SSI use board that doesn't allow guests.

[andrewfer000]

I am working with someone who uses SMF for everything and I would like to use ssi_boardNews on a private page. I get this error when I select the board.

You cannot specify a board that doesn't allow guests. Please check the board ID before trying again.

How can I let ssi_boardNews output the private boards if possible?

You would need to modify SSI.php
And change this query
-1 is guests group id

Code Select Expand


// Make sure guests can see this board.
$request = $smcFunc['db_query']('', '
SELECT id_board
FROM {db_prefix}boards
WHERE ' . ($board === null ? '' : 'id_board = {int:current_board}
AND ') . 'FIND_IN_SET(-1, member_groups) != 0
LIMIT 1',
array(
'current_board' => $board,
)
);

Thank You. I fixed by changing it to my group id. Is this secure? Also is there a better way to do it?

Edit: i think it is more secure now since I made a separate SSI.php for the page. It seems to work without issue but how can I get it so I can have it output boards from many different groups?
