MyBB Community Forums

1. Add an announcement (modcp.php?action=new_announcement) to a forum "Forum-A" or whatever
2. ACP > Set permissions for admin group such as they can view "Forum-A", but cannot view threads within.
3. Visit the forum. The "Rating" tcat is not shown.

This is obviously same for all usergroups, not just admin.

In forumdisplay.php, find (around 643):

	if($foruminfo['allowtratings'] != 0)
	{
		eval("\$rating = \"".$templates->get("forumdisplay_announcement_rating")."\";");
		$lpbackground = "trow2";
	}

Replace with:

	if($foruminfo['allowtratings'] != 0 && $fpermissions['canviewthreads'] != 0)
	{
		eval("\$rating = \"".$templates->get("forumdisplay_announcement_rating")."\";");
		$lpbackground = "trow2";
	}
