Hi,

How do I disable new topic creation for a single forum.

The members should be able to make posts to existing topics though,
but new_topic button shouldnt be displayed.

I checked the admin control panel, but couldn't find a detailed
single forum property management.

Thanks.

Use the group permissions to do so (read the manual).

Basically you need to click on the "group manager" link on the forum's front page and then edit the permission for the group controlling resources for the forum who's permissions you want to alter.

Thanks, I did something like this in the .tmpl files and it worked.

{SECTION: new_thread new thread link}

<?php if ($frm->forum_id != 1) { ?>
<a class="GenLink" href="{TEMPLATE: new_thread_lnk}"><img alt="{MSG: new_thread}" src="{THEME_IMAGE_ROOT}/new_thread.gif" /></a>
<?php } ?>

{SECTION: END}

This is weird though. I mean, if I do something like this in C, I
would be lucky if the computer doesn't fucking explode on my face.

But here, not only was my CPU intact, the display even came out as I
wanted it to.. Must have some fuckign mind reading mechanism or
something.

php is some weird shit, to say the least..

Anyway, I got my content system working, using the forum id = 1
for serving the articles and posting comments. The articles are read,
and the new_thread-button hidden if frm->id == 1.

Thanks for the good piece of software. But add the old fuckign style
if you want it to be fucking popular... Wink

This is a bad solution because someone could still access the post form, all you did was remove a link to it.

The proper way of doing it via group manager.

I did block it through group manager too. But the button still shows,
which creates a clutter.

Was that sarcasm or something?

I hate inconveniencing people who have the goodness of heart to come
and visit my site.

I strive to be a good host, unlike some people I can name.... Wink

I need a help.

I need to pre-create around 150 topics at one go. They all can have
the same subject and the same body.

Can you just point me to the function that does it. I did grep -ir
"post" inside, but found that "post" is some kind of generic word for
a lot of f'king things..

So is there anyway I can get my stuff done without losing my limb in
the process?

Thanks.

All I needed to do was send 150 mails. or run maillist.php 150 times.
I will disable the subject checking, that's all.

imsg.pnc.t is absolutely beyond me.

Thanks.

Running mailist 150 times is probably easier especially if you write a quick script to run it for you Smile
