I want to make a mod that uses a new Auth Type for a forum. The new type would have all topics within it readable by all but writable by only admins, moderators of that forum, and the author of that topic.
Questions: 1. What is a currently unused auth type by the base code and mods? 2. How do I identify the author? I think the author has a diffrent mlev but I'm not sure. 3. What other than topic.asp, forum.asp, and post.asp will need to be mod'd?<
how can an user write a post in such a forum? if you lock forum only admin and moderators can write in that forum, and all can read
How can you have an author topic different from an admin or a moderator? If he has not a topic inthat forum you have not an author to allow writing...<
Have you look at OneWayMule Forum Rules MOD? It has some of the basic features you are discussing here? Seems it can be adopted for your MOD, though the point raised above by modifichicci will be a design issue, it seems.<
ah ok that has more sense, in image portal 3.06 there is implemented the function of posting restrictions, so you can choose forum by forum who can post a topic and who can reply to topic.
You can download the portal and check for the code in post, post info<
OneWayMule Forum Rules Mod seems to only give guide lines but not anything to enforce them. I'm still trying to get a hold of a copy of image portal 3.06.
Doesn't work yet. I need to change from checking F_TYPE to F_PRIVATEFORUMS so hold off on testing. Topic.asp has been changed post_info.asp has not yet.
