IPB 3.2 skins and the custom backgrounds/colors

[AlbertTCB]

OMG, those 3.2 compatible skins are fantastic. Having just converted from vBulletin to IPB, me and my board skinner are still deciding which templates we are going to use.

I have two questions though (that's also for the two other IPB 3.2 compatible skins on your site):

* you can change the background and color of the skin. You mention that users are allowed to do so. Can we disable this function and only allow mods/admins to do so (or even allow a certain usergroup)?

* can we use one skin, but then use one background for forums 1-5, and another background for forums 6-10?

For the group thing yes you can allow a certain group access it and hide it to others using a simple IF tag. But as far as you 2nd question that would have to be answered by Ehren unsure on that one.

<if> tags can be used for both modifications, if I understand you correctly.

I'm not sure of the code without searching for it first, but it's possible.

[darkrisingx]

<if test="in_array( $this->memberData['member_group_id'], array( 3,4,6 ) )">contents</if>

This should do the trick. Change the 3, 4 and 6 to the groups id you would like it to show. Can find you're groups id in groups manager.

If you are unaware of what to do with that code am sure Ehren will be more then happy to help you.

First code would work with primary usergroup only.

<if test="ipsMember::isInGroup( $this->memberData, array( 4, 7 ) )">
</if>

Second code works with both primary and secondary usergroups.

<if test="ipsMember::isInGroup( $this->memberData, array( 4, 7 ), false )">
</if>
