mod req: admin access to pwd protected forum

Isn't it a feature of WWF?

I think this can simply be done via the admin CP. Why would you need to password protect it if only for admin? just give access to admin only in group perms.

you would need to alter a few files such as forum_topics.asp, forum_posts.asp and edit and delete etc

You would need need to do:

if admin then
    permission = true
else
   *exisiting permissions*
end if


This would be very complicated to do, but i do agree that admins should not have to enter the password.


As a side note: only admins can set the password, so theoretically you should already know the password.
