View Only Boards

[Rudolf]

Thanks.

I'm sorry but I don't understand your requests.
You can already select multiple groups, and as of the second request I don't remember planing anything alike. I'm not even sure what you mean.

Hi,

Please can you point me to the file and code I need to change to replace the word "Protected" with "Members Only". I find the use of the word "protected" a bit unfriendly and unwelcoming.

Maybe for future revisions you could enable it so that people can choose what word to show when boards are view only boards?

In the meantime though, if you tell me where I can change the work "Protected" I'll be happy

Great mod btw - been needed for a long time

This mod broke my forums!

I installed it over 1.x after getting 3 errors

sources/load
manage forums
and another one

Than I uninstall it and I get this

Modification parse error
2.    Execute Modification    -    Modification parse error
Execute Modification     -     Modification parse error

I'm not even sure how youmanaged to install the new version over the old. SMF doesn't let me to do that.
You will have to remove manually the mod. Open the sources.xml and themes.xml in the package and reverse-apply the modifications.

Any reason why it wont let me login now after I installed 1.0



I get:

            Incorrect key file for table '/tmp/#sql_6cea_0.MYI'; try to repair it
File: /home/clandis/www/Sources/Recent.php
Line: 102

[Rudolf]

Your database might got corrupted, though there is no way it was caused by the mod.
You'll have to repair the database by going in with phpMyadmin.

*****************************************************
View Only Boards - Modification for SMF
version 1.1
© 2007, Rudolf Martincsek
*****************************************************
Make boards visible on the forum index based on member groups.
Does not affect anything else. The access permission is still valid.
There is a setting to allow the view of the board index (topic listing).
Members with no access to boards won't be able to enter the board or the topics - depending on the above setting.

In the package file you downloaded you'll find a readme.html file. Consult with that file for more information.

Have fun!

[Cool999]

PLease Help me out.

I tried 2-3 times, but unable to make it work

Thanks

I am attaching both files.

[Sarge]

Installation of the mod doesn't give a "Test failed" error on the MessageIndex.template.php that you attached, only on BoardIndex.template.php (click on the picture for full size):



Are you sure you attached the correct files?

[Rudolf]

You have a custom biardIndex.template.
After you installed the mod in your BoardIndex.template.php search

Code Select Expand

if (!empty($board['last_post']['id']))
{
echo '
', $board['last_post']['time'], '<br />
In: <a href="', $scripturl . '?topic=' . $board['last_post']['topic'], '.0" />', ((substr($board['last_post']['subject'], 0,3) == 'Re:') ?  substr($board['last_post']['subject'],3)  : $board['last_post']['subject']), '</a>&nbsp;<a href="', $board['last_post']['href'], '"><img src="'. $settings['images_url']. '/goto_new.gif" alt="Go to last post." title="Go to last post." /></a><br />
By: ', $board['last_post']['member']['link'], '';
}
else
{
echo '&nbsp;';
}
Replace it with

Code Select Expand

if (!empty($board['last_post']['id']))
{
echo $board['last_post']['protected'] ? '<span class="vob_protected">' . $txt['vob_protected'] . '</span>' :
$board['last_post']['time'], '<br />
In: <a href="', $scripturl . '?topic=' . $board['last_post']['topic'], '.0" />', ((substr($board['last_post']['subject'], 0,3) == 'Re:') ?  substr($board['last_post']['subject'],3)  : $board['last_post']['subject']), '</a>&nbsp;<a href="', $board['last_post']['href'], '"><img src="'. $settings['images_url']. '/goto_new.gif" alt="Go to last post." title="Go to last post." /></a><br />
By: ', $board['last_post']['member']['link'], '';
}
else
{
echo '&nbsp;';
}

[Rudolf]

Have you applied the modification in my previous post to the BoardIndex?
The MessageIndex is good, and it should work.

[Cool999]

NO i havent applied yet,


I am getting Test Failed in-

./Themes/default/BoardIndex.template.php     Test failed
./Themes/default/MessageIndex.template.php    Test Failed

Note- I m using different them (Smartmc_blue)

Please check this Screenshot-



Please Help.

Thanks a lot

[Rudolf]

The MessageIndex.template.php file that you attached is correct. Is this the default one or the one of your theme's?
Does the Smartmc theme have these two files in the folder? If yes then you will have to edit them both manually because the package manager won't do it for you.
In any case your default theme is modified and the package manager can't apply the theme changes. The mod works fine without those two changes, you just won't see the protected message as the last post for the boards.

In MessageIndex.template.php search for

Code Select Expand

if (!empty($board['last_post']['id']))
echo '
<b>', $txt[22], '</b> ', $txt[525], ' ', $board['last_post']['member']['link'] , '<br />
', $txt['smf88'], ' ', $board['last_post']['link'], '<br />
', $txt[30], ' ', $board['last_post']['time'];
Replace with:

Code Select Expand

if (!empty($board['last_post']['id']))
echo '
<b>', $txt[22], '</b> ', $txt[525], ' ', $board['last_post']['protected'] ? '<span class="vob_protected">' . $txt['vob_protected'] . '</span>' : $board['last_post']['member']['link'] , '<br />
', $txt['smf88'], ' ', $board['last_post']['protected'] ? '<span class="vob_protected">' . $txt['vob_protected'] . '</span>' : $board['last_post']['link'], '<br />
', $txt[30], ' ', $board['last_post']['time'];

For the BoardIndex you already have how to modify it here

[Cool999]

Yes, the Messageindex.template file is of my theme. (I m attaching both files again, becoz maybe by mistake before i have attached the wrong one). Yes my theme has both these files in the folder. And i have already manually edited them 3 times, but my whole forum look changes. (like sometimes the below stat shows at the top and etc etc). SO can u please edit it for me, and attach both the files in your next reply

Thanks a lot for your support.

[Rudolf]

Here they are. They should work.
Remove the attachments from your previous posts to don't clutter the topic/forum.
