I was wondering if anyone had done this.
Basically I want to hide the forum I am using for the calendar from view on default.asp but would like all the contents to still be vieable in the calendar.
Anyone done this before?
Thanks

So basically, you don't want people to be able to view the forum via forum.asp and default.asp, but still be able to access the individual topics through the calendar itself?
I'd think you would just need a check in forum.asp and default.asp to not display the forum if it's a certain FORUM_ID. Probably wouldn't be too much to add.<

Somebody helped me with this same issue in the past, this is what I did in the default.asp. I'm sure I'd need an "end if", but I cannot remember where I put it. That should get you in the right direction.

Place this:
if ChkDisplayForum(ForumPrivateForums,ForumFPasswordNew,ForumID,MemberID) and ForumSubject <> "Events Calendar" then

Just before this line:
if ForumFType <> "1" then<

OK I tried this and nothing has changed.
REMOVED BAD CODE SEE RIGHT CODE BELOW
Do I need to edit any of the properties of the forum category to get it to not display to everyone?<

Nevermind I got it

replace this:
Code:

if ChkDisplayForum(ForumPrivateForums,ForumFPasswordNew,ForumID,MemberID) then

with this:
Code:

if ChkDisplayForum(ForumPrivateForums,ForumFPasswordNew,ForumID,MemberID) and ForumSubject <> "Events" then

I would probably refrain from using the ForumSubject and use the ForumID instead. That way it'll be a bit more scalable. If or when you edit the subject line of the forum (for whatever reason), you won't have to worry about changing your code to reflect the new subject.<
