exactly what i needed. my first installed hack and it took 15 minutes and worked immediately.
my only technical note is that i installed on 2.3.0 and noticed that there was a minor discrepancy in the instructions for hacking announcements.php:
the hack says to look for:
Code:
$getperms=getpermissions($foruminfo[forumid]);
if (!$getperms[canview]) {
eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_nopermission")."\");");
exit;
}
but my announcements.php showed:
Code:
$getperms=getpermissions($foruminfo[forumid]);
if (!$getperms[canview]) {
show_nopermission();
}
looks like they cleaned up the code a little -- or maybe this has something to do with the skin i have installed? in any case, i rubbed a couple of brain cells together and simply added the new code below as instructed and it seems fine.
thanks!
