return whether group has access to forum

Post by GavinP »

How can I take a group id, and check whether they have access to a forum or not?

I know I can use

Code: Select all

$auth->acl_gets('f_read', 23)
to see if the logged in user can see a forum, but what I want to do is pass a group id and test the same thing, irrespective of which user is logged in.

Thanks in advance.

Perhaps if you were to explain what it is that you are trying to achieve then it might make sense because a group cannot have access to anything - only the members within that group have access

Well I'd have thought it was pretty obvious what I wanted from the original post really. As it happens I have dealt with it outside of using anything inside phpbb. This can be closed.
