This hack lets you have private threads. A private thread is either:
* A thread where only some selected users can post
* A thread where some some selected users cannot post, everybody else can
With this regular users can protect their threads from regular spammers, it is useful for a roleplaying game, for a semi-private conversation (everybody can read, only some users can post), if you wanted to have a semi-private conversation with 5 people that is not possible in private messages, but a private thread would do.
The hack works:
When you create a thread you will be given the option for the thread to be private. If the thread is private you need to specify:
To allow some users or to deny some users (not both!)
Everybody can see the thread but when they try to answer they must have the proper permissions, otherwise a "this is a private thread" message would be shown to them.
After the thread is posted you can go to the "edit thread" screen and change which users can see the thread and its general behaviour, you can either make it public again or make a public thread now private. This is done by whoever has access to the edit thread tool.
I am not planning to release a "completely private" thread hack, if you don't want anybody to see the thread or to post in it just use a private forum
I think only not being able to post is enough functionality (at least for me!).
Please take in consideration this hack only runs with php version > 4.1.0
Info for hackers:
You may modify, improve, upgrade, redistribute this hack, include it
in another hack or yours or translate it provided you do it free of
charge and you distribute it in http://../ at least, there is no
need to pm me asking for permission
