I am looking for a way to restrict the access of a certain membergroup outside a set time frame.
I have a set of users who do not need to be accessing the board outside 8am-5pm. Draconian I know but problematic if i cant figure it out.
Does anyone know how I would accomplish this?
I am using the latest version (1.1.5) with the base configuration, nothing added to it.
Many thanks for your assistance.
Time restrictions sounds like an interesting idea, I can't particularly think of a need for it, but I will have a look into it.
Its the sort of thing that you could ask for as a mod request. ;)

Sounds good.
../Sources/Load.php
Find:
?>
Replace:
function check_board_time()
{
global $board, $modSettings;
if(allowedTo('moderate_forum') || empty($board));
return true;
$time = (int) date("H");
if($context['user']['is_logged'])
$time = $time + (int) $user_info['time_offset'];
else
$time = $time + (int) $modSettings['time_offset'];
if($time > 23)
$time = $time - 24;
if($time > 8 && $time < 17 & $board == 'BOARD_ID')
fatal_error('You can\'t see this board at this time.');
}
?>
../index.php
Find:
loadPermissions();
Replace:
loadPermissions();
// What time is it?
check_board_time();
Change 'BOARD_ID' as the ID of the board to be restricted.
