In ubb 7.7.4 even if I set cp access to 0 they still get a menu item that displays the control panel link.
How do I block them completely from the control panel.

But what is it purpose.

It is a php "heredoc"
https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.syntax.heredoc

The heredoc syntax is a much cleaner way (useful) to work with multi-line strings and avoid quoting issues. They are a great alternative to quoted strings because of increased readability and maintainability. You don't have to escape quotes and (good) IDEs or text editors will use the proper syntax highlighting.

A very common example: echoing out HTML from within PHP:
Code
$html = <<<HTML
  <div class='something'>
    <ul class='mylist'>
      <li>$something</li>
      <li>$whatever</li>
      <li>$testing123</li>
    </ul>
  </div>
HTML;

// Sometime later
echo $html;

Thanks i thought it was a heredoc.
Just wanted to make sure
Made the change easy.
Just added the admin only statement for open/close forum to each item in the dashboard template required.
I hated doing that but that is what was requested.

HA HA. That is why I posted here.
He will be sorry when he forgets things like allow mods to process pending members was hidden and then I will forget what I did but oh well that is what he wanted.

Or the story will be the next update when it raises it's head again and he wants it gone. Again I will need to find it.

But to his defense he has had the board since classic and he knows what he wants it to do.

keep "customization notes" for each client, the same way we keep changelogs. it makes it easier to find what was changed and when. then review the notes when upgrading or troubleshooting for anything that your changes may break.

a good plan is to also submit these customization notes with your invoice to the client.
