[3.7.X] View Forum Leaders Based On Usergroup Permissions 2.0

This hack can be used with both vBulletin v3.6.x and v3.7.x.

This is an update of my v3.6.x hack available here.

This simple hack adds usergroup permissions for which Usergroups can view the Forum Leaders page. If a Usergroup does not have permission to view the Forum Leaders page then they will recieve a custom vBulletin no permissions message.

This hack was created because I liked the idea of the request in this thread.

There are no file or template changes at all and is fully phrased.

AdminCP settings for this hack available in vBulletin Options > View Forum Leaders Based On Usergroup Permissions.
Settings that can be changed are:

1. Enable/disable this hack
2. Usergroup permissions - which groups will be able view the Forum Leaders page

Instructions

1. Import ms_leaders_ugp.xml into vB using the AdminCP Product Manager.
2. Alter the settings in the Admin CP to your liking.

Note: If you want to change the custom error message that is displayed, you will need to edit the nopermission_forum_leaders phrase, please ensure that {1}, {2} and {3} are left intact, they represent stylevar[right], forumhome url and the current session url respectively.
