Description:
A powerful tool for customizing the generic vBulletin access denied message.
Created a custom message for any vBulletin generic access denied message.
Personalize messages with any user, forum or usergroup information.
Automatically send a PM to one or more users the first time a member receives a specific access denied message.
Personalize the PM with any user, forum or usergroup information.
Add an approval link to the automatic PM that will give the user a new primary or secondary usergroup of your choice when clicked.
Send a PM to everyone who received the original access request, and the requesting user, when they are approved.
Several layers of security.
Use Case
On my board we only allow access to a few forums until a user has been approved by an admin. The sample screen shots show this process in action.
Install
Download the vbAccessDenied_1.0.zip file.
Unzip and upload the files in the upload directory to your forum root.
Import the product file in your admincp.
Create custom messages as desired.
1.1 Changes
Supports bbcodes in messages (see updated screen shot).
Fixed sql bug that prevented many messages from showing properly.
Removed 255 character limit on messages.
Upgrade from 1.0 to 1.1
You will need to reupload all files, and uninstall and reinstall the product to upgrade from 1.0 to 1.1. Please copy your messages to a text editor first if you want to save them.

is it possible to use that to block access to example download section? its not in a forum but its apart of vb?
You can't block anything with this. All it does is allow you to customize the generic vBulletin access denied message for things you can already block.
So, if downloads generate a generic access denied message (I'd have to check) then you can customize it.
can this be used to display error messages for php extensions. like the arcade [arcade.php], and other modifications, rather than just error messages for forum access?
EDIT: I just read the above message... Things like the arcade have a 'usergroup permission', but this displayed the "You do not have permission to view this page', can that be customised for the different modifications?

It can be used for anything that generates a generic access denied message - and that is much more than just forums access. Calendar access, member list, attachments, etc. etc.
It cannot be used for third party hacks, because it does not include them in the list of things that generate those messages. However, that is an interesting idea. I will look into that.
Edit:
BTW, You'll see that there is a pulldown for "Script & Action" for advance users only. It will give you an idea of all the things that generate the generic access denied message.
