auto-move for post in a certain board?

[Merv]

Hi i am running SMF 1.1.6 and i am trying to have an area on the board where Users can post topics, but not see them. One option was to make them auto move to a board that only admins could see, but if there is a way to just make it so users can post topics and not read in a board that would be good to.

any help and suggestions would be great.

Welcome to SMF Merv.

You can do that easily I guess, let's try this:

../Sources/Post.php

Find:

Code Select Expand

if (isset($topicOptions['id']))
$topic = $topicOptions['id'];

Replace:

If you want to move all topics created in every board:

Code Select Expand

if (isset($topicOptions['id']))
$topic = $topicOptions['id'];

require_once($sourcedir . '/MoveTopic.php');
moveTopics($topic, 'ID_BOARD_TO');

Or if you want to do this for only one board:

Code Select Expand

if (isset($topicOptions['id']))
$topic = $topicOptions['id'];

if($board == 'ID_BOARD_IN')
{
require_once($sourcedir . '/MoveTopic.php');
moveTopics($topic, 'ID_BOARD_TO');
}

Or if you want to do this for only one board and for users that are not admin:

Code Select Expand

if (isset($topicOptions['id']))
$topic = $topicOptions['id'];

if($board == 'ID_BOARD_IN' && !allowedTo('admin_forum'))
{
require_once($sourcedir . '/MoveTopic.php');
moveTopics($topic, 'ID_BOARD_TO');
}

Change 'ID_BOARD_TO' as the ID of the board to move the topics and 'ID_BOARD_IN' as the ID of the board that the topics should be moved from.

Or, you consider having a look at SMF 2.0 Beta 4 which has a built-in post-moderation feature.
