Making Quick Reply available only to x Usergroups

The code above is only submitting one variable parameter, the result of the is_member_of () call. Secondly, is_member_of() does not account for an array of ID's to be passed to it. But only takes a single userid.

So, you would need to either install the change by Merk which allows an array to be sent to is_member_of or use individual conditions as outlined above but matching against $bbuserinfo instead of $post.

But you can use the in_array with calling forumids, right? Like this:

if (in_array($forumid, array(XX, XX, XX)))

Yes, that is a different application though. If checking for specific forums that would work. If checking for primary usergroup only you could even use:

if (in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array (4,5,6)))

And have it work... Just the is_member_of() function is limited to a single userid. I haven't looked at Merk's hack for this but I suspect he simply wrapped the checks of that function in a FOR...EACH loop that checks each value in an array. Wouldn't be a bad change for the core product in my opinion.

But we have gotten off track here... The solution to the original question is to open the SHOWTHREAD template and replace:

$quickreply

WITH

 <if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 5) OR is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6) OR is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 7) OR is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 9)">$quickreply</if>

I believe that will provide the solution you are looking for.

merk's hack is great. I asked about that on vb.com, if I remember right. That would be a great addition to vbulletin, like you said. Mayve we'll see it in the next update?

Ok, back to the code at hand. Basically, using the code I posted with the OR and changing the post to bbuserinfo is the same thing you posted, right?

[high]* Boofo writes this down because he isn't right too often. [/high]

Thank you, sir.

[high]* Boofo writes down that Wayne said he was correct which will probably be the last time that ever happens. [/high]

[deathemperor]

so, can we use

PHP Code:

if (in_array($bbuserinfo['userid'], array (5843,9948))) 


to check if it's Wayne Luke or Boofo ?

[Wayne Luke]

Yes...

[deathemperor]
