Users awaiting confirmation not allowed to view threads

The following code does not allow guests to view actual threads (just thread titles). I want to expand this to include some other usergroups. (It's from PPN's guestview thread hack.)

PHP Code:

if (!$forum['allowguestpostview'] && !$bbuserinfo['userid']) {
  eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_noguestviewpost")."\");");
  exit;
} 

Will the following code also not allow users awaiting registration confirmation to view threads as well (or am I missing something or doing something wrong here)?

PHP Code:

if (in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(1, 3, 4, 8)) && !$forum['allowguestpostview'] && !$bbuserinfo['userid']) {
  eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_noguestviewpost")."\");");
  exit;
}

Here is the code that I came up with to work for this:

PHP Code:

if (!$forum['allowguestpostview'] && !$bbuserinfo['userid']) {
  eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_noguestviewpost")."\");");
} else if (!$forum['allowguestpostview'] && in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(3, 4))) {
  eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_nowaitviewpost")."\");");
  exit;
} 

It works but I need to know if there is a cleaner way to do this. Anyone?

I see you use vbHome.... Teck has a great hack over at TW that does exactly this.

That's the one we couldn't get to work, remember? I think you even looked at the code and we couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. I went this route since Teck wasn't going to help me figure it out.

ah, yes. I do now. Is a shame. It's a great hack. Have it installed on my forums. Guests, UAEC can view thread titles, but not posts.

This one works just like that with the code I added above now. It is only on a per forum basis (not usergroups or individual users) but it works like I needed it to.
