*****************************************************
View Only Boards - Modification for SMF
version 1.2c
© 2007-2011, Rudolf Martincsek
*****************************************************
Make boards visible on the forum index based on member groups. The access permission is still valid.
There is a setting to allow the view of the board index (topic listing).
If the "topic listing" is disabled then users won't be able to enter the board and view the topics inside. Also topics and posts of the read only boards won't show up in the Latest Posts area, the recent post or in other places.
When enabled, the users can access the boards and view the topic titles. Topics and post will appear normally in the Latest POsts and Recent topics listings.
In no case will the users be able to view the *content* of a topic or post in a board that is "view only".

--------------------------------------------------
Install using the Package Manager in your forum's Admin section. Before you install this version make sure you uninstall any previous versions. This will not remove your settings.
This mod supports only the 'default' theme. (Note: The "default" one that came with SMF, and not your forum's default!) If you are using another theme or a modified version of this one you will have to apply the changes manually. If it seems to you that the something is not how you would expect, check that you modified your themes correctly.

Note: Uninstalling the mod will *not* remove your settings! Reinstalling or upgrading your mod will use the already existing settings.
Note: On SMF2 you can undo the changes done in your database.



Have fun!
