This mod will allow you to set "moderators and administrators only" or "administrators only" access to any of your forums. You can use this to create "moderators only" forums for your staff to hang out. This is better than using access lists because you don't need to update the access list every time you gain or lose a moderator. Best of all, you only need to paste 2 sections of code in 2 different files!
Here you go, in INC_FUNCTIONS.ASP find the following (about line 1550):
case else
Response.Write "<BR>ERROR: Invalid forum type: " & rsStatus("F_PRIVATEFORUMS")
Response.end
end select
Insert the following DIRECTLY *ABOVE* that code:
case 117
mod_user_level=cint(chkUser(Request.Cookies(strUniqueID & "User")("Name"), Request.Cookies(strUniqueID & "User")("Pword")))
if mod_user_level < 3 then
DoNotAllowed
Response.End
end if
case 118
mod_user_level=cint(chkUser(Request.Cookies(strUniqueID & "User")("Name"), Request.Cookies(strUniqueID & "User")("Pword")))
if mod_user_level < 4 then
DoNotAllowed
Response.End
end if
Now, open POST.ASP and find (around line 890):
<option value="0" <% if ForumAuthType = 0 then Response.Write(" selected") %>>All Visitors</option>
<option value="4" <% if ForumAuthType = 4 then Response.Write(" selected") %>>Members Only</option>
<option value="5" <% if ForumAuthType = 5 then Response.Write(" selected") %>>Members Only (Hidden)</option>
Insert the following directly *BELOW* the mentioned code:
<option value="117" <% if ForumAuthType = 117 then Response.Write(" selected") %>>Mods/Admins Only</option>
<option value="118" <% if ForumAuthType = 118 then Response.Write(" selected") %>>Admins Only</option>
Now, simply click the edit button on the forum you want to be "moderators only" and select "mods/admins only" or "admins only" from the access list.
If you have any questions or problems, don't hesitate to ask.

How about simply editing the values in this MOD to something specific like 101, 102, 103? I know it might seem weird, but it's a quick fix right?
Also, maybe it's an idea to do something like documenting the values used in all MODs and putting that info on a page for MOD developers? That way you won't get problems like this.

| Alright, the offending numbers have been changed to ones I'm sure are not in use by another mod. |

A really quick way to make Admin only forums is to create the forum and set the Auth Type to "Allowed Member List (Hidden)" But do not add any members to the member list.
This works becuase Admins can see and post to all forums regardless of the Auth Type set.

I dont know much about ASP at the moment! but i am learning!
