Custom Field - UserGroup Specific

[Stilgar]

Hello,

I have added a Custom Field to my Links entries. I would like to allow and disallow this Field on a UserGroup basis.

How would I accomplish this?

Thanks!

Are you trying to allow/disallow groups from viewing the value for that custom field, or are you trying to only let certain groups enter data for that custom field when submitting links?

I am trying to only let certain groups enter data for the custom field when submitting links.

Thanks!

The easiest way would probably be to add a new plugin to the 'vba_links_addlink_start' hook location with code that looks something like this:
if (!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, array(X, Y, Z)))
{
unset(
$vbulletin->adv_links_cfield['1'],
$vbulletin->adv_links_cfield['2'],
$vbulletin->adv_links_cfield['3']
);
}

Replace X, Y, Z on the first line of code there with the usergroupids that you want to allow the custom fields for. Then replace the numbers 1, 2, 3 in the lines below with the customfieldids of the custom fields you want to hide from other groups.

Thank you, Brian. I'll try it out today.
