Hi all, i'll be performing alot of changes to my forum soon and i'll be closing it to public viewing. However is there anyway to allow my mods to be able to see the board as i'lll need help testing...

Cheers,
Taz

Close your board in the admin panel - it can still be viewed by your mods/admins.

Nope...

It can only be viewed by your Admins...

I believe there is a way, but I dont know how...:(

Ok:)

Open up global.php (root folder)

Find :
// check that board is active - if not admin, then display error
if (!$bbactive) {
if (!$permissions['cancontrolpanel']) {
eval("standarderror(\"".str_replace("\'", "'", addslashes($bbclosedreason))."\");");
exit;
}
}

Replace with :

// check that board is active - if not admin, then display error
if (!$bbactive) {
if (!$permissions['cancontrolpanel'] or !$permissions['ismoderator'] or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid']!=7) {
eval("standarderror(\"".str_replace("\'", "'", addslashes($bbclosedreason))."\");");
exit;
}
}

:)

That should work...:) If not, change the "or" s in the :
if (!$permissions['cancontrolpanel'] or !$permissions['ismoderator'] or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid']!=7) {
to "and":)
