vb.org Archive - Links and Downloads Manager

Well, you have to set the categories to a forum that they cannot see then. For example a regular user cannot see the LIMMAC Downloads section on my site, but LIMMAC Members can, because the category is set for a protected forum that the LIMMAC Members only can access, hence the category is not visible in LDM.

You could also wrap your template(s) with an IF statement, and filter usergroups that way. Doing so will result in a member seeing like.. a category has 10 things, but when they look in it, they only see 5 things cause the other 5 are hidden from the usergroup. This way gets more granular results because they might be able to see the category, but not the item.

Wrap your template with this from before the <table> and right after the </table>:

Replace what usergroups you want to allow with the numbers.

Code:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 5,6,7,9,10)">



</if>

Example:

Code:

<tr>

<td colspan="2">

<div style="margin-top:3px">

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 5,6,7,9,10)">

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

...template code...

</table>

</if>

</div>

</td>

</tr>

It's not clear to me what you are trying to achieve.

Do you want the existence of the private entries to be visible to the restricted usergroups or not?

If not, when would this error message be triggered?

You can easily make a category visible to everyone but only have certain of its entries visible

You can also easily make the category and all its entries visible but trigger an error message when a user tries to access those which are resticted.

or

You can make the category itself invisible to general users.
