Force Topic Read on Login Updated for SMF 2.0 RC3
jossanaijr:
Did not install it yet but does it consider permissions? I mean if I enter a topic in a restricted board only members that have permissions to this board will be redirected or all members will be redirected and those members without permission will have an error message?
(F.L.A.M.E.R):
you know there are some diff types of people in the world who donot read the message for once ? A better idea for that maybe, if any user doesnt stay on the page for more than 1 minute time, they should be free from redirection, and if the user goes to some other page before the limit of 1 minute then he should be brought back to that page during next login... thats probably a better idea i think...
also if you can add something as in permissions that the staff members can make some annoying users read rules every time they login and just have a page in there which shows the list and a remove option with it in there which would allow user to be free from redirection....
these type of features would probably be good for continues rule brackers which we probably ban them but its better to annoy them like this....

Nope, it will check if the person has read it and only redirect if they have not yet read it. It also checks if a user has access to the topic, so users won't get redirected to a topic they can't see.

Thats why I tested it with a new test account I made (specifically for testing out this mod). This account has not yet read the topic and they are able to see it.
The redirection didnt work.
Edit I just tried to test it out on 2 other topics and the redirect wouldnt work with either of them.

Are you sure about the topic IDs?

--- Quote from: First post of topic, also in readme ---Disclaimer: I give no guarantee that your users will actually read and comprehend the information you direct them to. In fact, I can't even guarantee that they'll look at the topic. The word 'read' in my mod refers to SMF's definition, that is, to view the page. Apart from that, this mod cannot and will not do anything further to ensure that your users actually know anything about what you redirect them to.

That's just not what this mod was intended to do. It'll redirect them once, but I don't want it to be an admin spamming tool.
@Kimmie
Did you have the mod enabled?
@jossanaijr
I just answered that in the above post. It will account for permissions, so that users aren't redirected to topics they can't see.
