Script settings

HOW DOES IT WORK?

This script allows you to browse the / groups page of your forum and check if the member belongs to the group designated by the script or not. If the latter belongs to a group designated by said script then the exécutions will apply .

DESIGNATION OF THE GROUP

In the script given in step 1 of this tutorial (depending on the version of your forum), you should indicate the group name in the variable /

Code:: name_of_group

/ . For example, if I have a " Members " group, then I will have to write

Code:: / Members /

, being careful to leave the symbol

Code:: /

on both sides. For a PhpBB3 forum, this would then give:

DESIGNATION OF PERFORMANCES

Now it is necessary to inform the executions based on the membership of the group of members. To illustrate the many possibilities available to you, we offer the following illustrations.

Display a link in the menu toolbar
