Great hack, I too am wondering how it could be used selectively on one or more specific forums though.

Very nice, i have only one problem, for those of us using portals such as vbindex i figured out taht you can still view threads as unregistered by clicking under "latest threads". Is there any way from preventing unregistered users from doing this?

So here we go:

Open up the vbindex.php for vBIndex and find

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($vbindex['options'] & VBI_SHOWTHREADS) {

Replace with

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($vbindex['options'] & VBI_SHOWTHREADS and $bbuserinfo[userid] != 0) {

There we go that should work :D

Great hack, thank you. Can someone tell me how to accomplish this though: I have a few forums that only certain usergroups (paid subscribers) can access, but I want regular registered users to be able to see the post counts and threads, but not the content, just like guests now see with this hack (as opposed to "Never" and 0's). Is this possible? Thank you. Also, it works perfect for guests in these areas, just not registered users. :(

I checked my stats and we now have on average between 40 to 55 new registrations a day with this, thanks (compared to our usual 5 a day)! But man, I apologize to ask again, but I have a paid restricted area that we used to get about 3 people a week sign up for, but now we only one in the last month, and it's definitely because these protected areas always look empty. Any advice? :(

Thank you very much! That worked. I had to go through and add one for each forum. Not sure if there's an easier way, but this works. Thank you very much.

Here's what I added which is for 3 different forums that are only for certain groups (paid subscribers):

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 2 and $forumid == 73) 

{ 

    print_no_permission(); 

}

if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 2 and $forumid == 45) 

{ 

    print_no_permission(); 

}

if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 2 and $forumid == 95) 

{ 

    print_no_permission(); 

}

Well I spoke too soon. Although it workds perfect if you manually change users to a primary usergroup, it blocks out "Secondary Usergroups" that are paid subscribers who have legitimate access.

What I'm wondering is if I can simply use the same codes, but instead of print_no_permission, add say three more that say if in a certain usergroup (paid subscribers that listed as registered id:2, and a secondary usergroup, id:35), then grant permission.

For example,

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 9 and $forumid == 95) 

{ 

    grant_permission(); 

}

The "grant_permission" is totally wrong, I just don't know the term. But I'm just wondering how I can have it check userid and "allow" access. Any help is great. Thanks (also, even though the first 3 are disallowing the registered users, the secondary usergroups would have a different id number and should be able to enter). I hope this makes sense.

Easier way would be to do it like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 2 and ($forumid == 73 or $forumid == 45 or $forumid == 95))

{ 

    print_no_permission(); 

}

This was a reply to your previous post, I'll look more into your latest one.

Try this:

PHP Code:


		
			
$membergroups = explode(',',$bbuserinfo[membergroupids]);



if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 2 and ($forumid == 73 or $forumid == 45 or $forumid == 95) and !array_search(X,$membergroups)) 

{ 

    print_no_permission(); 

}

and replace X with the paid subscriber usergroupid. This code will check if the user has a membergroup of the paid subscribers group.

could it be not only no_permission,
but

BIG letters: REgister as well?

Nope, not if I understand you correctly anyhow.

This is a Fantastic hack but I would like it to see it take one step further

I would like it to do what it does now but only if there is X amount of guests in the forum

Say when 10 people(or any #) are guests the script kicks in

Is this possible?

Can this be done in 2.3.4? If so, can someone steer me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Gary, great hack. Is there a way to turn this off for only one forum? I have a Guest forum that has site features etc that I link to across the site.

Thanks!!!

Replace

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($bbuserinfo['userid'] == 0) 

{ 

    print_no_permission(); 

}

with

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($bbuserinfo['userid'] == 0 and $forumid != X) 

{ 

    print_no_permission(); 

}

Replace X with the guest forum ID :)

OK, this works like a champ...so let's make it even more complex. :)

How about configuring multiple forums that a user CAN view as a guest? Is there a simpler way than writing a statement for each forum? I tried the code below with no luck.

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($bbuserinfo['userid'] == 0 and ($forumid != 102 or $forumid != 103))

I'd ideally like to prevent guests and awaiting email confirmation from seeing all but a few select forums.

I have installed this and it is working great for us. I have one question though is there any way to get the thread title to appear in the title or in the actual text of the error page? The thread/forum/post ID# is in the url. I have tried a couple of things with out any success.

Great hack! My question is this, I have about 3 forums with a few selected sub-forums I want to allow. How do I deperate them?

I tried the above and can only get one or two to work.

Thank you for this good hack, but....
Very important:

Open template:threadbit and find:

PHP Code:


		
			
<td class="alt1Active" id="t$thread[threadid]" title="$thread[preview]">

Replace with:

PHP Code:


		
			
<td class="alt1Active" id="t$thread[threadid]" <if condition="$show['member']">title="$thread[preview]"</if>>

save edit.

Notice: Make this change with all your styles.

Best regards

Well the my forum pages that are cached in google are not from the archive pages, they are from the main forums pages. So please address the issue regarding that.

Problem solved, check new instructions :) (The part where you have to add new code)

No new functionality has been added AFAIK, only bugfixes.

Gary I saw your revised hack in post#1 (is that where you changed the hack?) just making sure.

Also, I just wanted to confirm it will allow google bot, adsense bot (2 different google bots), yahoo, MSN or other big bots. Seems like you had added some. But I am technically challenged. Please respond. And once again thanks for helping us out
