Restrict Access by IP Address

[Crezza]

Hi,

Is it possible to restrict access to a forum/sub forum on the basis that only certain IP addresses are allowed to enter it.

I would like to set up a forum that can only be accessed from a companies network IP address, so if an employee leaves allow him to retain the registration but cannot see the company specific infromation.

All help appreciated.

You may be able to write a plugin that checks the forum id and then checks the IP. If the IP isn't xxxx, then the users would get a no permission. You may have to use the global_start hook location because you would want to do this for both the forumdisplay page and the showthread pages. Oh, and showpost pages.
