Thread Blocker by BOP5 - Block usergroup access to specific threads
Version: 1.3.0, by BirdOPrey5 (Senior Member) BirdOPrey5 is offline

Category: Miscellaneous Hacks - Version: 4.x.x Rating:
Released: 08-25-2011 Last Update: 12-17-2012 Installs: 41
Supported Uses Plugins
Translations  

Version 1.3: Added option to block threads by forumid & bug fix
1.2 - Added option to block threads by thread prefix
1.1 - Added option to block by userid
1.0: Initial Release

I know the best way to control access to threads is via built in permissions and promotions systems however some times for special circmstances there are just certain threads you want to block from certain people- maybe from guests for example. What this mod does is make it easy to block some specific threadids from usergroups you specify. Simple and effective. The users without permission will see an error message saying they don't have access to that particular thread.

1 Plugin and 1 Global Phrase: bop5tb_noaccess - This is the error message others will see when attempting to view a thread.

Working on vBulletin 3.8.7- 4.1.5 and should work on all VB 3.6.x and up including all 4.x versions.

Love this hack :up:

Is there a variation of it where the thread starter can block certain members from posting in a thread? Usually these would be trolls. Perhaps making the thread not visible to them?

Pretty noble idea but I'd like to see an option in the drop down thread moderation template when viewing threads/forums.

There are mods out there to ban users from specific threads via the front end, will not be adding any such features to this mod- it is a simple mod that works as it was intended.

OK thanks BOP, I looked before but didn't see any mod for the - thread starter - to keep trouble makers out of their thread. I did find two other mods similar to this one though, but neither of them had this thread starter functionality either. Thanks.

Excellent mod - just installed. :up:

But is there a way to have the thread title blocked? As a guest I can see the thread title, but clicking through I cannot see the contents (as expected).

The reason why I'm asking is that periodically, I have threads that I don't want to appear in Google. It would be nice that Google can't see the title as well.

I understand what you're saying but there is no quick fix to let this mod hide the thread title completely. I'll look into it for a future version but no idea when that would be at this time.

I have a problem. I've installed this hack. Generally it working good. But all blocked threads still shown in "Text Only"/Archive version of forum. It's really problem because everybody (include google) can read blocked threads in text version of forum.

How to remove blocked threads from "Text Only"/Archive version of forum?

Just turn off the archive. There's zero reason to have that enabled these days. The archive was useful 10 years maybe, though it was debatable even then. Now it's just duplicate content.

You can turn it off in the Admin CP settings.
