Question GAB with Paid Subscriptions

Hi there,

I use (and love) GAB and was wondering if someone could help with a small dilemma....

I am introducing a VIP level for members, via paid subscriptions. All is set to go but I simply can't get my head around how to set the GAB . My VIP members will not see ads and that's fine, I have set it in AdminCP > GAB , tested this and it's all good.

The problem is, if they are a secondary member of any other group (that DOES see ads), they automatically see all ads and their excluded VIP setting is ignored.

I need to know if there is a way to set the paid subs/ GAB to keep them in the groups but only set permissions based on their primary usergroup.

Thanks....

Untested but edit the usergroup_views_ads function in the gab_class_core.php file, adding in the bold red bit where X is the primary usergroup ID:
Code:
		if ($this->settings['usergroups_view'] && $this->vb->userinfo['usergroupid'] != X)

Double post!! :P

Adding that line;
Code:
if ($this->settings['usergroups_view']) && $this->vb->userinfo['usergroupid'] != 86)
Generates
Code:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_BOOLEAN_AND in /home/XXXX/public_html/geek/gab/includes/gab_class_core.php on line 333
Code:
    Warning: require_once([path]/geek/gab/includes/gab_class_core.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/global.php(360) : eval()'d code on line 171

    Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/xxxx/public_html/geek/gab/includes/gab_class_core.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/xxxx/public_html/global.php(360) : eval()'d code on line 171

Untested, but it should do what you want, though redo the edit. You added an extra right parenthesis, and that is why you are getting an error.

DOH! I didn't even spot that....

I'll test it and let you know how it goes. Thanks for taking the time to code this up.
