You may have to make those changes to recent.php manually, as there may be another mod conflicting with your install. The mod installs fine on a vanilla SMF 2.0 RC3

ah it might be conflicting with one of these ill take a look and see if i can figure it out.

Out of those mods, only Member Color Link edits recent.php, so you can have a look at that. Maybe installing view topic permissions first will work, if not you will have to manually install one of them.

Hey Hades,

Any chance you could assist me with making the mod work like the 1.1.x version?: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=794

I used that mod to make it so only certain membergroups could see every topic in the board, but people with the permission could ONLY see their topic. If they didn't have a topic in the board, it made it look like the board was empty.

[tarpellia]

Is it possible to add some additional functionality to this? Something along the lines of this mod? http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=142136.0

I'd like for everyone to be able to view sticky topics, but only for the poster (and moderators) to be able to view their  own topics, and to limit it so that the only topics viewable on the board's topic list are those posted by that user and the sticky topics.

I've searched through the mods, and there are several that combined will do what I need, but they aren't for 2.0.

[Arantor]

Or for a bigger version of it you could do worse than www.simpledesk.net for their helpdesk mod which is for 2.0

[tarpellia]

It's a nice system; perhaps a bit overkill for my needs though.

Thanks for the link. I'll check it out.

I would ask for help in the coding discussion board. (reason why stated below)

I'm not really interested in adding more functionality to it than it has right now, mainly because I'm working on a bigger (much bigger) mod right now. Maybe in the future (though not likely)

[tarpellia]

I figured out a workaround using the topic approval system that will give me the privacy I need for this particular board. Good luck with your other mod!

[Acans]

For my forum you can still see the topics but just can't view them for replys, ect. Is it ment to be like this.

I was under the impression that it if only view your own topics was checked, you couldn't even see if other topics where made in that board?

[hadesflames]

Yes, the way I intended it to be was that you could only see your own topics (or none at all, depending on permissions) but you could still them inside the board.

[Acans]

is their a way to hide the other topics within the board if you do not have the permissions to see them?

The board type I want to setup is like a applications board, and i don't want others the ability to see if somebody else has submitted a application.

It can be done, but it's not how the mod was intended to work, so I won't do it. But you can see how it gets hidden from action=recent for example in the recent.php file and try to do something similar for your boards.

Hey, I've just discovered a problem with the view topic permissions mod.

Its started causing errors in my forum whenever i try to navigate to the 2nd page of one of my boards. It gives this error.

Code Select Expand

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 't.id_member_started = 1
ORDER BY is_sticky DESC, id_last_msg DESC
LIMIT 20' at line 3
File: /home/blazesca/public_html/project377/Sources/MessageIndex.php
Line: 375

Can you please take a look at my MessageIndex.php?

[the giox]

Me too give the same error.

I have to de-install the mod.
When i click on the page 2 or 3 or other page i have the same error.
I can navigate only on the first page

[Slug1]

Anyone know if this mod is to be updated for v2.0?

Any other mod similar to what this one does developed that I can be pointed to?

Thank you!
