Mod seems to be working but I'm having one issue with it..

When a new member registers they dont get forced to read the topic assigned unless they log out and then log in! Is that what it is supposed to do? Cause some people might register and stay logged in. So if they don't log out and then log back in they wont get the forced message!??

Currently it only does the check on login. But yet it should be improved to do something on registration.../activation if it does not.

I had to disable this because it forced the users to read the post EVERY login...  It does not appear to be recognizing that they already read it.

A good argument.

VB,

Just been testing this on my test site and I can't get it to work. I have set the topic ID and ticked the box. I then logged in as another member but nothing happened

I check permissions but there is nothing in there.

The member I logged in as was not admin.

Should the mod still work for admin?

Any help is appreciated

The member that you logged in to test it, was the topic in question read beforehand by that account?

That's a good point Doug. I'll create another new topic as admin and then log in as others, thanks for the idea.

No problem :)

The reason I asked is that users will not be forced to read topics on login that they have already read before. It is for unread topics only.

Dave J

Sorry VB, Doug was right. I think I created the topic previously and then logged in as the test member then set the topic in the settings.

Just tested it now and it works OK.

Thank again for the tip Doug

Gents,

Sorry but this wont work for Admin. Is it meant to be that way?

It works if I post a topic in a board that can be seen by members but when I create a board for admin only i.e no board permissions for regular and post based members, admin aren't forced to read it.

I've tried various combinations of ways to do this even to the point of giving made up members admin rights and global mod but it still wont got to the topic.

Any ideas on how to do that, or as I say is it just not meant to?

I don't think it works for admins I think that is on purpose.
