I dont think it will work in 3.8.x ... because in global.php there is nothing ..

Selven asked for this code...

if (!$vbulletin->options['bbactive'] AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'login')
{
	if (!($permissions['adminpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['cancontrolpanel']))

but the closest thing which I could find in 3.8.x global.php is

if (!$vbulletin->options['bbactive'] AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'login')
{
	if (!($vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['cancontrolpanel']))

but not sure.. what to do now..? LOL

This mod in vB 3.8.x would be just wonderful!

I want this on v3.8.x (or v.3.8.2), so the same as the guy above.

[Project Boredom]

that's weird...i just installed it and it worked fine for me. i'm running on 3.8.2 i just found the codes and replaced them like he said :/

[Mecho]

for Version 3.8.X :

in Global.php :

find :

if (!$vbulletin->options['bbactive'] AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'login')
{
	if (!($vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['cancontrolpanel']))

Replace With:

if (!$vbulletin->options['bbactive'] AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'login')
{
	$viewdisabledboard = explode(",", $vbulletin->options["viewdisabledboard"]);
	if (!($vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['cancontrolpanel']) AND  !is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, $viewdisabledboard))

Works Fine .
Thanks
