I like the extension but it was a real pain to change it to Yes for all the non default roles I created.
Would you mind to set it as Yes by default for all existing groups, Rich?

It is a forum based permission, not a user based permission and all regular roles (not groups, but rather group forum roles) in the forum are already set to yes.

Not in my case: I had to switch it to Yes for forum roles I created.

Well of course, there is no way for the system to know what custom roles you have made.

Well, can't it be Yes by default for every role so it doesn't interfere with actual board working the moment it gets activated?

Try:

uninstall the extension and delete the data. Find this line in the migrations\v_100.php file

array('permission.add', array('f_topic_view', false)),

and change it to this

array('permission.add', array('f_topic_view')),

re-enable the extension in the ACP.

I'm sorry but when I opened this thread I already enabled manually the permission where needed; moreover, I installed it on a live board so I could not test that anyway.

Yes, I know you'd like the reports to get way earlier but unfortunately I'm not using my test board anymore.

Then there is nothing left for me to do.

Wonder if this extension would work with auto-groups? Will try it out when I get home!

Is there a way to make it to where the topic titles aren't viewable either, so the forum itself says you aren't authorized?

That is already part of phpBB. You just don't give them the ability to view the forum.

You do not have access to the topics in this forum. Please login to view the posts.


As soon as I enabled this extension it forbid viewing of topics for all guests in every board by default. If it is permission based it should not do anything until the permission is set.
Admin has to go through every board permission to change it rather than setting the permission for the boards it is intended for.

Actually no, the extension doesn't default to no. One has to actually set the permission.
