Test for closed forum
 

How do I test for a closed forum? I need a php function call of some sort that will silently tell me if the forum system is closed. I do want the warning screen.

Thanks.

I'm not 100% sure what you are asking. Sounds like you just want to test if a CLOSED forum is really closed since you're an Admin and nothing is truely closed to an Admin?

If that is the case, why not just create another user and login as that user. Obviously make that user with NON-Admin powers.

Ok, let me elaborate. Right now I've got some php scripts running that retrieves user info: username, user group membership, etc. I use them to integrate a wiki system into the vb's user base. And it works flawlessy.

But when I close the forum, people browsing my wiki system are getting the "Forum is Closed" screen from VB, which of course is very confusing.

So I need to have my scripts do a silent test to make sure the forum is open before I begin retrieving user info.
