All

I have implimented Snitz 2000 with the lates version on our web site, once the permission issues were resolved with the server administrator, all is well.

Now, I would like to set this up so anyone can view everything, but ONLY registered users can post just as you have it hear, but with a provision the members must be approved before postings can be available to everyone.

It probably already is a feature I have overlooked, but wanted clarification on.

Set Require Registration to Off in Admin Section -> Main Forum Configuration to allow all users to browse the forums (member list and user profiles are not viewable by unregistered users, you'd have to change that in the code).

Do you want that members need to be approved after registration to enable them to post or approve members' posts before they are visible?

Turn on Restrict Registration in Admin Options -> Email Server Configuration (you'll have to enable Email Mode and Email Validation as well for this) so members need to be approved before they can post.

If you want to add the possibility to approve member posts:
First turn on Allow Topic Moderation in Admin Options -> Feature Configuration.
Now when you edit a certain forum you can choose the following options from a Moderation dropdown box: All Posts Moderated, Original Posts Only Moderated, Replies Only Moderated.

Clarification

We want ANYONE to be able to view the forum, but will only be able to post to it, if they are approved as a member of our group.

Similar to the way this forum functions.

The only difference, we do not wish to enable the email function at this time.

OK, so follow the instructions I posted above:

You'll have to enable the email function though to make it work. Also, how should someone know if his account has been approved/activated/rejected?

Thank you for your feedback, it worked!

Now one last stupid question (I'm sorry if it's obvious).

How do I make the forum open to the Change Category Group, "All Catagories you have access to" selection, instead of opening to the login in page?

Everything else seems to work just like we want.

As I said above: Got to Admin Section -> Main Forum Configuration and set Require Registration to Off. This should do it.

Thank you for the quick reply, I did set it this way. I double checked it to make sure.

If you open the forum it defaults to the login screen, you can clcik on the drop down menu labeled "All Forums" and it does go to the page "all forums".

But it still defaults to the login screen first?????

I implemented a Snitz Forum for a school district, and the teachers would like their profiles viewable by students and unregistered users.

(member list and user profiles are not viewable by unregistered users, you'd have to change that in the code).


Could someone point me to where I can edit the code to allow for public profiles?

Thank you.

I suppose I should have been more specific .

What in the code would I have to change to make profiles public.

Thank you.

Around line 39ish you should see:

if strDBNTUserName = "" then
.
.
.
.
Call WriteFooter
Response.End
end if --> should be about line 54, though I'm not using a stock install...

If you comment out that entire If statement, it should allow anybody see your members list.

Just keep in mind, everybody's profile will be viewable by all visitors.

Well, I commented that segment out and it still gives me the error message. I even tried to remove it completely, and I got the same result.

I'm going to keep plugging around in members.asp. I'm sure I'll find it.

Thanks for all the help,

I went back and tested it again. Lines 41-57 in members.asp (assuming a clean install) the entire If -Then block needs to be commented out.

So
if strDBNTUserName = "" then
	Err_Msg = "<li>You must be logged in to view the Members List</li>"

	Response.Write	"      <table width=""100%"" border=""0"">" & vbNewLine & _
			"        <tr>" & vbNewLine & _
			"          <td><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """>" & vbNewLine & _
			"          " & getCurrentIcon(strIconFolderOpen,"","") & " <a href=""default.asp"">All Forums</a><br />" & vbNewLine & _
			"          " & getCurrentIcon(strIconBar,"","") & getCurrentIcon(strIconFolderOpenTopic,"","") & " Member Information</font></td>" & vbNewLine & _
			"        </tr>" & vbNewLine & _
			"      </table>" & vbNewLine & _
			"      <p align=""center""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strHeaderFontSize & """ color=""" & strHiLiteFontColor & """>There Was A Problem!</font></p>" & vbNewLine & _
			"      <p align=""center""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """ color=""" & strHiLiteFontColor & """>You must be logged in to view this page</font></p>" & vbNewLine & _
			"      <p align=""center""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """><a href=""JavaScript:history.go(-1)"">Back to Forum</a></font></p>" & vbNewLine & _
			"      <br />" & vbNewLine
	WriteFooter
	Response.End
end if


Becomes
'if strDBNTUserName = "" then
'	Err_Msg = "<li>You must be logged in to view the Members List</li>"
'
'	Response.Write	"      <table width=""100%"" border=""0"">" & vbNewLine & _
'			"        <tr>" & vbNewLine & _
'			"          <td><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """>" & vbNewLine & _
'			"          " & getCurrentIcon(strIconFolderOpen,"","") & " <a href=""default.asp"">All Forums</a><br />" & vbNewLine & _
'			"          " & getCurrentIcon(strIconBar,"","") & getCurrentIcon(strIconFolderOpenTopic,"","") & " Member Information</font></td>" & vbNewLine & _
'			"        </tr>" & vbNewLine & _
'			"      </table>" & vbNewLine & _
'			"      <p align=""center""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strHeaderFontSize & """ color=""" & strHiLiteFontColor & """>There Was A Problem!</font></p>" & vbNewLine & _
'			"      <p align=""center""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """ color=""" & strHiLiteFontColor & """>You must be logged in to view this page</font></p>" & vbNewLine & _
'			"      <p align=""center""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """><a href=""JavaScript:history.go(-1)"">Back to Forum</a></font></p>" & vbNewLine & _
'			"      <br />" & vbNewLine
'	WriteFooter
'	Response.End
'end if
