Full Version: Make users read announcement/thread before accessing forum

Anyone know of a plugin that makes users read an announcement/thread before allowed access to a specific sub-forum?
You could try with a forum password - there was an edit on mybb hacks, but I cannot find the thread.
Yes, I looked at that Vernier - but I THINK it would need editing to make it apply to a certain sub-forum?
Try install http://mods.mybb.com/view/force-thread and do the following:

Open forcethread.php

Find: (line 109)
if($mybb->user['forcethread'] == 1 && intval($mybb->settings['forcethread_active']) == 1)

Replace with:
if($mybb->user['forcethread'] == 1 && intval($mybb->settings['forcethread_active']) == 1 && $mybb->input['fid'] == X)

Replace X with the forum's ID of which you want to show the message to.

I saw that one earlier but it really doesn't look reliable or safe. I'll check the code though.
Hi,
