annoying whosonline guest

[Lionel]

In a forum for members only, if a guest attempts to view a protected location, whosonline shows the guest in that location. Is there a way to have it :"attempting to access members only location" if is guest and board or forum protected?

I was trying to do something like this a while ago but as far as I remember it wasn't that simple.
I'll have another go at it later...

but, cant we say if userid=0 (all guests have same id) and not in faq, register.php and other permissable location, then say attempting to view a restricted area?

[Admin]

I was thinking of something a lot more global, to fit all boards with their permissions.
So even if a registered user tries to see a private forum we will see the right message.

post a quick one that will show all guests as attempting to view members only area? ;)

You could intercept the update to the location field and alter it to be something else in the show_nopermission() call. Look at the updateuserforum() function as a guide perhaps.
