Hide some forums from some subnets

[vasek]

I want to hide some forums from several subnetworks.
Saying hide - I mean do not show them at all, threads too.
And better to hide threads from been found via search, but it's optional.

Is it possible? May be modification?
Thanks a lot!

Do you mean you don't want some usergroups to see them at all? That is done in Forums & Moderators > Forum Permissions > find the forum > selct the usergroup > take away their permissions to see the forum

no, I mean I got a number of forums for example 10. And I want that 5 of them are viewable only from 10.0.0.0/8 subnet while others are from all subnets.

I really have no idea if that would be possible. I've never seen anyone talk about doing that before.

Here's an example for the subnet permissions:

global_start

PHP Code:

function cidr_match($ip, $range) 
{
    list($subnet, $bits) = explode('/', $range);

    $ip = ip2long($ip);
    $subnet = ip2long($subnet);
    
    $mask = -1 << (32 - $bits);
    $subnet &= $mask;

    return $subnet == ($ip & $mask);
}

// deny users who match this
if (!cidr_match($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], '192.168.12.0/23')) 
{
    print_no_permission();
} 


I can give a full example with forum permissions later this week. Not enough time at the moment.
