Title: Guest Board and Rediretion Board
Post by: $H-GAGE$ on November 18, 2006, 11:57:01 am

How do i make only the guest board visible to guests and not any other??
And can there be a redirection board where u click and go somewhere else the admin wants u to go???

To make a board only available to guests, go to admin CP. Click on "manage boards".
Find the board you want to use and click "modify". You'll then see a list of member groups with boxes after them for access.
Make sure you put a check mark in the box next to guests. MAKE SURE ALL THE OTHER BOXES ARE NOT CHECKED.
This will give your guests access to that board but block everyone else from seeing it.
(Make sure you click "modify" next to the board...NOT THE CATEGORY)

For the second part of your question

Stick this code in the board's name
<a href="URL">NAME OF BOARD</a>

Replace the capitals.
For example, for a board named Off-Topic that redirected to google would be:
<a href="http://www.google.ca">Off-Topic</a>

Just do the opposite of my first post...place a checkmark next to all groups you want to grant access for,but leave the box next to guests blank. You have to repeat this for each board.

If you block access, members will only be able to view that board until they log in.

You have to remove access from guests for every other board.

So goto every other board in your forum and UNCHECK the guest box under Access

H-GAGE edit the permissions for guests so that they can make new topics and post replies to topics. (Plus anything else you want to add)
