Hi
There is a problem between this extension and version 8.0 of php, clicking on the links my posts, active topics, etc.
This extension would be extremely useful in the context of teaching with PHPBB. However I would think there needs to be a slight modification. It seems like this extension hides posts from all the topics in a particular sub forum. Is there a way I can isolate a particular topic? In other words I don't want all of the topics to be hidden in a particular sub forum, only certain topics I choose.
So if I have a topic that asks a student to reply to a question, obviously I wouldn't want the student to see all of the prior answers. Further, this would be a great incentive for the student to engage with the course material.
But as I mentioned, I need to have a little bit more control over what topics are hidden. I would also need students to be able to see the first post in the topic, which would be my prompt or question. From what I understand the extension does have this capability already.
Would really love further discussion around this power extension. Thank you.

I believe that what you want cannot be satisfied with this extension, which has only one clear purpose.
Thanks 3Di. Yes, I did some testing with it. It seems like this extension is so close to providing the functionality I would need for my students. I've reached out to dmzx at his website to inquire further. Perhaps a future version of this extension could include this extra functionality? It seems like creating a whole new extension to add what already contains most of the functionality and the main idea would be a lot of unnecessary work.
Is it common (or not) for other extension developers to elaborate on or add to existing extensions that they didn't initially develop?
