Codezwiz >> Forums >> General PHP Nuke Help >> I want to take advantage of the Forums User Group feature..

Meaning, I want to do a check at the begining of my content/custom modules to only allow a certain Forum User GRoup to view them. I know the Content module has its 'Registered Users Only' feature but thats not enough, I only want to allow the users of a certain group to view the content module -and- my custom made modules I made for my site. Before I go ripping through the forums to try and figure out what funtions/queries are used when limiting access in forums per user groups I was wondering if someone already knew and was willing to share..

Well I figured I would start poking around and decided to test my theory so far like this:

$user_check = explode(":", $nukeuser);
$privresult = mysql_query("SELECT group_id FROM nuke_bbuser_group where user_id='".$user_check[0]."'");
$userrow = mysql_fetch_array($privresult);
OpenTable();
echo "
$nukeuser<br>
$user_check[0]<br>
$userrow[0]";
CloseTable();

This has to be the ugliest piece of code I've ever written, but it works, if anyone has any better ideas please share them..

$user_check = explode(":", $nukeuser);
$privresult = mysql_query("SELECT group_id FROM nuke_bbuser_group where user_id='".$user_check[0]."'");
while($row = mysql_fetch_row($privresult))
{
foreach($row as $i => $value) {
if ($value==197)
{
$approved = "1";
break;
} else {
$approved = "2";
}
}
}
if ($approved != 1)
{
OpenTable();
echo "Access Denied.";
CloseTable();
die();
} else {
....rest of my module
}
