How can I force styles by Usergroup

[Rckcrwlr]

There used to be a Mod for it but is not compatible with 4.1.10 from what I am hearing.

Any other options?

Have you tried this mod: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...=229038&page=3 ? In the last post someone mentions it working with a recent version, if you change the version check in the product xml before importing.

I'm not good at this stuff.

Would I change it to 4.1.10?

What is the worst that could happen?

Thanks

Yeah, try 4.1.10. To be honest I'm not sure what happens if you have it installed and then update vb to a later version. You could enter 5.0.0, but I don't know if it's necessary. It really doesn't matter what's there until/unless some incompatability appears in a later version.

Well, the worst that would happen is it causes problems with your site and you have to uninstall it. But I think that's unlikely. I think it's much more likely that if it's incompatible that it just won't work.

How do you edit it? I opened it and it is un-editable. is there a special program needed?

Oh, you probably need to save it to your computer then edit it with a text editor. I think it you just open it in windows it opens it read-only in a browser. Try right-clicking it and choosing "edit". I think that will open it in notepad which will probably work OK.

Doesn't look like it is working for 4.1.10

I guess my next question is how can I do this?

I have to groups that frequent my site. If I can give them their "look" they will sponsor and support the site.

I will need to have three styles.

When someone is identified in that group I could assign them a usergroup that will then change the look to match theirs.

You could try a plugin using hook style_fetch and code like this:

if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 1, 2, 3))
{
    $styleid = ID1;
}
else if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 4, 5))
{
    $styleid = ID2;
}
// etc

and of course replace ID1 and ID2 with actual style ids.
