HTACCESS on a SPECIFIC page?

[dearinfinity]

Hi everyone,

Quick question. I want to use htaccess to block down certain forums (say the following forum ids: 4, 30, 68). Is there any intuitive way of doing this? I don't see how to relate using htaccess with the mod cp / admin cp to using it on specific forum and post IDs. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

.htaccess is used to protect a whole directory, not a file. You can set a password for each of those forums in the Forum Manager though.

Hi, not looking for password protection on forums. I am looking to use htaccess to block users from accessing a certain forum as I want to lock them out of content in this manner. If it was possible to have the forum links on the forum display template to somehow call the thread from a different folder (/forums/premium/ instead of /forums/) I feel like it might work.

Does anyone know how to have forumdisplay.php load a thread from a different folder than the root?

You can use the forum permissions to do that per usergroup.

I need to do it using strictly HTACCESS. Anyone have any ideas?

He was looking to block the files without password protecting them. I know of no way to do that.

Oh, misread that, yea, dude if you don't want to use the permission systems alreadyb uilt in you're SOL.

The permissions system is the best way to go and it will do exactly what you are wanting to do per usergroup. htaccess works on a whole different level, I'm afraid.
