Allowing only some registered users post reply in certain topic

I would like to the subject (reply in topic) give access only some registered users, perhaps by the help of NICK?

Nickname doesn't mean anything from the technical view - you need to assign user IDs, the same as topic IDs.

The code like

$restrictedTopics=array(TOPIC_ID_1, TOPIC_ID_2, ...);
//specify certain topics above

$allowedRestUsers=array(USER_ID_1, USER_ID_2, ...);
//specify certain user IDs above

if(isset(topic) and $topic>0 and in_array($topic, $restrictedTopics) and !in_array($user_id, $allowedRestUsers) ) $poForums[]=$forum;

pasted at the end of the bb_plugins.php should work.

is it possible to make viewing some thread just for registered users, means: if not registered can't go into the thread, it must be registered to allow him go in the thread!

Thanks!

Put the code below in bb_plugins.php (substitute for YOUR_TOPIC_ID):

Paul
thanks...but nothing happen...when i edit some code in it just showing that message in every page even for sign up, "Only registered users are allowed to view this thread"
...how can i set just for some thread not all...thank u so much!!!

Fix: the code above should contain $topic instead of $topic_id. Everything else works on my side, so I don't know what's happening with your code, sorry.

Paul
I did but again not working....anyway...thank you so much mr.paul ;)

Persian
Just make sure you are pasting topic ID properly. Everything should work, it's a primitive code.

Paul
thank you so much...it's working now ;)

is it possible also for thread? or just topic?

What is the difference between a thread and a topic in your opinion?

Paul

yah, you are right....

I mean this is a thread :

forum/1_0.html >> (thread)

and this is the topic inside that ("forum/1_0.html")

forum/1_1_0.html >> (topic)

I want to do it for (forum/1_0.html)

is it possible?

Here is the code, you just need to modify the above example a bit:

Paul
wow...thank you so much it's working now....one more question mr.paul:

can i put for two or three forum also?

You could try:

if($user_id==0 and $action=='vtopic' and ($forum==YOUR_FORUM_ID or $forum==YOUR_FORUM_ID2 or $forum==YOUR_FORUM_ID3)){

it's working now...thanks....;)
