Thread passwords
 

This hack allow protect thread by password same way as forums.
Administrator and moderators can change password, can appoint thread masters.
Thread masters can only change password.

All thread content are protected by password : attachments,printable version, archive,
search results. Instant subscription letters will not contain message.

eep ..
Ok :) will test it out ^_^

one thing though how members will know is there like a pm sent to selective members ?

You need pm them or inform other way.
This mod writen for gaming network. Thread masters are team captains. Forum moderators are game coordinators.

which location should the file be uploaded to?

Good idea

I will try :)

fgenetics, files in catalog "upload/forums" should be uploaded into your forum root

i am sorry i dont understand

so member can set own password for thread that they create???

No. This look like Team Thread. Member can ask moderator appoint as thread master and set own password.
Did you need that thread poster are always become thread master ?

yes

I will watch this progress, it looks like it could be very useful for my site. thanks.

Nice idea :) Thanks

This hack just gave me a good idea for detering spam bots. Would there be a way to force a user to enter a pre-definable password before they are able to post, but it only asks for that password once. Password is emailed to them - that way no more spam from bots?

this is great for Adult section. and VIP status area..

version 0.2 : minor code cleanups.

very nice
thanks netwind

Very nice mod, thanks very much! :) :) :)

installed

Using this, is the thread still visible on the Forum list? Or does this hide the thread title also from anyone without the password?

Nice mod! :)

Still visible

Installed...very very good

Can you give oneself option to determined usersgroup???

thankssss

what if i dont want all mod all supermods to have access to password thread..how can i change it so its to the usergroup i want

Feel free to modify this hack.

netwind i would if i knew how...can u please guide how would i go about doing it...so i can give it a shot

Has anybody who's using this had any problems with it in 3.6.10?

Updated to 0.3.
Added instant email notifications filter (so upgrade recommended for all) and 3.6.10+ security tokens in template.

i need this mode for vb 3.7 :rolleyes:

urdu must work, try it.

Thank you ...

it's working with 3.7.0 :)

Is there by any chance an easy way to allow more characters in the password/allow longer passwords? I'm not asking for any custom stuff - I just wondered if there was something simple I could do on my end.

try alter thread table :
ALTER TABLE `thread` CHANGE `threadpassword` `threadpassword` VARCHAR(255) DEFAULT NULL;

Input fields in templates are big enough (80 chars), but you can edit them.

Thanks so much, I appreciate the help! :)

Okay, I can view what needs to be changed in a browser window by clicking on the product in Extracted Files, but I have no idea how to edit it or even where it is. Any chance someone could tell me? Pretty please? :)

lostgirl815 you don't need change files.
just install product . make database backup . run sql query by mysql client (phpmyadmin or other). text located in message above (alter table)

Thanks very much for the instructions, netwind!

I have this installed and have my members using it in their personal journal forums.

is there a way I can make it where Mods/Admin can not auto-read it? Since I want it to stay private for the members to feel they have privacy in journals, etc.

Best way to do it is install (and buy) vbulletin journals product. This hack focus on other purpose.

This is a great hack but do you have one for 3.7 as I need this ASAP and I can't see a 3.7 version!

just install this version

I used to have it on a vB 3.6 board. When upgrading to vB3.7 I deactiveted it. Now I downloaded the newest version of this mod and installed it. Made all the uploads and when installing the product I activated the option to overwrite the existing product (since I had the 0.2 version installed).
Now what happens is that I have nowhere that I can switch it on. Not the forum settings, not in the vB settings.

Any idea what to do?

Did you see menu Plugins&products, product "Password protected threads" ? Turn this product on.

If you not uninstall it.
