Hide Subjects of closed forums in forumlist_body

Post by voom »

Users who are not members of a group to see a specific forum still can see the topic of the last thread in the forumlist. The forum should be seen as existant, but not give away such insight into contents to other members. How can I achieve that?

I use phpBB 3.1, I suppose the specific theme is irrelevant. My idea is something like:

<!-- IF CAT_ID/FORUM_ID is not xyz -->
show the subject and last poster ect.
<!-- ENDIF -->

Is there a correct syntax to achieve this? It should either be a whole category or a list of forums that should be excluded by this condition.

Any help appreciated... :)

Have you set the forum permissions correctly for this group?

I believe so, the group has standard rights, all others members may only see forum and guests may not even see forum. Guests are fine, but members, as they can see forum (but not read contents) can see the "last topic" in the forum_list views. It looks to me as this is the way it is set as default, and I find no detailed rights for that part. Or is it set differently in the standard themes?

In case you're sure it's not a permissions issue, you can use the following IF statement in your forumlist_body.html file:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF forumrow.FORUM_ID != 'xx' --><!-- ENDIF -->
Wrapping this around the last topic title code will prevent it from displaying. But, check permissions first as that's the most likely cause :)

Thank you! :) I cannot find any permissions that I could change any more, it may be a bug in the theme that is used though...

Edit: so this works well, but only removes the subjects from the forumlist within the forum where the resp. subforums are direct children. From within the category or in the forums overview the newest post subject from all of those closed forums can still be seen. I cannot find the template where I need to add the resp. lines.
Edit2: solved that last edit, looked at it the wrong way, needed to exclude the category like the subforums the same way the same place... ;)

What remains:
Is there a way to avoid stacking multiple lines with single forum IDs for multiple forums to exclude?

try this:
<!-- IF forumrow.FORUM_ID != 'xx' or 'yy' or 'bb' --><!-- ENDIF -->
or
<!-- IF forumrow.FORUM_ID != 'xx' or != 'yy' or !='bb' --><!-- ENDIF --> etc.
haven't tested but it should be one of those.

I am sure you mean

Code: Select all

<!-- IF forumrow.FORUM_ID != 'xx' and   forumrow.FORUM_ID != 'yy'  and   forumrow.FORUM_ID !='bb' --><!-- ENDIF -->
If you use "or" in there it will always be != to one or the other ;)

So true @Brf :) But if I need to add "forumrow.FORUM_ID !=" every time it does not save much except it is a little more elegant and I don't need multiple ENDIFs
