash my mouth]ing times due to vbbs unsecurity..i even have htaccess passs on my mod/admin panels and also they are ******* user names and multi numbers/letters passes also my ftp nobody knows about and in the admin logs it leaves no logs due to they dont even have to use the control panel to get admin/unban ppl/ban i do now know exactly how this is done but yet if you dont realize it VBB isnt secure at all. So far ive been hacked 3 times. 1 time from a rival forum and 2 times from some gay hacking forum. which i got the guy from the hacking forum in deep [better wash my mouth][better wash my mouth][better wash my mouth][better wash my mouth]...

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
