Sometimes the topics in our discussion groups can lead to the revealing of some very personal information. Although it would be easy enough to delete the entire topic, it could be that the advice provided in the responses would be of enduring benefit to the original poster.
If I wanted to restrict viewing of a topic / responses to the original poster (and/or admin/moderators) how would I go about that?
Thanks. |

So your asking to make a topic not show for anyone except the author?
So It would be like deleting it for everyone except Author/admins/moderators? |

Exactly. Sort of like a special level of moderation.
I suppose another variant would be that only the original author and those who replied could see the topic, once it became "restricted". |

What you would need to do is add another level to the T_STATUS column. and check the code in topic.asp, forum.asp, pop_lock.asp and post.asp.
You would have to also add another icon in the row above the posts (or it might be better to use radio buttons in pop_lock.asp to determine what the topic status is going ton be set to.) |

Thanks, Dave. That's about what I figured, but I wasn't sure where all it needed to be checked. Not sure right now whether I'll actually implement the feature or not, but at least I know the direction to go if I decide to.
Thanks again. |

That is how current moderation works, if the post is not moderated, then only the admin, moderator or author can see it.
also, you don't really need to add another status or level, topics already know who the author is, and your mlev reflects this so all you need to do is change the mlev check for who can view topics |

| Thanks, HuwR, that sounds pretty easy. I think you're suggesting to turn the "restricted" topic back into an unmoderated one, but then wouldn't it would appear with all the other topics containing unmoderated posts in the moderation list? |

I think Huws point is the code is already there. All you need to do is use the unmoderated code as an example of what to do with this new status.... |
