board specific bans

[wtfwtf]

this question is a long shot
but is there a way to ban users from specific board ?

[Kindred]

yes. Put them in a membergroup that is forbidden access to that board.

i want to have something on a member to member basis,
for example a mod of a board can ban the members no following rules

[Illori]

that does not exist by default, you would need a mod. i dont know if one exists.

Still, membergroups would be the solution.
You could use this to make it easier https://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=3311

That would be an easy mod to code. You can put in a request at the request board and hopefully someone will pick it up and code it for you.

but, why bother with a mod, when it is doable in seconds with the standard features?

SMF is NEVER designed about individual user access -- it's entire security system and access system is designed around the membergroups.

So... create a membergroup (e.g. No Access to Board 1)
make it a hidden group, assignable by Admin only.
set the group to have no access to Board 1.
assign member(s) to that group as a secondary membergroup (not the primary)

ta da. done

SMF 2.0 by default has no way to deny access to a board, so as long as one group grants access to the board the user will see it. so the above will sadly not work.

[Kindred]

damn... forgot about that.

thought of that, but i have 223 board ...

[Illori]

as i said above, that does not work anyway.

you would need a mod to do what you want.

Have a look at my topic here:

I can develop such a mod for you.

Using this mod, you could just create groups to deny access to certain boards, and use them like Kindred described.

[Kindred]

Except, as Illori pointed out....  in 2.0.x, there is not way to set a membergroup to deny for a board.
If any membergroup that the user is in has access, the user will have access.

It actually can't be done without a mod

did you look at the mod linked? it does exactly what the op wants.

[Kindred]

Whoops...     totally missed the link.   Too early, not enough coffee
