Allow mods and supermods to view a closed boards

[geniuscrew]

Hi peeps,

Our boards are closed for renovating, so is there a way to allow mods and supermods to view a board that is closed? At the moment only admins can, but i'd like other colleagues to see it as well.

Thanx for any help!

I think that also super mods can see the close board, but I don't know

Smods cannot see the board when it is closed... I was just thinking about making this

I was told it'd require a hack over at vbulletin.com :-/

If someone can possibly do it, it'd be great big help.

In global.php find around line 333

PHP Code:

  if (!$permissions['cancontrolpanel']) {
    eval("standarderror(\"".str_replace("\'", "'", addslashes($bbclosedreason))."\");");
    exit;
  } 


replace it with

PHP Code:

  if (!$permissions['cancontrolpanel'] && ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]!=7 && $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]!=5)) {
    eval("standarderror(\"".str_replace("\'", "'", addslashes($bbclosedreason))."\");");
    exit;
  }
