Is there a way to close the board, but for admins to view it as if it wasn't? Because when trying to hack or update the board, it would be nice if Admins could preview it just to make sure.

That would be a good idea. /Runs off to see what he can do

i was just lookin in ultimatebb.cgi and i found



mabey you can modify that to let admins and mods go through like mabey looks at member status

I tried putting this code in there. But kept getting software errors.

just change:

if ($vars_misc{BBStatus} ne 'ON') {

to:

if (($vars_misc{BBStatus} ne 'ON') && ($this_member[8] ne 'Administrator')) {

Didn't work, jordo. At least there wasn't any errors.

nevermind, didn't work

please any one figure this out yet?

I tried putting eq instead of ne, but that just opened the board up to everyone even though it said it was closed.

Maybe try this:

it doesnt work cause the members profile isnt defined yet...

you could try this:
@user_profile = &verify_id_num($username, $password, $user_number);

if (($vars_misc{BBStatus} ne 'ON') && ($user_profile[8] ne 'Administrator')) {


but it will only work if the cookie has been read before then...

What code reads the cookie?

Got this error even when board is open
