Yay! First person to ask a question, LOL...

Can this be turned on/off in the ACP?

DEMO ?

I do not have a demo ready, but I will try to get some screenshots for everyone one in a couple of hours. I will try to get a demo setup for everything for the client-side of the script. However I will be sure to get some screenshots soon. I will be generating a demo script soon.

I can't find the options in admin cp..

Help me

Some people have told me clearing the cache for the forum will do the trick. (I will try this method soon to see if it works) Also, please make sure you did make the changes to the ACP template files as directed in the install file.

very interesting

users that don't have post requiriments for viewing a forum are also blocked to search into that forum?

thank you

The user will be able to search for the topic, and they will find it, however they cannot view the content of the topic. In a future update, I will try to add a feature so they cannot even find the blocked topic in the search results.

No they can still see the forum from the index or a category page, however they cannot access the forum or its topics when they click it. In the future I will try to add a future so it is possible to make a forum invisible to people with not enough posts.

my error, help me

If you can provide more information on the error (ie. what were you exactly doing) I might be able to help you better. From what I can see, it looks like you were trying to edit a forum inside of the ACP.

From looking at the error, did you run the SQL query stated in the instructions. It looks like the fields inside of the phpbb_forums table were not created. Please make sure these two fields are created.

excuse my English


Yes I was a forum to change the ACP and when you put a bit of the posts gives this error. Everything is properly installed and the fields were created in the database. My database is not phpbb_ is simply the name of the table.
