Topic: Greetings from a recent convert.

I had been running phpbb for years and can't wait to move to punbb.  I have been adding mods, setting up the forum, and find punbb to be superior in every way.  HOWEVER, I have one question...

I'd like to setup the forums so that if you are a guest, you can view the forum titles, but if you click on them, you won't be able to read any of the posts.  When I shut off the read flag for the guest group the forum becomes invisible to them.  I've been searching for a mod to accomplish this without much luck.

Any advice on this?  Thanks to Rickard and all of you for such a great product!

Bump - is there any way to do this?  Should I be asking in another forum?

Re: Greetings from a recent convert.

Yep.

Open viewforum.php

Find [around line 30]:

if ($pun_user['g_read_board'] == '0')
    message($lang_common['No view']);

Add above it:

if ($pun_user['g_id'] == '3')
    message($lang_common['No view']);

Save and upload viewforum.php

Open viewtopic.php

Find [around line 30]:

if ($pun_user['g_read_board'] == '0')
    message($lang_common['No view']);

Add above it:

if ($pun_user['g_id'] == '3')
    message($lang_common['No view']);

And you can edit what it says through going to lang/[yourlanguage]/common.php and edit what it says to the right of 'No view'. 

Have fun and hope it helps. smile
