Usergroups access to a different style ?

[wii]

Is it possible to setup the forum, so that specific usergroups see different styles of the forum ?

Thanks

Not by default but I can't imagine it would be terribly hard to plugin to the forum style override and change the styleid depending on the usergroup.

Who can I ask to do this modification ?

You might want to try it for yourself, take a look at global.php for a sample of code that should get the job done

You can modify this for usergroups conditional...

If I could I would, I´m not a programmer in any way or form, unfortunately...

You could insert this in the global.php file where the following hook is:
($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('style_fetch')) ? eval($hook) : false;

PHP Code:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == 10)
{
    $vbulletin->userinfo['styleid'] = 2;
    $styleid = 2;
}
else if ($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == 20)
{
    $vbulletin->userinfo['styleid'] = 3;
    $styleid = 3;
} 


replace the above numbers with those of your usergroups and desired styles

You may not be a coder now, but learning is the key, baby steps
