Is it possible using one set of snitz's forum to have in it a category of forums for all registered users and another for a part of them? I see that at the FORUM_FORUM table the F_PRIVATEFORUMS, F_TYPE and F_PASSWORD_NEW, what for they are? Maybe exactly for that? If yes, then what their value must be to do what I want.
Thanks |

You have many options available to do what you want. You just have to edit the forum properties and select which one you want. Below are the choices.
All Visitors: This allows all members (including unregistered members) to access the forum. This is selected by default.
Members Only: This allows only registered members to access the forum. Unregistered members are not allowed access.
Members Only (Hidden): This allows only registered members to access the forum. The forum will be hidden to unregistered members and they are not allowed access.
Password Protected: This allows you to set a password on the forum. All members (including unregistered members) will be asked for a password before giving them access. Once they supply the correct password, they won't be asked for the password again.
Members Only & Password Protected: This allows all registered members to access the forum OR if they are not a registered member, they will be asked for the password. Once they enter the correct password, they won't be asked for the password again.
Allowed Member List & Password Protected: This allows the members that you select from the Available Members List, to access the forum OR if they are not in the Selected Members List, they will be asked for the password that you set. Once they enter the correct password, they won't be asked for the password again.
Allowed Member List: This allows only the members that you select from the Available Members List, to access the forum. All other members (including unregistered members) are not granted access.
Allowed Member List (Hidden): This allows only the members that you select from the Available Members List, to access the forum. The forum is hidden from all other members (including unregistered members) who are not on the Selected Members List. |

Note that to use any of the options detailed above, you will first need to turn on private forums in your admin options.

Yeah, I forgot about that.  I just get excited when I can actually answer a question on here.  I'm usually on the other end of the questions. |

How are these passwords or permissions stored? is it a cookie or does it change something in SQL?
How would one remove a person that has access to a password protected forum? |

| Either that or go to one of the "Allowed Members List" type options. Just keep in mind that you'll need to keep up with who is on the list. |

Just a suggestion... maybe...
When a user puts in the password, he/she is added to the "allowed members list", then passwords could be changed every day/week and you could easily remove unwanted members.
