Hi,
I'm german, but i try to write in an understandable english :D

I need a simple Script, which makes it so, that a defined forum is only from e.g. 0pm till 6am available. The users can see the Forum every time, but if they click on it and its not the right time, they get a blockmessage.


Is this understandable for you? :)
Can someone help me?

I don't think it would be, let me have a think and I'll see if I can do it.

Haha, ok it's slightly more difficult than I thought but I'd like to finish it. What exactly would you like the modification to do? To disable replies during closing time? To disable viewing the forum entirely? What about being able to see threads in the closed section from a search?

And so on.

The forum should be viewable everytime. (only the forum, on the forumhome). If the user clicks on it and its not the right time, he should get a message thats not the right time and he cant get in. So nobody (may be only the admin) can reply during the closing time.

Only if it is the right time (opening-time), a user can get acces to the forum and can see all threads and posts.

Well, if nobody has access to the forum during closing time and gets a blockmessage, he can search in this forum, but cant view the posts, because he would get the message that it isnt the right time, right?

Sry, i am only german, my english isnt the best :hurt: :confused:

If you want speed, you post in the paid requests forum. ;)

I'm busy at the moment, I'll see what I can do some time soonish.

A scheduled task to close the forum and a custom error message would probably be the fastest way to go. (no, I don't have time to do it)

Yeah, but I wanted to be able to do it per forum as well which is rather more difficult.

Soonish means soon, but I don't know.

I really don't know how long it will be, sorry. It's just whenever I have the spare time to do something.

And RedTyger?
Did you have time to start? :) (Is this a correct question? I'm german, sry. :D)

RedTyger

I had time to start, but it didn't work the way I expected and then I got sidetracked by other jobs.

If I ever do it, I'll let you know. I'd like to, cos I think others would appreciate it too but I just don't have time at the moment.

I think you should give up and pay someone. :p

toddos
02-10-2007, 09:10 PM

And i am not alone, so maybe we can pay something together for it ?!

I love this idea. Would be a perfect business solution for a forums board if you work at certain hours and run all of your customer service from them...

i think nobody is realizing this...what a shame..

how about somone who is a coder give us what we need to know just an outline. I am like a novice in Java so maybe i can learn a thing or 2. it would prob take me like 4+ month cause i got school and work but i need a hack similar to this

toddos
02-14-2007, 06:51 PM
4 month? thats to long. I think its a very litte script if it has only the one mainfeature...so a coder can script it in a few hours/days
