Allow Group to Read Titles / Not Content
Developer Last Online: Nov 2022
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:
MOD VERSION 1.05
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'] != $bbuserinfo['userid'])) { eval(print_standard_error('gtp_cannot_read')); } // == [ 00-00-2004 - GTP END ] // ================================================= \\ [hr=blue]4[/hr] Disable Thread Preview To disable thread previews on forums that user cannot read content do the following edits: FIND in functions/forumdisplay.php: Code:
// format thread preview if there is one if ($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'])); } 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 ] // ================================================= \\ 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 Show Your Support

is this/can this be used to just "override the visiable but must be registered to view threads" option or is it all hardcoded?
the reason i ask is because i don't want unactive usergroups viewing the threads either. |

this hack utilizes vb's forum permissions system
It will allow you to enable view of showthread to specific usergroups and still display threadbit to everyone. For example, if you have Premium Members (donations) and one benefit of being a Premium Member is that they get access to specific areas. Well, this hack will allow users to "window shop" view what is in these areas before becoming a Premium Member. This hack can be used to convert Registered Members into Premium Members. |
