Yeah the guests can view what is in the forums, but when they click the individual thread to read it they will get this error message.

but i logged out, and i can read them fine???

BTT. still cannot get this going

Had this been integrated into Vb yet?

still cannot get this going after several attemts. must not work on 2.2.5

Hmmm... really I might have to try this

does anyone know if this works for 2.2.7?

Probably not. Doesn't work for 2.2.9...

All settings are there, dB query added, template added, and option changed in the CP to supposedly disable guest viewing. No errors, it just acts as if it doesn't work. Guests can click on them and view the contents without a problem. :disappointed:

Works just fine on 2.2.9. You should double check all of the steps and make sure you pay close attention to this part of the install:

It won't work if you place it after the first one..

sets all of the forums to allow viewing. If you wish to turn it off on ALL forums in one easy step, run this query on your vB db:

One other thing you might wish to do is set the default to be off in the db. This can be accomplished via this query:

Hope that helps.

ahhhhhhhhhh.. You are correct. Works fine with 2.2.9. I didn't see the little words "(second occurence in file)" LOL

Guess that's what I get for trying to add code when drinking. hehehe!

Nice hack!
