Forum Permissions

Thanks

Thank you!

How about this:

Guests can see the thread titles, but when they click on it, they get the following error:

Sorry, you're not allowed to view threads when you're not logged in. Please login or <a href="register.php">Register</a>!

This is SO close to what I want... but not quite.

I want specific user groups to be able to see all of the boards (or some at my discretion) on the site but when they click on a board that they do not have permission to see, they get the "not authorized" error that lists possible reasons.

Currently, they cannot see anything. If I switch "Can view forum" to yes in forum permissions, they can see the board but when they click on it, they get a "No posts in the last 30 days" message when this is not the case as there have been posts on that board today.

Solutions?

Thanks,

Your (Broekie) code is as follows:
// To make sure that not logged in users can't view threads
if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==1) {
eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_threadviewnotloggedin")."\");");
exit;
}
// End of code

If that were changed to:
// To make sure that not logged in users can't view threads
if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid']!=2) {
eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_threadviewnotloggedin")."\");");
exit;
}
// End of code

Where 2 is not actually 2 but the group that I want to see that board (a new group that I created)....

Would that work? Does != work in PHP or am I confusing it with ASP? <> perhaps? Anyone? Bueller?

OK... just thought of a problem with that code...

!=2 will not work as it will keep out Admins, SuperMods and Mods. I need something that will make specific boards viewable to four usergroups and produce the "no authorization" error for all other groups. Would this work:

if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid']!=2 || 3 || 4)

Am I now throwing in another language?

Thoughts? Ideas? Help...

Ah... so none of you guys know PHP?

That's kind of surprising...
