No support by the author.

Tested and working in 3.0.3 - 3.0.7

This hack will enable you to DISABLE SHOWTHREAD according to USERGROUP.This will allow all your members to view titles and topic counts found within a section. Think of it as "window shopping". Your members will be able to read all topics from the forumdisplay.php page but, will not be allowed to read it's content unless they have permission

The edits below will prevent anyone from viewing the contents of a post from within showthread, printthread, showpost, and archives.

This feature can be used on a per USERGROUP and /or per FORUM basis. You, as the admin, will have complete control.

You will need to modify:
  • includes/init.php
  • includes/adminfunctions_forums.php
  • admincp/resources.php
  • admincp/usergroup.php
  • showthread.php
  • archive/index.php
  • printthread.php
  • showpost.php
  • archive.css
Add 3 new phrases.
MOD VERSION 1.05
  • Fixed issues concerning the archives - eg. blank page was displayed ... now, thread links are viewable but not active (if not allowed).
MOD VERSION 1.01
  • now with personal NOT ALLOWED message
  • Easier to install
  • now add the ability to allow users to view their own posts/threads (view below code)
  • archive section changed to NOT display links to content that is not READABLE
  • added a message to archive section if user cannot read content
[hr=blue]4[/hr]
Allow User To View And Post Into Their Own Threads:
If you want to allow users to view and post their own threads and have access to them ... use this code in showthread, printhread, and showpost.php:
Code:
// ================================================= \\
// == [ ALLOW GROUP TO READ TITLE / NOT CONTENT - GTP BEGIN ]
                 if (!($forumperms & GTPCANREADCONTENT)AND ($thread['postuserid'] != $bbuserinfo['userid']))
                 {
                     eval(print_standard_error('gtp_cannot_read'));
                 }
// == [ 00-00-2004 - GTP END ]
// ================================================= \\
NOTE: You may have to use "$threadinfo['postuserid]" on some of the pages.

[hr=blue]4[/hr]
Disable Thread Preview
To disable thread previews on forums that user cannot read content do the following edits:
FIND in functions/forumdisplay.php:
Code:
    // format thread preview if there is one
    if ($ignore["$thread[postuserid]"])
    {
        $thread['preview'] = '';
    }
    else if (isset($thread['preview']) AND $vboptions['threadpreview'] > 0)
    {
        $thread['preview'] = strip_quotes($thread['preview']);
        $thread['preview'] = htmlspecialchars_uni(fetch_trimmed_title(strip_bbcode($thread['preview'], false, true), $vboptions['threadpreview']));
    }
REPLACE IT WITH:
Code:
// ================================================= \\
// == [ ALLOW GROUP TO READ TITLE / NOT CONTENT - GTP BEGIN ]
    $forumperms = fetch_permissions($foruminfo['forumid']);
    // format thread preview if there is one
    if ($ignore["$thread[postuserid]"] OR !($forumperms & GTPCANREADCONTENT))
    {
        $thread['preview'] = '';
    }
    else if (isset($thread['preview']) AND $vboptions['threadpreview'] > 0)
    {
        $thread['preview'] = strip_quotes($thread['preview']);
        $thread['preview'] = htmlspecialchars_uni(fetch_trimmed_title(strip_bbcode($thread['preview'], false, true), $vboptions['threadpreview']));
    }
// == [ 00-00-2004 - GTP END ]
// ================================================= \\
[hr=blue]4[/hr]
Example Of How Hack Works:
I have a forum with (sub-forums) ... however, one of the sub-forums is private (for PREMIUM members only). Here's how the settings would look like.

In USERGROUP MANAGER (this is a global setting) set "Group can read content?:
UNREGISTERED - YES
REGISTERED - YES
PREMIUM - YES

The global setting will be transferred to all forums; but, we have a sub-forum that is only for PREMIUM MEMBERS so...

In FORUM PERMISSIONS MANAGER set private forum to:
UNREGISTERED - NO
REGISTERED - NO
PREMIUM - YES

It's doable but it will require more hacking and that's something that I want to prevent with this hack. FYI: The more hacking involved the more people will be afraid to implement it.
Yes. That's what I meant. Thanks anyway.

Oreamnos,
Your all set ... your problem was copying a modification on a prior post--not the hack itself.

I will update the post ... thank you.

I finally figured out what I did wrong (and a very foolish/newb mistake):

I forgot to upload the modified showthread.php! I dunno why I didn't realize it sooner, but once I did that, the hack worked flawlessly! Thanks, princeton!

/me clicks Install

I have installed this hack and everything seems to work except the "Show Printable Version" option under Thread Tools comes back with the message that I've assigned to those who can browse thread titles but cannot access to thread themselves.

In other words no matter what user permission level, any attempt to " Show Printable Version" returns a message telling the user that he does not have permission to do this.

Any suggestions/help is appreciated.

Remove the code from printhread and try it again ... make sure the BITFIELD is the same as that in your init.php file. eg. gtpcanreadcontent NOT gtcanreadcontent (missing P)

Also, make sure you did not leave or overwrite any code...

I replaced the modified printthread.php with the original printthread.php and everything seems to be working properly. I cannot view "Show Printable Version".

Do I think I need to do anything else to maintain the integrity of the mod?

Thank you for your help.

it looks like something is wrong with your printthread file (http://www.setpro.com/forums/printthread.php?t=5875) ... right now it's showing a parse error--meaning you left something out

Make sure you are following directions found in the INSTRUCTIONS ... most "problems" that people have are because they try to do things in a rush ... place close attention to REPLACE WITH and/or ADD BELOW.

The printthread.php modification is ADD BELOW and will not work properly if you replace the existing code.
