Announcement Permissions?

[SFishy]

I'm wondering...

Is there a way to make it so that ONLY members can view announcements? I like to have my boards open to guests for reading, but I'd like announcements just to be for members.

Anyone?

Thanks!

edit forumdisplay.php, find:

PHP Code:

if ($announcement=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT announcementid,startdate,title,user.username,user.userid,user.usertitle,user.customtitle 


Before that add:

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo[userid]>0) { 


find:

PHP Code:

  $doneannouncements = 1; 


After that add:

PHP Code:

} 


That's it.. Enjoy..

Logician,

Hey Logician, or anyone ...

Is it possible to modify announcement.php so that the announcement will still show up in forumdisplay.php (in the list), but when a non-registered user clicks on it, it will give them the "no permission" screen? I'd like it to still be shown, just not viewable by non-members... make sense?

Thanks!

easy to do:

open announcement.php
find:

PHP Code:

if (!$getperms[canview]) {
  eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_nopermission")."\");");
  exit;
} 


after that add this:

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0) {
  eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_nopermission")."\");");
  exit;
}

Xenon,

That didn't work... It shows up in the list, and for a registered member works fine, but for a guest I get a weird template... not the typical error template, but a template that is mostly blank (header and footer info is there, jump-to box is there, but no permission error message). The no permissions template works fine in other areas.

Any ideas?

hmm *wondering* its original code of the vb225 as you can se the line above

try to replace

PHP Code:

eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_nopermission")."\");"); 


with

PHP Code:

show_nopermission(); 


Edit: lool, thats a bug in the original vb-files
will report it on vb.com

Thanks Xenon... I got it working and your reply just confirmed what I did was right!
