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:

PHP Code:

  INSERT INTO `setting` ( `settingid` , `settinggroupid` , `title` , `varname` , `value` , `description` , `optioncode` , `displayorder` ) VALUES ('', '19', 'Only allow staff to send PMs/users to send PMs to staff?', 'staffsendspms', '0', 'Do you want to only allow staff (moderators, supermoderators and administrators) to be allowed to send PMs, and only allow users to send PMs to staff?', 'yesno', '25');

which means that i already have this done on my forum.

Open private.php and find

PHP Code:

   $signature=iif($signature=="yes",1,0);

Above, add

PHP Code:

   // [Gary W] only allow staff to send / only allow users to send to staff 

    if ($staffsendspms and ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 5 and $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 6 and $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 7) and ($touserinfo['usergroupid'] != 5 and $touserinfo['usergroupid'] != 6 and $touserinfo['usergroupid'] != 7)) 

    { 

        eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_canonlypmstaff")."\");"); 

        exit; 

    }

Create a new template named error_canonlypmstaff with the following content

HTML Code:

You can only send PMs to a member of the forum staff (administrator, supermoderator or moderator!)

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

PHP Code:

  $touserid = trim(addslashes(htmlspecialchars_uni($_GET['u'])));

 
if (($vbulletin->userinfo[usergroupid] != 5 and $vbulletin->userinfo[usergroupid] != 999 and $vbulletin->userinfo[usergroupid] != 7) AND ($touserid != 961))

{

    print_no_permission();

}
