Hi.
I'd like to set up a WebWiz BB for use, and for viewing, only by a small group of users. Webwiz's permissions setup lets you hide forum names on the front page from unauthorised users. Is there an option to hide categories on the front page, too, so if people get to the BB by accident they get no clue what it's about? Or will I have to hack the code? If there have already been discussions about the general subject of making the BB look anonymous, could someone point me to them?
Thanks in advance.

There's a mod in the MOD area that hides the categories as well. Do a search for Hidden category int he MOD area. ------------- L. Jamal Walton http://www.ljamal.com/" rel="nofollow - L. Jamal Inc : Web/ Print Design and ASP Programming |

Thanks ljamal--sounds like just what I need. But the link in your original post about the mod:
http://ljamal.com/code/wwf701_hidcatmod.zip - http://ljamal.com/code/wwf701_hidcatmod.zip
Seems to be broken. Is there some other way of getting the zip file.
(Sorry if I'm missing something--I'm new here!)

The easiest way to do this is to disable registration so that only administrators can register people. Then redirect anyone who is not registered to the login screen. |
