UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 Mod Questions disable search for guests?

how can this be done??
i tried this but no luck

if ($in{'action'} eq "intro") {
if ($AllowSearch eq "FALSE" || $username eq "") {
&StandardHTML("Sorry, the search function is not activated at this time.");
exit;
} else {
&Intro;
}
}

tx in advance

I think you would be better off wotking on the $AllowSearch variable. It is called from UltBB.setup and interpretted as true/false. If you had a conditional statement in search.cgi that basically assigned the stored value for $AllowSearch for all users EXCEPT unregistered users...which it would then assign FALSE at all times....you *might* be OK!! I don't have time to do it right now...and I may even be WAY off the mark....but that is what I would try to do. Good luck!! Did any of that make sense??? I hope so!!

done
now guests no longer can use the search feature

Why don't you want them to use it?

How did you end up doing it? I'm not really interested in the exact code...just how you went about it.
