View Only Boards

[Rudolf]

Any errors in the log? It works fine for me on SMF 1.1.2.

[shadow82x]

No errors it just does not show anything except you know what ill get a screenshot

[shadow82x]

OK everything is enabled so guests can see it. I checked all permissions and I get an error at the top of the board but that can just be from other mods


Verion 1.0 was working fine with my forums..

Can you PM me with a link to the forum and an administrative account?
If you don't have anything in the error log then probably it's a misconfiguration error.

Check the Modifications.english.php file and put any text that is after ?> before it.

Yes, that's the one I used, because it's more logical.
However if you check the "Show the message index for 'view only' boards" then the last post is not protected. It makes no sense in that case. You can open the board and see it.
Now child boards can be view_only too, in this case it might happen that you get a "protected" last post even for a normal board. If the last post of a board is made in a child board (of any depth) that is view_only for the user, the post will appear as protected.

Finally, the issue of the recent posts list shown on the main index page. It should show only posts from boards you have access, regardless of the setting to allow the message index in the view only boards. It is outside of the purpose of this mod, and it would be too much work for me to modify that part, and it wouldn't worth the extra processing done.

Yeah, for those who didn't noticed, I updated the mod.

Hmmm..

[Rudolf]

I re-uploaded the mod with a couple of fixes. I kept the version number so if you already downloaded the 1.1 version then please download the new one and reinstall.

Shadow82x, you already have the new version but if you want feel free to repeat the procedure.

Maybe i did errors by applyng the mod with that errors ?

[shadow82x]

It is not working.. WEll the protection and guests are allowed to view it for me

[Dr3amer]

For me the Protected post is working ,also if i'm admin i see Protected ,and no prob for this ,but i have two options that are the same on Features on Admin control panel and don't know if by applyng the mod also with errors is ok ,now i'm tryng to use the forum at the max and for now is working ,i tryed guest ,regular members ,moderators and Admin and the last topic is always in Protected but for me the Boards is Hidden from Guest will post later after tryed a lot the forum

[shadow82x]

Whats the link to your board

[MattJ]

Uninstalled old version, deleted files, reinstalled new version...works a treat

[Rudolf]

Dr3amer, I suppose you uninstalled the previous version of the mod.
You  should uninstall all versions, and upload a clean copy of the files (at least the ones that giving errors), then apply the new version again.
Load.php is a critical file for this mod to work, not making the chancges there will result in malfunctioning.

[Dr3amer]

Hi Rudolf ,
so i unistalled all the mods and i got lots of errors ,so to be a clearly thing I deleted all the forum and reinstalled it ,restored the DB with PhpMyAdmin and reinstalled all the mods and now all is working perfect
The mod works like a charm
Thanks Rudolf
cheers

Rudolf have any suggestions why it is not showing up as "Private" on the index

[Rudolf]

Because or
1. you didn't apply the changes in the BoardIndex.template.php (you have a modified BoardIndex.template.php)
and/or
2.
you are not using the default template (I saw the quick theme changer in your forum with a bunch of themes)
or
3. You have the "Allow the message index to 'view only' boards" setting checked in Features and Settings.

In either case the posts won't be protected.

No errors and replaced the original board template and still does not work. Using the deafult theme and I have the "view board index" checked. Also all the permissions are set correctly. I cant seem to find whats wrong. IF you want to see I made your Rodulf account admin for now...

[Rudolf]

Using the deafult theme and I have the "view board index" checked

That's the first reason. This allows users to view the list of topics in a board. So what's the point int protecting the last post, if one can simply click and see it inside?
You have to uncheck it to work, and you need to modify the BoardIndex.template.php and MessageIndex.template.php files in every theme you want to protect the posts. Not modifying a theme will give no errors, won't break anything, it will simply display last posts as the theme wants.

When I installed the mod your MessageIndex.template was modified successfully but not the BoardIndex.template
