Hide threads by usergroup

[hamed]

Tanx for the help. I have done that but still the database error

[Martin64]

hamed, in forumdisplay...

FIND this:

$sortfield="lastpost";

REPLACE it with:

$sortfield="thread.lastpost";

FIND this:

$sortfield='lastpost';

REPLACE it with:

$sortfield='thread.lastpost';

That should do the trick.

[hamed]

Tanx a lot. That did it.
I had missed the second one.

[hamed]

Is there anyway to stop pms from a user group?

[Xenon]

you can disable the whole pm-function for a usergroup in your ACP

[hamed]

Thank you Xenon. But if I do that then the banned user notices something is wrong.
Is there any way to hide the secret banned user group's pms for everyone?

[Xenon]

yes, just don't save em to the db

open private.php find this:

PHP Code:

$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO privatemessage (privatemessageid,userid,touserid,fromuserid,title,message,dateline,showsignature,iconid,messageread,folderid,receipt) VALUES (NULL,$touserinfo[userid],$touserinfo[userid],$bbuserinfo[userid],'".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($title))."','".addslashes($message)."',".time().",'$signature','$iconid',0,0,$receipt)"); 


and change it to:

PHP Code:

if($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]!=16) $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO privatemessage (privatemessageid,userid,touserid,fromuserid,title,message,dateline,showsignature,iconid,messageread,folderid,receipt) VALUES (NULL,$touserinfo[userid],$touserinfo[userid],$bbuserinfo[userid],'".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($title))."','".addslashes($message)."',".time().",'$signature','$iconid',0,0,$receipt)"); 


it should work

[hamed]

Thank you. But still I can send pms with my test ban user

[Xenon]

i've edited it, a bit, it was a little typing error

also your banned group id is 16 wasn't it`?

[hamed]

Tanx ever so much. It is working now.
Just the popup and email notification are still working for the person that the pm is sent to.
