I searched and did not find a way to hide or temporarily disable a topic. I would like a way to be able to toggle a topic from showing and not showing. Is there a mod for this, or can I do it easily with MS SQL Studio Express?

there is no method in snitz to do this other than to create a forum that only the admin can see and move the topic there and then move it back when you want to make it visible.

Why do you wish to do this, may give us a better angle to work at it from, since you may simply want moderation which is also built in

That's what we did -- created a private forum and move topics there. Do you know if the 'auto email the author' feature will send an email to a member if their topic is moved from a regular forum to a private forum, if they are not a member of the private forum?

We have a forum that we want to moderate based on the number of posts someone has. For example; if a member has 20 or more posts, they can post in a particular forum.

Also, we have mod'd our search script to where it doesn't load the member's table (because of the qty of members slowing the script) but allows you to type a member name in a field. We like to mod the private forum part of post.asp to have just a entry field for members instead of the entire member list. Is this mod still listed here on Snitz?

Yes, but if I remember correctly it does not provide them with a link, it says that it has been moved to a private forum.

I think there is a MOD for this

That is a standard option in the base snitz code, you shouldn't have to modify the search page code

So please help me out here, Huwr... is there a 'strUseMemberDropDownBox = (0 or 1)' option somewhere in post.asp where we can turn off the member list box and turn on an field entry?

I have this installed on my forums for the "for sale" forum. Works like a charm.

Switch the order of your title tags

Thanks bobby. I don't think that will work for our applicaion because we would also want to allow low posters as well. I think we're set with the private forum right now. It's working.

Now if we can only figure out how to remove the list box from post.asp...

Anyone know how to replace the member list box with an empty member field? Any help would be much appreciated!

I'm confused about what you mean by an empty member list on post.asp. My forum has no such list on that page. Are you talking about search.asp?

Yes, it's similar to the search list box that was eventually replaced with an open field. In post.asp "?method=Forum" when you have Private Forums enabled, you have a list box called "Allowed Member List" it's a list of all forum members. So if you have 20K, 30K, 40K members, the page loads real slow. We did the mod to our search script many years ago, but no longer have the info on it. This seems to be the problem with Snitz for the last few years or so, support is dwindling down to almost nill. That's too bad. There used to be a gentleman on here that we paid to do some work on our forums by the name of Rui. He was great, though we had to pay him. Oh well, I guess nothing lasts forever!

What you are saying just flies against your voices of reason, kindness, and sincerity!

It kind makes sense doesn't it? I mean people don't want to work for free, but if you can get them to work for free, then you appreciate it. Well, up until the next time you squawk for help. If you have to pay for it, then you are not happy. If you get it for free most of the time, then you are still not happy!

Snitz and the support is free, but you still complain because it is not all free. And, like who can work for free?! Go figure.

Be happy with what you have already gotten for free and be gracious if someone has the time, generosity, and desire to help you for free! If you want to change support here from being nill to you, then learn some code and contribute regularly! Give back as much as you ask for help. If everyone who asked for help gave back just as much, then support here would be very active. If the support members here actually got paid what each is worth, then Snitz would have probably skyrocketed long ago!

He's referring to the "Allowed Member List" used during the creation or editing of a forum. These two routines would have to be deleted or modified:

			if recAllowedMemberCount <> "" then
				for iAllowedMember = 0 to recAllowedMemberCount
					AllowedMembersMemberID = allAllowedMemberData(amMEMBER_ID, iAllowedMember)
					if tmpStrUserList = "" then
						tmpStrUserList = AllowedMembersMemberID
					else
						tmpStrUserList = tmpStrUserList & "," & AllowedMembersMemberID
					end if
				next
			end if



		if recMemberCount <> "" then
			for iMembers = 0 to recMemberCount
				MembersMemberID = allMemberData(meMEMBER_ID, iMembers)
				MembersMemberName = allMemberData(meM_NAME, iMembers)
				if not(Instr("," & tmpStrUserList & "," , "," & MembersMemberID & ",") > 0) then
					Response.Write 	"                      		<option value=""" & MembersMemberID & """>" & ChkString(MembersMemberName,"display") & "</option>" & vbNewline
				end if
			next
		end if

Downside would be that you would have to edit the forum once for each/every member that you wanted to allow/remove access.

OK, Thanks. I understand now.

What if you did it something like this as I have on my search page?

I have a button for the members names. When clicked it brings up a pop up of my members list. Then when a name is clicked in the pop up it automatically places it in the box.

Would this be something that would work? If so, I could share the code for the button and the pop up page.

No, that wouldn't solve his issue. He simply wants to remove the member list altogether and replace it with an input field to manually type in members' names.

I have dug around the archives and as far as I can tell this has not been done or asked for before.
