Hello,

I'll try to speak a good English

I have two different questions :

- First, if I understand correctly, when we want to protect a page we have to add some code into it. But what is the difference between

Code: Select all

$is_auth = auth([b]AUTH_READ[/b], PAGE_VIEWMEMBERS, $userdata);

and

Code: Select all

$is_auth = auth([b]AUTH_ALL[/b], PAGE_VIEWMEMBERS, $userdata);

since we set the permissions in the administration panel ?

- Second question : setting full access to shoutbox and memberlist pages, how can I hide the locked "forums" named "SHOUTBOX" and "MEMBERLIST PAGE" ?

Thanks a lot

Lunatic.

$is_auth = auth(AUTH_READ, PAGE_VIEWMEMBERS, $userdata);
or
$is_auth = auth(AUTH_ALL, PAGE_VIEWMEMBERS, $userdata);

is used to fetch permission data from the DB, in the first case, you ONLY fetch the auth_read permission, while in the later, you fetch ANY permission data.

of couse the first one is the fastes, but if you ned to verify more than one type of permission, the secound will be the one to use.

e.g. if you have used
$is_auth = auth(AUTH_READ, PAGE_VIEWMEMBERS, $userdata);

you can later in thatpage use

Code: Select all

if ($is_auth['auth_read'])
{
}

but you can NOT use

Code: Select all

if ($is_auth['auth_post'])
{
}

if you instead use
$is_auth = auth(AUTH_ALL, PAGE_VIEWMEMBERS, $userdata);

you may use ANY permission you like
e.g.

Code: Select all

if ($is_auth['auth_mod'])
{
}

or

Code: Select all

if ($is_auth['auth_delete'])
{
}

Thank you for these good explanations

Can you help me about the first question ?

(I have attached a file in order to show the "forums" I would like to hide. On your board we don't see these forums)

the "special pages" should NOT show as forums, on your index page.....
I guess you have some other mod installed, witch handle how the forums are showen....

make shure this MOD, only fetch positive forum id's alternativly AND/OR does NOT fetch cat ID = 0

this should make them disaper

Ok, thank you again.

I think these "forums" appear because of the "Categories hierarchy" (created by Ptirhiik) is installed. These "forums" have a negative id (f=-7 ; f=-2 ; etc.)

simply modify the SQL the MOD have added/changed on index.php /functions_select.php pages

e.g.
SELECT * FROM ".FORUMS_TABLE."

becomes
SELECT * FROM ".FORUMS_TABLE." WHERE cat_id<>0
