Bypass 'Can view forum' permission

[Dean C]

I have it set up on my testforum that guests cannot view the forum (set via the permission). However, there is one script I'd like them to see without having to log in. Is there a way I can bypass this permission?

not without hacking into global.php.

If on 3.0.7 find:
$allowed_scripts = array(
'register',
'login',
'image',
'sendmessage',
);
and add your script.

oops 3.5, well i guess it will be almost same.

Edit: yes it is.

Meh, I really really don't want to have to hack lol. *looks in global.php*

Edit:

Yep, there's no hook to add to that array in 3.5 either

Marco came up with a solution. Although not accurate just set THIS_SCRIPT to sendmessage :)

Marco's solution doesn't actually work :( In fact it appears that the permission is done elsewhere. As I manually added my script to that array and I still get the no perms error.
