vBulletin LTS

CMS Disabler
Mod Version: 2.00, by Trek

Reason why I wrote this mod

When vB4 gold comes out, I'd like to switch to it, get my forums working first and foremost. While that work is going on, I have content authors that need to create content, but I don't want this done on a live site where my users can see them working. I also need to skin the CMS, etc.

Once things are skinned, content is written, all of that. I want to simply "turn it on" and everything is live and ready to go.

What this mod does

• Allows you to set usergroups that can access your CMS.
• If a user is not of this usergroup, they are forwarded to the forums.php page.
• It will not display the "Home" button on the tabnav if the user is not in the allowed usergroups list as well.

Notes

Thanks


BirdOPrey5, for updating the mod to work with vb 4.2 as well as fixing some other issues. I'm no longer supporting the mod and the code is reusable and I've updated the download to reflect his code/changes.

To Lynne for telling me what I needed to do when I asked the question, but not specifically telling me how to do it (doing it for me). Learning is fun, sometimes.

Installation:

Install the XML as you would any other vB mod.
