Remove access to New Threads

[eNforce]

I'm looking for a Mod to remove access to New Threads in a specific forum for a single specific member.

does one exist?

well, you can use conditional in templates to do the trick.

I don't know how to do this :surprised:

In your forumdisplay template find the bit that says about newthread.gif and around that code add something like:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[userid]!=x">
all the stuff about newthread.gif
</if>

Change the x to the userid number of the user that you dont want to display the button to.

There are two instances of this in the template so make sure that you do both of them.

BTW, I've not checked the code, just done it from memory so if theres a bug give me a poke and I'll fix it.

Does that remove the users new thread privileges to all forums? I want to only remove it for a specific forum :squareeyed:

ooops yeah it would.

<if condition="$forum[forumid]=x">
       <if condition="$bbuserinfo[userid]!=y">
                   stuff for button
       </if>
<else />
       stuff for button
</if>

should do it. of course this is even more untested coz of the nested if's.

x = forum id number
y = user id number

you can also write:

<if condition="($forum[forumid]=x) AND ($bbuserinfo[userid]!=y")>msg</if>

I like this method, however I fiddled around with it for at least an hour and can't figure out where to paste it :disappointed:
