Great idea, installed.

but i need only admin to force users to read, so if at least need something just to enable it and disable it.

Thank you again.

Working on both features.

Hello

This is greet hack I installed it,
But I want to make this option to Admins only not for mods. ,
Please tell me how to nake this?

Thanks a lot
George

Just installed on 3.6.8, haven't seen any problems.

How would that help? Every time they went to create a new thread, it would take them to the form? That's overkill and would prevent users from creating normal threads.

In my case, this is a one-time form, soliciting their feedback for volunteer time shifts (for a charity.) If there was a way to "force" them to visit it, I wouldn't have to keep reminding them of our deadline.

Thanks anyway...

What happens if we delete the thread that we forced the users to read? Will the affect of redirecting users to read that thread be uplifted? Will users who login later be directed to the homepage as usual? Cuz some users have reported they get the forceread message when they login but then when the thread is deleted it doesn't enable them to browse the forum and post. It's like their banned? :S

Very good hack. Installed and working w/o any problem.

ya i had reports of people getting stuck at that message

not being able to go past it no matter what

and trust me they are not dumb kids either

is there a reason for that?

Had this installed and recently tested my registration procedure :-

When I register, the first thing I get is the pop up window with 'forced thread warning'.
When I click on it to read the thread it tells me that I do not have permission to read the thread, I have quite a few forums where members must make at least one post to view content, I tried to close the window and the only way I can close it it by using the 'x' on the top right. It then gives me another warning pop up with the same message because I had done a few forced readings for members.
It sure was a hassle to get into the forum itself that way. And this all happened before activation.
So if newly registered members encounter this before even activating their account????

Working on it.


I would have to look at your forum.
I'm going to try to make it that they need permission to view the thread for this error message to come up. For now, dont delete theads before removing this feature and dont force users to read a thread if they dont have permission.
