The description for this mod says:
Note: The View_Only_Boards_1.2a.zip package is compatible with both SMF 1.1.x and SMF 2. This package is only for compatibility with SMF, it contains no new features for the 1.1.7 version.  (emphsis added)  I thought this meant that the mod would work with version 2.

I just upgraded to 2.0 RC2 and tried to use package manager to re-install this mod (1.2a) but get multiple error notices.  ???  This mod is very important to my forum and I would not have upgraded to 2.0 RC2 if I had known there would be problems.

There are parsing instructions for RC2.  If I install this mod manually (which I dread because I am not a coder and don't know this stuff) will it work with RC2?

The mod was tested for 2.0Beta 4 according to the mod page.  Until the mod authors have had a chance to make them work with RC2 you are pretty much on your own getting them to work with the new curve theme.  It is completely different.

I just noticed a problem. I'm running the mod fine in 2.0 rc1.2, but when when i just created a new board, the last-post column on the forum index is blank for guests. On the other boards it looks as it should but with "Protected" for the boards that guests aren't allowed to enter, but the new board isn't showing anything whether it's allowed to enter for guests or not.

Update: It's apparently because the board was empty.

Any word on this being updated for RC2 ?

I have a site upgrade scheduled for 3 weeks time and this mod is essential to the core site function.

Considering that it doesn't include any releases from this year at all in the description, I can't see it being set up very soon.

As has been pointed out elsewhere, this can be achieved (with a little more work and perhaps a little more inconvenience) with the View/Enter Board Permissions mod of mine.

I try to find out what are the differences....

Arantor

This mod simply allows you to set up whether each group can see a board and whether they can enter it.

Mine additionally allows you to forcibly bar a group from a given board, something not possible any other way.

I use this mod. It gives you the ability to set the visibility (see board/boards & topics but cannot read the posts) or accessibility (see board/boards - topics & read posts) for selected membergroups of the forum.

I don't understand what you mean when you say: 'forcibly bar a group from a given board'.

If i'm off topic please move my post to your mod' topic.

Arantor

It's not really offtopic, it just clarifies the difference.

Right now, say you have 10 boards, and anyone can go in them. One of them is a board that has heated discussions and you want to be able to prevent someone going into that board.

There is no way you can do that with this mod. In fact there is no easy way you can do it in SMF at all, because any one group that the user has in their list of groups (including post count groups) will allow them in. So you'd have to reassign access to potentially every user so that the group that gave folks access to this one board isn't in their profile.

So, by making it a true permission like I did, you can use the deny permission side. Create a group called Troublemakers, say, and all that group needs to have is the board access set to deny. Then it doesn't matter what other groups those users have, they can't get in.

I edited this to work with RC2 I advise you to try it on a test site first.

The author may request you remove that file; I believe he is planning to look at it in a couple of weeks.

Sorry I wasn't using curve on my test site and wasn't getting any errors but when I switched to curve I did, I updated my post with a fixed version.

Any way to make it look like this?
I want the board to be visible but not the topics.

There might be some other nonsense in its place, but not that exact nonsense. If all of science were wiped out, it would still be true and someone would find a way to figure it all out again."
