Password Protect Boards

[Thantos]

Link to Mod

This modification allows you to set a password on a per board basis.  Users will be required to enter the password on the board index prior to being able to view any of that board's content.

Administrators and Moderators on that board (global moderators included) are exempt from having to enter the password.

This modification does not protect child boards.

This modification was tested using SMF 1.1 RC2.  It may or may not work with RC1.

SMF 1.0.5 is up.  Make sure you grab the correct file.

Thnx!

Haven't had the need for it yet, as the permission-based is sufficient ATM. But it's in my favourites!!

[Prasad007]

This is a nice mod!
But i wudnt recommend it
because passwords can be easily leaked
making use of usergroups for limited access is a better way!
Gr8 mod tho! thnx!

Seems I'm stuck in the middle with rc1.

Sadly, when I click 'Apply Mod' it shows me this..

, also  got SMF 1.0.5

[Thantos]

What version of SMF and which file did you download?

[squirrelof09]

SMF 1.0.5

passwdBoard_0-1.zip

[Thantos]

You got the wrong version of the mod.  Use
passwdBoard_0-1_SMF105.zip

[squirrelof09]

Ok, thanks very much/.

[ExistenZ]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I can kiss you! This is mana from heaven! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[squirrelof09]

GOt one more question

How come theres lots of items like this in the error log?

[Thantos]

Like what?

[squirrelof09]

like the pic above.

[Thantos]

Ok I found it, go ahead and delete the line

'passwd' => $row['passwd'],

near 1094.

It was due to the package manager finding two lines like the one I told it to search for.  I'll find a better search to use.

[Thantos]

I have corrected the problem in 1.0.5 (Doesn't appear the problem was in the SMF 1.1 version).
There is a new package up with the change and its upgradable.

[Thantos]

Admin -> Package Manager -> [ Download New Packages ] -> Package to Upload: -> Choose -> Upload

[ Proceed ]

[THE SAGE]

Mike, Thanx.

I did that...But now I want to make one of my boards/sections password protected but I dont see the option.

Where would I find it?

the only thing that i dont REALLY like about the mod, but I can live with it, is the fact that the password boxes are on the index page, and I have like 6 password boxes, and it is really starting to look cluttered.
