I am modifying (adding) some code to one of the ASP files and need to find a function (if there is one) that will return the type of protection a forum has given the topic_id.
e.g. returnValue = GetForumProtection(topic_id);
Is there such a function?
Also: How do I go about finding these sorts of functions by searching through the ASP code? Are there coding standards/conventions that are followed?
Have a look at the chkForumAccessNew function in inc_func_secure.asp. Can't give you any specific help on what you should do as I've never used private forums but the aruments of that function seem pretty self-explanatory.
Search is your friend “I was having a mildly paranoid day, mostly due to the fact that the mad priest lady from over the river had taken to nailing weasels to my front door again.”
