Force login

[Starpaul20]

Add a setting that allows Admins to force a user to register/login in order to view the board.

[Eldenroot]

could be implemented for only specific forum or category as well?

[Starpaul20]

No, this is meant to be a board wide setting.

[Starpaul20]

Done.

[Eldenroot]

Ohh, I see. bad, because now you cannot force user to login/register for view specific forum - this feature has phpBB for example... you can only set password

@CU8ER, that's already possible since 1.6 or even earlier.. Just change Forum Permissions.

[Eldenroot]

@Destroy666x - OK, I have to find this option, sorry if I am wrong

Just found this:

if($mybb->usergroup['canview'] != 1)
{
    // Check pages allowable even when not allowed to view board
    if(defined('ALLOWABLE_PAGE'))
    {
        if(is_string(ALLOWABLE_PAGE))
        {
            $allowable_actions = explode(',', ALLOWABLE_PAGE);
            if(!in_array($mybb->get_input('action'), $allowable_actions))
            {
                error_no_permission();
            }

            unset($allowable_actions);
        }
        else if(ALLOWABLE_PAGE !== 1)
        {
            error_no_permission();
        }
    }
    else
    {
        error_no_permission();
    }
}

Is not that enough?

@Sama34, I thought it can be done with current usergroup permissions too.

No for "Can view board?" in Guests group permissions works just fine for me in 1.6. So it seems to be a duplicate.

Also, this seems to work fine for me.

[Sama34]

Yes, it does works.
