To make it simple

I got 2 user groups

Group 1 has access to board a,b,c
Group 2 has access to board a,b,c,d,e,f

I want that group 1 also can see the boards d, e and f, can see the topic's inside them (and search on the title of that topic's) but cant read the info inside the topic.

Is that possible? This way i can show the people in group 1 what the benefit is of the new group they can request (or pay) access to. Maybe when to try opening the topic they can get information how to get access to the topic's and/or access to the correct group.
Maybe a mod is needed for this, i'm willing to pay for that.

That is not standard. There used to de a mod for it, I do not think it was updated to SMF 2.1

Do you happen to know where i can find that mod?
If someone is willing to update that for 2.1 (for a fee) i'm all ears!  :D

SMF is specifically designed with the idea that if you can not access or use something,
then you usually have no reason to see it either.

I think the mod was this View Only Boards but it has not been updated for 2.1
If you need a mod for 2.1 you could try posting in Mod Requests

You can either put in a request at the Mod Request board for a new mod compatible with the 2.1. version as adviced above, or if you prefer to have the 2.0. linked above mod upgraded for 2.1. instead, you can put in a request at our Help Wanted (not for support).
