Hi,

I was hoping someone could help me with a little code.

I am wanting to hide the new topic button if members do not have permissions for new posts.

I have done a thorough search here and found little on this subject.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

kind regards

suede

Just put them in a group that doesn't have permissions to create new topics. No coding needed, just forum configuration.

Hi Mr Mellie,

But the new topic button still shows! I don't wish to have the insufficient_permission.asp page to come up if users have no permissions to post.
I would much rather the button be hidden.

From searching, I understand that this was a feature of an earlier version of WWF.


regards

suede

Aah, my apologies then, I assumed if the feature wasn't available it wouldn't show it, like it doesn't show the upload icons if you disable file uploads. Guess I shoulda checked first.
