Force Guest to use Default Skin

Although the skin selector is usually disabled for guests, you can still manually enter the url to select a skin id from the database and view it.

Although the skin selector is usually disabled for guests, you can still manually enter the url to select a skin id from the database and view it. This simple tutorial will disable that so only members can select skins.

With an ftp client find and open file sources/ipsclass.php.
Find the following code

if ( $this->input['skinid'] )
                 {
                     $id        = $this->input['skinid'];
                     $skin_set  = 1;
                 }

Replace the above with the following code

                 if ( $this->input['skinid'] AND $this->member['id'])
                 {
                     $id        = $this->input['skinid'];
                     $skin_set  = 1;
                 }

                 //------------------------------------------------------
                 // [END] Stop guests from manually inputing Skinid
                 //------------------------------------------------------
