UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 Mod Questions Different templates for different user categories?

Is there a hack available to give different user types different templates?

I'd like to have different header info and such available based on the type of user.

I'd also like to make some functions available only to specific types of users. Avatars for example.

The first doesn't exist, the other two maybe.

I don't think the other 2 are possible either.

I figured it would be a major undertaking since static html files are created instead of dynamic files.

I was hoping that someone had come up with a creative way to do this.

I figured it would be something along the lines of a call in the header, similar to ad code, that would check to see if it's a particular type of user and then either display a banner ad or not based on that.

My main goal here is to be able to turn banner ads off for some users but leave them on for others.

I don't think you can sperate anything for a specific user.

it could be done I guess, but needs some coding, you could use something on the line 16 lets say the value is "noads" for making sure no ads are displayed. So something like this could be written..

unless ($thisprofile[15] eq "noads") {
print >>ADS;
}

and so on...
