Hi..

i have a hack on my 2.3 and i've been looking for it for 3.0 and now for 3.5 and it is the only thing that prevents me from upgrading my forum. i already have it and i am wondering if i upgrade my forum to 3.5 what are the modification that i should do to my forum and/or to the code so that it works perfectly.

-----------
What does this hack do?

It restricts the user's usage of private messages, so that they can only send/receive private messages from administrators, supermoderators or moderators.

You are also able to turn this on or off at will, in the settings area of the admincp.

and it was like that:

Instructions

Run the following query:
SQL Query:
which means that i already have this done on my forum.

Open private.php and find

Above, add
Create a new template named error_canonlypmstaff with the following content

anyone please?

Don't know if you still need it, but this is what I could code for you in a few minutes:

Put that in hook private_start

You will need to hardcode the specific staffmembers, since I don't think I can use a $touser[usergroupid].

thanx alot for your help but this will be verry difficult as we have a very large number..

thanx anyway
