Could someone update this?

[phiberoptik]

For the majority of online gaming communities, from World of Warcraft to Counter-Strike, any group of players whom want to privately recruit new players into their team, have followed this guide: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=142136.0  Unfortunately 8 years later, this is heavily out of date. Could someone update this for 2015?

It's not exactly tested but here it goes
Sources/MessageIndex.php
Find

Code Select Expand

WHERE ' . ($pre_query ? 't.id_topic IN ({array_int:topic_list})' : 't.id_board = {int:current_board}') . (!$modSettings['postmod_active'] || $context['can_approve_posts'] ? '' : '
Add after

Code Select Expand

' . ($board == 1 && count(array_intersect(array(1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7), $user_info['groups'])) == 0 && !$user_info['is_admin'] ? "AND (t.id_member_started = {int:current_member} OR IFNULL(t.is_sticky, 0) > 0)" : '') . '

Display.php
Find

Code Select Expand

$topicinfo = $smcFunc['db_fetch_assoc']($request);
$smcFunc['db_free_result']($request);
Add after

Code Select Expand

if ($board == 1 && !$topicinfo['is_sticky'] && $topicinfo['id_member_started'] != $user_info['id'] && count(array_intersect(array(1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7), $user_info['groups'])) == 0)
fatal_error('You can only view an application that you started.');

BoardIndex.template.php
Find

Code Select Expand

if (!empty($board['last_post']['id']))
echo '
<p><strong>', $txt['last_post'], '</strong>  ', $txt['by'], ' ', $board['last_post']['member']['link'] , '<br />
', $txt['in'], ' ', $board['last_post']['link'], '<br />
', $txt['on'], ' ', $board['last_post']['time'],'
</p>';

Replace with:

Code Select Expand

if (!empty($board['last_post']['id']))
{
global $user_info;
if ($board['id'] == 1 && (in_array('0', $user_info['groups']) || $context['user']['is_guest']))
echo '<p>You cannot view posts in this board.</p>';
else
echo '
<p><strong>', $txt['last_post'], '</strong>  ', $txt['by'], ' ', $board['last_post']['member']['link'] , '<br />
', $txt['in'], ' ', $board['last_post']['link'], '<br />
', $txt['on'], ' ', $board['last_post']['time'],'
</p>';
}

A little late! Thank you for the response, I haven't yet tried it as my team decided to go with phpbb. I'll try out your changes soon!

Edit: The second block of MessageIndex.php should be Display.php I believe.

Ok so we are getting close but I am still able to read other threads not created by me. Granted it is 4am Ill try again after coffee tomorrow.

Why not just use the approve/unapprove feature?

Make all messages in the board require approval.
Make your clan leaders moderators in that board.

Now users can submit applications and read the comments but they can not see any other user's unapproved topics...

Or use the simple desk mod....

Because this feature works the best when creating a php form that does php form -> post. The php form -> post
bypasses the need to be approved. Also; simple desk mod doesn't do what I need in a user friendly [read: idiot proof] way as well as provides many more features I don't need/want.

I believe that approval status of the post is one of the arguments that can be passed in the createpost function

That's above my pay grade, could you point me in the right direction?

Do you conform that all changes were performed? If the "old" code worked, this one should too.

Indeed it is, sorry.

I believe so yes, I'll give it another go in a little bit.
