View Only Boards

[zijO]

I will update it for smf 2, but probably for the RC or the next beta.

WHEN? 

[Krysia]

Indeed this is a small bug in the code, thanks for reporting it.

The code should be:

Code Select Expand

$children[] = $child['new'] ? '<b>' . $child['link'] . '</b>' : ($child['protected'] ? '<span class="vob_protected">' . $child['link'] . '</span>' : $child['link']);

But your code is good too.

Was this fixed in the 1.2 version of this mod?

[Krysia]

Nevermind. Got it. Just the mod I needed to help with incentive on my board.

Thank you.

TinyPortal v0.9.8 and theme - Mystic Jade

I use to have this mod installed with SMF 1.1.4
Now I am using SMF 2.0
Can I manually add this mod as it is described?
What about DB, it looks as it is already there.
How can I edit ./Sources/ModSettings.php if it doesn't exist with SMF 2.0

I am using smf v 1.1.5 , I need this mod urgently. Plz can you update this mod for v 1.1.5 or can someone suggest a mod which provides category and forum browsing for guests but guests cannot open a topic until they register. In my forum everybody just browse the forum and leave. Sorry if I am being impatient !!!

[JimM]

This mod works fine on my 1.1.5 board.  I installed it prior to upgrading to 1.1.5.  If you get the test failed when trying to install on the default theme, you may have other mods that have already modified those files.  If that is the case then you will need to edit the files manually.  The edits can be found by selecting the parser on the download page for your version of the mod.

It installs successfully. But as a guest , I can still view topics. And I have applied this mod on the default core theme.

Consult readme.html in the mod package.

you don't need this mod to do what you need, just set different groups with specific permissions...i use this mod and it works great, but the reason i use it is because i want guests to navigate through certain forums but without permission to post or reply.

[geass]

Hello! I can try to explain what I did to make this work that way (like you want).

First you must enable the mod in admin -> configurations -> Features and options, and check the checkbox for "Show the message index for "view only" boards"

Go to admin ->members -> permissions -> permission by board. Set the boards you would like to let guests only see the topic headings in, to "local".

(I found that I also had to set my other boards to local, if/where I wanted to give guests read permissions inside topics.)

Then, go to forum -> Boards -> and Modify (choose the forum(s) where you want it enabled). There you only give the guests visibility (checkbox on the right). For those groups you want to give both access and visibility, you must check both boxes.

For the boards you want to let them into, you do the oposit thing, check both boxes for guests and only access to other groups.

Hope this helps you. This is working nice on my board as far as I can tell.

These are a wonderful set of instructions. However, there was one missed crucial part. Under Features and Options, you must also check off the box Allow Guests to Browse Forum. This will allow guests to see the topics, but not access the posts within them.

some suggestion?

[ne.miguelito]

somebody help...

[zijO]

Where is Rudolf?
This is a great mod.
Is upgrade for SMF 2 is coming soon?

[JimM]

@ne.miguelito - according to the mod page, it should work for the default theme.  From looking at your errors, you are using dilbermc.  In that case use the mod parser on the download page to see the manual edits you will need to make it work with your theme.

How to manually install it?

[JimM]

Use the parser on the download page, select you SMF version and it will display the manual edits for each file.
