Allow some usergroups to bypass "server too busy" error

This plugin works on vB 3.5 and 3.6

This is a simple plugin. It allows you to select a primary or secondary usergroup (or groups) to bypass the "server too busy" error message.

Just install the plugin, and edit the plugin from the plugin manager to enter the usergroup id's you would like to let in.

Could you please upload as a zip-file.

This is certainly a nice hack, however the allowed list it through the XML file is not too convenient. Why don't you put that variable as a vBulletin option? Even better, make it a usergroup setting

i think this will only bypass the server-busy sent out by the forum, when the load gets to the count, set in the ACP.

I the server is that busy, that your browser thinks it is busy ... your bowser still will hsow it ... just my opinion. you could try to lower the max load in acp

And in case you want to see my code in global_start:

// Configure some usergroups to bypass "server too busy" message
// Enter the usergroup id's here, seperated by comma
// Example: $BypassGroup = '5,6';
$BypassGroup = '138,140,5,6,132,144';
// End configuration

if (in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], explode(',', $BypassGroup))) {
        $servertoobusy = FALSE;
}
