In the members_menu.html where the forum link is I have {LIVE_CHAT_LINK} {LIVE_VIDEO_LINK} {FORUM_LINK} yet only the forum is a live link.

Anyhow, I want to restrict the forum to paid members. I'm tired of policing it for contact information. Any clues?

open engine/pages/members_menu.php

find this near line.. 45

Code: Select all

if(file_exists("engine/pages/forum.php"))
      {
         $forum_link = '<a href="index.php?page=forum" class="m">'."Forum".'</a> |';
      }
      
      parseVariables("templates/members_menu.html");   
   }
?>

replace that code with the code below.... I did not test this so let me know if there is any problems...

Code: Select all

if(file_exists("engine/pages/forum.php"))
      {
         $fMemberm = f(q("SELECT status FROM dt_members WHERE member_id='$fMember[id]'"));
            if($fMemberm[system_status] || $fMember[unlimited])
         {
         $forum_link = '<a href="index.php?page=forum" class="m">'."Forum".'</a> |';
         }
      }
      
      parseVariables("templates/members_menu.html");   
   }
?>

Thank you. It does work. I added

else { $forum_link = 'Forum |';}

because I want the unpaid users to see that there is a forum.

[paul]

you should probably make it link to the billing page so they may subscribe.

[mutton]

Good point.


else
{
$forum_link = '<a href="index.php?page=billing" class="m">'."Forum".'</a> |';
}
