I need this itsy-bitsy-(not spider), but hack please :D

[Pancreas Paul]

Ok, its not really even a hack. Its just a code to put on the forum homepage that decides weather your a admin, and if so, give a link to the admin CP. And if your a mod, give a link to the mod CP. I would really appreciate this. Thanx alot.

open root/global.php
Find:

PHP Code:

// Referer stuff
if ($bbuserinfo['userid']==0 and $usereferrer and !$bbreferrerid and $referrerid) {
  if ($r_id = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid FROM user WHERE userid = '".addslashes($referrerid)."'")) {
    vbsetcookie("bbreferrerid",$r_id[userid]);
  }
} 


Add below:

PHP Code:

//Administrative/Moderator Login
if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6) { //Admins
$adminlogin = "<a href=\"admin/index.php\">Administrative Login</a><br>";
} elseif (($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==5) or ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==7)) { //Mods
$adminlogin = "<a href=\"mod/index.php\">Moderator Login</a><br>";
} else { //Everyone else
$adminlogin = "";
}
//End Login Code 


Now just place "$adminlogin" in your footer or header template, and it will appear on every page!

You can also add the code there for global.php in the phpinclude template so its not lost during upgrades

I was just about to say that - most of the time, if it's for permissions, put the code in the phpinclude template - much easier, and no need to hack.

[Chris M]

Yeh...

I prefer the global.php way personally

Ok, thaxn for replying so quick.. Thats why I love this board

[Chris M]

Lol...Your welcome

You reminded me actually to update my phpinclude template, and put all the extra stuff into global.php

i'd advice you to install logicians dynamic templates hack

with conditional templates those things are much easier

[Erwin]

And when vB3 comes out with conditional templates, all this hacking will be unnecessary!

[Chris M]

I wouldnt say unnecessary

@Xenon - After a mishap earlier today with Logician's Advanced Templates Hack, I decided against using it for a while
