    forum closed template ?

    i can't seem to find the template which controls what is displayed when you closed off the forum to the rest of the online world ?

    i am trying to get rid of the bbtitle image which is set in it, and replace it with one in my header..

    There is no template as you will find this at the end of global.php

    if ($bbactive==0) {
    $permissions=getpermissions($bbuserid,$bbusergroupid);
    if ($permissions[cancontrolpanel]==0) {
    echo standarderror($bbtitle,$bbclosedreason);
    exit;
    }

    }

    You could make a "forumclosed" template and replace that with this:

    if ($bbactive==0) {
    $permissions=getpermissions($bbuserid,$bbusergroupid);
    if ($permissions[cancontrolpanel]==0) {
    eval("echo dovars(\"".gettemplate("forumclosed")."\");");
    exit;
    }

    }

        Eva actually the message appears in "standarderror" template which is used by all errors. So if you want a different header displayed just for the Forum is off screen then you would need to change the code, otherwise edit "standarderror"

          hehe i found an easy solution - really all i wanted was to remove the inbuilt link to bbtitle image and the home url, so in control panel i pointed to a transparent 2x2 image and it disappeared from the visible eye of all the pages i missed or couldn't get to through the templates
