ok i want a show a forum but guests can't go in it. when they click on it, it'll bring up the login form. i've seen a lot of forums with this. i knew how to do it, but forgot. thanks for helping me out
 
Two ways of doing it if u want to set it for the whole forum means u dun wana let guests enter any forum untill they login then

go to User Group manager and Edit Unregisterd Group settings

if u wana restrict them from accesion a particular section on fourm then

Go to Forum and Moderaters And select Forum permssions and Edit Particular Sections permission of Unregisterd group

Hope this clears u Evrythin ;)
 
ok i knew that and also changed stuff. like i went to forums & moderators > forum permissions > quick forum permission setup where i selected all "no" for guests. but then they can't even see that particular forum, and when select "yes" for "can see forum" they can see and access it but they don't see the threads. don't i have to do something in forum manager like make it a private forum or something.
 
don't use the "Quick Permission" option. When you click on Forum Permission (at the left navigation where all options are) it will bring a page listing all forums and all Usergroups. Find you forum and your usergroup and click "edit" on the left of the Usergroup Name. It will bring you to a page with detailed permission like "View content", "View Threads" etc...
 
no but still it doesn't work. i want the guest to see that particular forum but when he tries to access it, it will show a login form. get it? thanks
 
admin cp
usergroup
select usergroup - edit
Forum Viewing Permissions
Can View Forum - yes
Can View Thread Content - no

save & your done
 
OMG! wth. it still doesn't work. weird. like i logged out to see if it works or not and i can still go into the forums and see threads and thread contents. and i only want to do it for a particular forum. thanks for helping. do i have to do something in forum manager? like the option private forum?
 
Fast tutorial. I use a skin for my Admin CP but the links are the same.

1. Click on Forum Permission

2. Click on "Edit" like the image below. It should be on the forum and not the category just like below.

3. It will open something like the image below. The permissions are by default like in that image. Now you need to change them. Click "Set all to No" and then change "Can view Forum" to "Yes". So all should be no except that.

Hope it helps.
 
thanks for the tut. hey i found a live working example. go to TEAM GYSN and click "vbulletin gysn edition" and see it gives you that error message with login form. i want that. and once again thanks man.
 
yeah but still it doesn't work how i wanted. like guest can go into that forum and see the name of the threads but when they try to go into the thread it shows the error message. any ideas? sorry for bugging you guys
