How to prevent visitors from reading topics content of a specific forum

[hk2004]

Dear All

Is it possible to hide the topics details in a specific forum from being seen by visitors? I don't want to hide the list of topics in that forum, just want to prevent them from reading the content of all topics in that forum.



I have tried this modification which has allowed visitors to see the list of topics but can not read them. I only want to make it for one or 2 forums but not for the whole VB sections.




In file:showthread.php look for:


globalize($_REQUEST, array(
'perpage' => INT,
'pagenumber' => INT,
'highlight' => STR,
'posted' => INT,
'goto'
));




Add below:

if ($bbuserinfo['userid'] == 0)

{

print_no_permission();

}







I am using VB 3.0.7

Thank you.

Allow the usergroup to view the forum, but not allow to view other people's threads. It's in the usergroup permissions page.

A file hack is one way to go, but you need to post on www.vbulletin.org if you want to explore that route.

Here is a crude solution that uses templates:
