Styles for Premium Members · **Released**: 02-14-2003

This Hack allows you to set styles for use only by premium members. (Premium members are people that you decide are premium either because they have paid or because you like them or for whatever reason you determine they are premium)

This hack does not use the usergroup system because it allows premium users to be in any usergroup. This enables me to keep moderators in a mods group, Epinions members in an Epinions group, and everybody else in the registered group and still mark them as a contributor.

Premium members on my board have paid a membership fee. My nonpaid members have the default style that has ad banners and few if any hacks.

My premium members have 5 styles to choose from. None have Ad Banners and there are more hacks and features.

If you want to see a live demo: Join my forum, look at the styles available to you. Then pay to become a premium member

and look to see the available styles once you have paid.

KNOWN ISSUES:
None.

I will include screenshots in a few minutes.

NOTE: I will support this hack for users who know how to run queries and edit files. I will not explain the basics of hacking. I will support bugs. I will also refine the instructions if they are incorrect.

I must be doing something wrong. I've tried this on my test board but I get the following error message after trying to save the user:

Quote:

mysql error: Unknown column 'premium' in 'field list'

mysql error number: 1054

I ran the query in the begining of the text. Is there another query I'm missing?

danrak, when updating the file, I accidentally posted in the wrong query. This is the correct one:

ALTER TABLE `user` ADD `premium` TINYINT NOT NULL;

Sorry for the confusion.

Ok. Sorry about that. Let me try that. Thanks.

Thanks man, installed it on vB2.3.0, don't know if it works fine, but will let u know..

I merged it with Contributing members, works perfect!

amykhar · #19 03-09-2003, 09:36 PM

great. I have been using it for over a year now. It certainly helped cover hosting costs.

I have configured my PM system so that Premium members no longer have a PM quota. I combine this with another hack I wrote that deletes PMs older than 2 months old. (date configurable in the code)

So, here is the addon. In private.php, Find:

Code:

 if ($pmquota>0 and $touserinfo[usergroupid] != 6 and $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 6) {

Replace with:

Code:

 if ($pmquota>0 and $touserinfo[usergroupid] != 6 and $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 6 and $touserinfo[premium]!=1) {

That was easy, wasn't it?
