[scopeman]

hi

how can i exclude private forums from the latest threads box? i don't want that guests or user can see the title of the threads!


much thx

[Chris M]

@wolfe - Have you made the changes to admin/misc.php?

If so, goto "Update Counters" in your Admin Control Panel, and do the "Update postid's For Threads" option - That should get your news back...

@scopeman - The private forum's threads cannot be seen...You can only see them because you are an Admin...Try creating a new thread in one of the private forums, logging out, then viewing the vBindex - You will find that you cannot see it...When you login however, you will be able to - This is because you are an Admin, and by default have access to all forums

If you have explicity set the permissions for each group for the forums and they don't inherit the permissions then they won't show, otherwise they will. I've already posted the details on how to exclude forums in this thread.

I have the same question as scopeman.. I tried logging out and I was still able to see the subjects for threads posted in the private boards.. anyway to fix this?

Great hack BTW, absolutely love it.

[Chris M]

Make sure that you have "Is Private Forum?" switched on in the Forum options...

If that doesnt work, make sure your Forum permissions dont allow Guests to view Threads
