Limit forum access by userid...

[Chris M]

Is there a hack out there that can limit the access to certain forums by Userid?

I am going to start up a specific clan forum, and I only want the people who I want to see it to be able to...

If this could be intergrated into the Admin CP, that would be great!

It's called ACCESS MASKS.

Yeh...

But Access Masks take too long to edit...

LOL But access masks is exactly what you're asking for. The hack will also take a long time to edit...

[Chris M]

Ah ok...

Its just that other admins can edit Access Masks anyway...

Easiest way that I've found to do access masks is to make up a SQL script that will put in all the corect data you want into the tables for you. Then you just need to modify it for the different forum id's and redo.

We have the same thing on our forums.

Just create a new user group and give them permission to access the forum you are talking about. No need to fiddle with access masks.

That's easily fixed. Credit goes to Firefly for this code.

Open forumpermissions.php.

Find:

PHP Code:

require("./global.php"); 


After That, Put:

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 1) {
    show_nopermission();
}

if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 1) ???

in general all admins have usergroupid 6, so every admin will get this error.

if ($bbuserinfo['userid']!=1)
should be the correct syntax
