I don't know if this has been addressed yet, and I can't spend 1/2 a hour to a hour reading through 30 pages of posts to see if it has been.

I have custom user groups in my forums for VIP, Donator, etc etc. They can login ok to the forum itself, but get a permission error messages when they go to the main site which is a vbindex (renamed index.php) page.

Please help kind sir, this is an awesome hack for vbulletin indeed! I have not upgraded to 2.2.7 because I'm afraid I'll lose all the customizations I made to the board.

Check that the usergroup can access vBindex, access is done on a per usergroup basis.

I don't want to limit the number of posts, I want to exclude some specific forums not to show up in the last Posts.

It should exclude the posts for people who cannot view them, however due to the way vB works it doesn't allways do this.

And where is that located in the admin cp?

[Gohan]

If you added new usergroup.. that just problem.. (no bug!)
you need small modify..

see other topic: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...065#post294065

[NTLDR]

To change the usergroup settings in the Admin CP go to Usergroups -> Modify and click edit next to the ones you want to change

actually I don't think this has been done ... at least, in this thread anyway ...

I read other posts in this thread but they seems to be talking about the mini-calendar hack that add a mimimized version of the calendar ... it's not really what I wanted ...

What I wanted is not a calendar ... but more like a to-do list /datebook ... that list (personal) upcoming event that you added into the forum calendar ... so when you logged into the vbindex ... it will list the events that are personal to you ... you know what I'm talking about? ...

I´m sorry, but my problem is a bit more complicated. I cannot define Usergroups, who shall not see a specific forum (they should still have access to these forums).

I just want to exclude the posts of 3 forums out of the vbindex. All members should have access to these 3 forums, you can access them as always, but the posts should not show up in the last 10 posts on vbindex.

You would need to add the PHP from that hack to the vbindex.php file and any HTML to the relevent template.

I thought you meant private forums

Change this line:

PHP Code:

$threadsquery = $DB_site->query("SELECT threadid,forumid,title,postusername,lastposter,replycount,iconid FROM thread WHERE forumid!=$newsforum AND forumid!=$pollsforum ".$threadsql." AND visible=1 order by lastpost desc limit $numthreads"); 


To: (replacing X with the forum ids to exclude)

PHP Code:

$threadsquery = $DB_site->query("SELECT threadid,forumid,title,postusername,lastposter,replycount,iconid FROM thread WHERE forumid!=X AND forumid!=X AND forumid!=X AND forumid!=$newsforum AND forumid!=$pollsforum ".$threadsql." AND visible=1 order by lastpost desc limit $numthreads");
