ChaunSE, did this hack work for you in ver 3.0.3 or did you install it in another version? I have read a few people are having troubles with 3.0.3 and this hack.

Thanks.

Has anyone got this to work in ver 3.0.3?

I -love- this hack. The forum permission settings would be a blessing though as well as preventing them from showing up in the newthread display on the forum home!

And allow users to edit their private thread so they can edit the view permissions for it!

dose this mod work with vb3.0.3

do u install this hack with vb3.0.4?

Has anyone been able to modify this to where only certain usergroups (Admins & Mods) can enable private threads? Allowing my regular users to create private threads is going to create problems...

It would be great if someone could modify this so that the private threads were also 'hidden' in the forumdisplay unless you are invited to the private thread.

Huh? Is that not a factor already?

Kall, It is a factor.

You said forumdisplay, not Forum Home. You probably mean 'latest thread' on forum home.

I believe you are right...oops.
Thanks for correcting me.

It would be great if someone could preventing the private thread form showing up in the latest thread on forum home.

does not work with 3.0.6 did all the edits and even worked around the outdated code sections to get everything installed. On new threads the settings weren't stored in the DB nor was I able to admin the threads.

Has anyone got this working in 3.0.7? I don't want to install it when it might screw up the system, especially when it seems to be no longer supported.

I just installed this on a patched 3.0.5 and it took away the button to post new attachtments. Yes, they're enabled. The button that says "Mnage Attachments" is gone. I can look at a style that is completely unedited I can post attachments that way. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

it works for me on 3.07

I only wish that in search, instead of displaying a search page with no entries (if only one result and it is private), that it displays a message about that thread being private

Okay, how do you get a private thread from showing up on the portal page? I installed this, and can read the private posts on the portal page.

Are there any plans to make this hack 3.5.0-compatible?

And one more question:

Is it possible to enable completely private threads only for a single subforum?

this works in 3.0.8, and I added conditionals to the template edits, so only mods and admins can access the feature to post a private thread by adding
(obviously your template edits are used instead of "private threads code goes in here")

Would someone like to port this to 3.5 in conjuntion with the [HTL] & [Normal] Private threads ?

I also wish this hack for 3.5, it,s very useful. Please do it. Thanks

The person that developed this hack hasn't responded in a VERY long time. I doubt this will go any further.

Could someone please port this hack to 3.5? This is exactly what I need...

I could give porting this hack a shot. Of course, I have little experience with 3.5.x (though plenty with 3.0.x) and the new data manager seems a bit daunting, so it may take a deal of time before it is achieved without file edits.

Some users complain about long-running threads, ask for them to be filed away, locked, deleted or whatever. And yet the participants in that thread want it to continue!

Therefore, I'd also like to see an addition that allowed users to hide a thread from themselves. This would solve lots of conflict on many forums.

This mod has been ported to vB3.5 like so many have asked, it is also undergoing extensive edits.
