Show a message box just to a certain user group
Goal: If a user is moved to a certain usergroup, I want them to see a different view of the forum then other registered users. Specifically, I want the forum listings to be wholly replaced by a message box saying ´your email address is no longer valid.. please click here to update it...´ blah blah blah. This is to combat people with expired or no longer valid emails, or those who have not responded to the email verification mail. My thought is its similar to the box unregistered users see when viewing the site - but taken further by removing the forums they see. How is the default box shown to people not logged in box implemented? The one that says... " If this is your first visit, be sure to check out the FAQ by clicking the link above. You may have to register before you can post: click the register link above to proceed. To start viewing messages, select the forum that you want to visit from the selection below." Is this displayed by some conditional based on usergroups in the templates? If I want to do something similar would I replicate that with tweaks and it requires a template edit? Is there a better way (besides announcements) to do something like this?
