Is this possible

[The Domain Shop]

I want to make a board for registered members only, but want it to be visible to guests. i only want guests to see it but not allowed to have access into it until they register. Is this possible?

Thanks but only one i find is not compatible http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=610 with Rc3

Have you look deeper into its support threads? You might find this: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=146964.msg2734095#msg2734095 which is compatible for RC3.

Thanks ahrasis but im now using Rc4 just posted in that thread to see if it is going to be updated for RC4 http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=146964.520

RC3 mod should work with RC4. You just need to emulate. You can do this at the (browse) package page, at the bottom right there is a button "advanced" where you can emulate your version to RC3. Install any RC3 mod using that. You can revert it back to RC4 whenever you want.

Should i had this before installing or after?

[Hj Ahmad Rasyid Hj Ismail]

In case of error like this and you are using emulate, I think you better not proceed. I will look into that mod personally and see whether I can help upgrade it for RC4. In the meantime, also check if RC4 have such as a feature built-in (as I haven't go through it in depth yet myself :p).

Ok ahrasis thanks for your help

[Hj Ahmad Rasyid Hj Ismail]

Look at here for that mod update to 2.0 RC4: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=146964.msg2850298#msg2850298

Excellent ahrasis, all installed perfect thanks 

Don't suppose you would like to put your magic into hide tag special  http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=118  quite a few members want this but no replies from author http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=32954.1340

[Hj Ahmad Rasyid Hj Ismail]

That is a top mod. I think the mod author and his team is also active. I better pass on that.
