I'm looking for ideas on how I can accomplish this.
Here's the scenario:
I have a site that is protected by its own user database. The path to the forum would be http://domain.com/members/forum/ . When a new user signs up for access I automatically put them in the site member table and the forum_members table.
I have removed all links to the register page(being that all members are already registered)
I want to put a copy of the forum on the outside of the members directory so it is accessible to everyone. I want to allow people to register and be able to post and read messages, but I want to restrict certain forums to only those people that are site members(paid).
I don't want any manual intervention for adding paid members to a specific rooms.
Any ideas on how I could accomplish this?
I've already put up a second copy of the forums and returned the links to register. I was thinking there might be some way to easily add a new level or something.
Someone has to know how to accomplish this. (I Hope) I tried making another level (99) for visitors but I'm not sure what or where I have to make changes to restrict visitors from certain forums.
The visitors can post, read from any forum except those that are for members only.
