phpBB

[Davie_G71]

Afternoon all,

I've just set up a forum and would like to limit access to the forums by asking users to apply to certain forums like BCF.

I can't see the setting anywhere.

Anyone have any experience doing this, Korn?

David.

I am pretty sure that is an add on type thing you need to install yourself.

Just google phpbb scripts

[Davie_G71]

Done that, got nowhere.

tried searching for phpbb regional script. No joy.

Don't look up regional scripts, look up usergroup permissions. I've not used phpBB for years but I'd have thought it'd be built in. You setup some public usergroups and setup permissions on individual forums so that only those specific usergroups have access.

Hmm, i can see where to set the usergroup permissions and have one set up. But i can't see where to only allow access if the user is a member of that group.

Or in fact where to put the text to join the group.

Set up a usergroup.

Go to 'permissions' tab, select 'forum permissions', select the forum, in the manage groups, add the usergroup you want to be able to see that forum
