Custom Board Closed Message · **Released**: 10-18-2006

This modification is no longer available or supported.

Something I recently saw requested.

This allows you to display a completely custom page to members when you close your forum (instead of the current standard error type page).

Note: The supplied "Board_Closed" template is pretty basic, you should customise it to suit your needs.

History:

v1.01 : Initial vb 3.6 release.
v1.02 : Added Template Caching.

Hi Paul, this is what i was just looking for... I've only one problem, I'm using VBSeo and I would like to "exclude" this "Board_Closed" page from VBSeo..

In order to do that in VBSeo options, I would need to add the exact URL for this custom page. Is that possible with something like "/misc.php?do=page&template=Board_Closed" or something like that?

Or if you know how to exclude the VBSeo code in this particular template...

Thanks!

I can't think of any way you could do that, there isn't a specific url.

I had the opportunity to use this mod, since I was installing v3.6.7 and wanted to keep people out until I was done.

I noticed that even though I turned it ON, I had people logging in?

Have I missed something?

Thanks

Regards,
Badger

Did you close your forum ?

All this does is display a custom message when the forum is closed, it does not close the forum for you.

Yup ...

I said "NO" to the prompt and "YES" to using the custom message.

I have no idea how they were logging in... just standard registered users.

vbulletin does not stop members from connecting if they have their cookie - it just displays the message instead of the normal page (In fact, I'm not even sure it stops you logging in actually).

Yup, I log in as an Administrator (as per the docs) and it let's me through. That's how I noticed all of the people starting to show up in the "Who is On" display.

I wonder if they're not really on the system, but rather just at the "closed message", even though they show up in that display?

I do have members with "cookies set" who go direct to links other than the home forum page and they show up as being on those pages. Interesting....

Badger

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