HELP!!!!!! Problems with Permissions
 

I'm working on a customized version of the newthread.php file that will handle posts destined for a specific forum. In addition to the normal thread handling tasks the file will need to post data to a seperate table.

I want the script to ignore the incoming forum direction (i.e. the f=X in the URL) and lock onto it's own forum.

I can get it to work with the URL newspell.php?do=newthread&f=6

But I want to get rid of the f=6 and if the do isn't specified I want to default to new thread, making it possible for the URL to simply be newspell.php

However, I can't get past the permissions system. I get no permissions errors, sorry the forum isn't accepting new posts and all sorts of related garbaage. I *can* disable the permission system of course, but I fear that could create a security whole especially since I may at some point want to limit new posting priveledges to specific usergroups.

HELP. I'm getting incredibly fustrated here.

what if you just do an

at the very beginning of the file?

That brings up the "Sorry, this forum isn't accepting new posts" error :(

Got it!

$_GET['f'] = '6';

Odd. Get works, but not Request.

Has to be set b4 the backend is called.

Something else that might help someone once:

f, t, p and all those short variables are all converted to their respective name, in the init.php I think (i.e. forumid, threadid, postid)

I know - but ironically if the init doesn't do the conversion then it'll throw a fit (Or at least I think it will. I got it working now - not too willing to tamper with it).
