Private support category, visible only for mods/admins

Post by knorkas »

Hey,

I used the search but could not find or only found outdated info about that.

Looking for a solution to include a support section in my forum.
It allows mods and admins to see any posts in that forum, but others (new registered, users) only see their own posts and no the posts made by others. That way if a user shares some private info/request they (and mods) are the only ones to see it.

Can someone be so kind and explain how to do that?

Thanks a lot!!!

You need an extension for that.

I'm just trying to find it (unless someone does before me)

Read other's topics Permission
Take note that it's for phpBB 3.2 and may not function as expected with phpBB 3.3.x (or the higher versions of PHP)

added: KevC's search speed is unbeatable (the topic he linked to points to the extension above).
Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.

Tested and it is working fine with the 3.3.8 version.

Thanks again!
