Forum Admin

$mkportals->member['g_access_cp'] is set in /mkportal/include/***/***_driverf.php. It is set according to which Forum group is the default Admin group.

For example in ipb_driverf.php you can see that the value for $mkportals->member['g_access_cp'] is set to "1". This is a global value.

if($mkportals->member['mgroup'] == 4) {
	$mkportals->member['g_access_cp'] = 1;
}

------------
Portal Admin

$mklib->member['g_access_cpa'] is a permissions value that corresponds to the "Can Manage MKPortal?" setting in Portal CP > Permissions. This is also a global value.

"$mklib->member['g_access_cpa']" is called in functions.php (function read_member). It reads the Portal permissions for each forum usergroup that are stored in the database table mkp_pgroups.

The default value of "$mklib->member['g_access_cpa']" for all usergroups is "0" except for Forum Admin which is blank '' since there is no mkp_pgroups database row for Forum Admin.

Usage Examples



Example: Show message to everyone except Forum and Portal Admins.

	if( !$mkportals->member['g_access_cp'] && !$mklib->member['g_access_cpa'] ) {
		$content = "Hello World!";
	}

This code says "if the user does not have permissions to access the Forum CP and the user does not have permissions to access the Portal CP then display the message "Hello World!". So everyone will see the message except Forum and Portal Admins. If you removed the code "&& !$mklib->member['g_access_cpa']" then the message would also display to Portal Admins."



Example: Conversely you can display a message only to Forum Admins with this code...

	if( $mkportals->member['g_access_cp'] ) {
		$content = "Hello World!";
	}

This code says "if the user does have permissions to access the Forum CP then display the message "Hello World!". So only Forum Admins will the message. If you used the code "$mklib->member['g_access_cpa']" instead of "$mkportals->member['g_access_cp']" then the message would only display to Portal Admins.


In these examples I only display the message "Hello World!" but you could perform any action in a similar way.
