webmaster1 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Hi All, I've just installed SMF Forum on a site of mine. It's working fine. Does anyone know how I should go about making the forum section of the site private? I don't want it to be publically accessable i.e. blocked access from all forum pages. Is this something I can configure from withing SMF or can do I need to apply some of my own PHP scripting?

webmaster1 Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 I've come across various scripts to password protect a page using sessions. Can this be done to the folder that contains the forum on my directory? The folder in question has 777 permissions.

[-_-] Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 You can make certain forums invisible to the public with smf. You can also give certain members special privellages. Are you planning on making a private torrent site? ???

webmaster1 Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 Nope. Just a reserved area for a few freinds discussing a mutual topic. So from what you're saying I should be configuring the privacy from within SMF?

Mchl Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 You can do this using SMF administrative tools. http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=114 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/154113-solved-making-a-section-of-site-private-using-php/#findComment-810134 Share on other sites More sharing options...
