I can't confirm this, I've just tested this code again and it excludes the forums I don't have access to. Are you sure you setup the permissions correctly? This checks the canview and can view others permissions for each forum.

There are threads that I don't have access to, I looked before I double checked the code. Do you have any other changes made to index.php? I've been using this code for 7 months now with no problems.

Upload the attached file and run it as a user of various groups, it should print a list of all the forums you don't have access to. Try it as a guest and see if it mentions the forums that appear on the latest threads.

No Access To Forum ID: 14 (Mod Cat)
No Access To Forum ID: 15 (Mod)
No Access To Forum ID: 11 (Dev Cat)
No Access To Forum ID: 12 (Dev)
No Access To Forum ID: 13 (Dev)

That are exactly the forums I don´t want guests to have in
But I still can see the posts from these forums!

I made some changes in index (users only last 24 hours) but I don´t think that this is the reason for the problem cause there is nothing related to permissions

Any ideas?

I can confirm the problem, Starbug is talking about!

It includes the forums, I have NO access to, lists the new posts, but if I click on an entry, it tells me, that I don't have access to view it.

Shouldn't be even visible!

Best regards.

Turn on debug mode, add $debug = 1; in config.php and then visit index.php?showqueries=1 and look for the query smimilar to what you added to index.php, in particular this bit:

[sql]AND forumid NOT IN (0)[/sql]

It should be 0,X,Y,Z where each of the letters represents a forum that your not allowed to view. If its just got 0 then I'll rework the code.

[StarBuG]

I added the line to the config.php but nothing showed up at index.php?showqueries=1

But the debug mode is on cause I have the drop down below my forum and wich templates where called (I deactivated it again)

Do I have to do something in AdminCP as well?

Click the 'Explain' link, it does a similar thing.

[StarBuG]

It only shows up an empty page!

I leave it on for you to check

Hope you can help me

You can see the hacks I´ve installed in my news forum (but only the useronline required editing the index.php)
