Ok, you're setting up your forums or you're adding a couple of new forums to your existing site. You don't want them to be publicly available or you want to add a couple of initial post before you let the great unwashed get their hands on them.
But as soon as you click 'Create new forum' button your forum goes public and your eager public go 'Ooh! a new forum, lets see what it's all about!'
Yes, you can set it as locked but then it can still be read.
Anyway, to cut a long story short...
to make your forums Private (ADMIN only) by default,
in admin/admin_forums.php
find
| Code: |
"auth_view" => AUTH_ALL,
"auth_read" => AUTH_ALL,
|
replace with
| Code: |
"auth_view" => AUTH_ADMIN,
"auth_read" => AUTH_ADMIN,
|
And there you have it. |
