Hack Support
This hack is now discontinued - this means that while it will remain available for download and use, there will be no further updates, nor will support be provided as the thread is no longer monitored. But not to worry, you can now check out the new 3.8.x version of this hack which will work with v3.7.x, as well as with v3.6.12 (and maybe even earlier versions). Please click Mark as Installed if you are using this hack. vBulletin Version Compatibility This hack can be used with both vBulletin v3.6.x and v3.7.x What Does This Hack Do? This hack allows you to force a style to certain usergroup(s), secondary usergroup(s), and/or certain user(s) or any combination of the three. It is a port/update of my v3.5.x hack available here, apart from the fact that settings are now controlled from the AdminCP. Scenario The setup on my forums is that I use the default style as the parent to all my other styles which makes modifying the templates easy for me, I just edit my default style and the child styles inherit the changes. I wanted to use a child style as the standard style for visitors and members, but not have them have a choice of the default template at all, but as soon as you logged out you were presented with the default template that you did not want guests to see. This hack rectifies that. It also allows you to let others use the Default Style while forcing the usergroup(s)/member(s) to the one style you selected. Note: There is no upgrade path from my v3.5.x version, you have to uninstall that one first before installing this one. Installation Instructions
What if you need custom style permissions as well? This question has been asked a few times: What if you need custom style permissions so that you can control which usergroups see/select what styles? The hack I use is Andreas's Restrict Style to Usergroup hack which he released for v3.5.x. It is because of that hack that this one exists, and I have tested it on v3.5.x, v3.6.x and v3.7.x, and it works for three versions and works fine with my hacks as well. For instance on my forum I need to use both hacks, as the style I force on my guests and normal members is not selectable nor do I allow them permission to use it, and is also not my default style (all my other styles are child styles of my default one), so without Andreas's hack I would not be able to do this. But just to let you know that Andreas's hack is unsupported and is not likely to ever be supported (unless it is a proven bug), so if you have problems with it, you are on your own. Version History v1.01 - Wednesday 11th April 2007 -- Final Release -- Added: AdminCP option v1.00 - Tuesday 3rd April 2007 -- Initial Release Show Your Appreciation Although not required, if you have enjoyed the benefits of this hack, and would like show your appreciation for my efforts, then please feel free to click on the Support Developer link and donate any amount you feel is appropriate.

Hey cool, i also do the same thing with having all the child templates taking hold from the default template, makes it so much easier in editing templates.
I'm sure ill find a use for this hack in the near future. thanks.

For instance, on my own forum, guests and normal members get the same child style, but members who have been promoted to another group, have a selection of styles including the Default Style and your method would not work in this situation.

Well, you didn't say that, now did you.
In that case, this mod is perfect.
