Quick question about private forums

[Shinriu]

Not sure if this is doable or not. What I want to do is make one of my forum sections to show "private" on the forum home page for everyone.. But the catch is I don't want to restrict access to that section for the registered users. Why I want to do this is, it's a place for NSFW(not safe for work) links discussions etc. and I figure people at work etc, prob don't want some of the thread titles to displayed on the forum home page. Thank you for your time.

This could be achieved by wrapping the "last posts" column if conditionals, to check for the forum's id.

[Shinriu]

Thank you for the fast reply. I would edit the forumdisplay template then?

[Dismounted]

No, it would be one of the forumbit templates.

[Shinriu]

ok found the template. ( used trial and error till I found the template that effected the "last post") So I need to add an If condition in the template? Sorry for all the questions. New to this and learning a good bit with messing around with the code etc, just not up there if most people. yet.

Wouldn't password protecting that forum also work?

That's how I have mine...

[Shinriu]

Would this be right? Sorta right?

<if condition="$forum['forumid'] == FORUMID">stumped here</if>

Remember, you're not trying to edit the header, you're trying to edit the column bit.
