Restricting access for quizzes to a usergroup

[battye]

I'll split this into a new topic over the next day or so.

The coding of it is not too difficult, providing you don't mind missing out on the ACP side of it (ie. it will be very quick to just put something in the code saying "only allow access if user is from usergroup X" but would take considerably longer to build ACP options for it too).

Would that be suitable?

That's perfect. Got no problem with that and I really appreciate it!

What is the ID number of the usergroup you want to allow access? If you go to the usergroup page it should be the ID in the address bar.

That's the URL address of the usergroup (Access All Areas) page but can't make head or tail of what the ID is from that though. 292? 29?

Think I've cracked it.... after much fiddling. Inserted the following code into quiz.php:

Code: Select all

      $groupid=10; // ID of group whitch can enter to players database 
      $us_id=$userdata['user_id']; //ID of the current logged in user 

      if ($userdata['user_level'] != ADMIN){ 
      $sql = "SELECT group_id,user_id 
      FROM phpbb_user_group 
      WHERE group_id=".$groupid." AND user_id=".$us_id; 

      if( !($result = $db->sql_query($sql)) ){ 
              message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, 'Could not Check for group membership', '', __LINE__, __FILE__, $sql);} 
      $row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result); 

      if ($row['user_id']==''){ 
      message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, 'Sorry - You can not access this page.', '', '', ''); 
      } 
      } 

I gave the wrong URL as UQM is currently installed at my test site and the actual user group ID is 10. (That URL was for live forum lol).

That looks fine to me! Well done!
