I got the idea to create this hook after I saw this thread here:

http://community.invisionpower.com/topic/323845-portal-permissions/page__pid__2034103

The way it is now, you can't restrict a group or groups from viewing the portal unless you restrict them from viewing the board as well. But what about if you want a groups, say guests to not view the portal but to view the board and vice versa? That is where my hook comes in. It will give you the options to set the permissions for the groups to view the portal indepedantly from that of viewing the board.

Install the hook.xml file through Manage Hooks in your Admin Panel and then to congigure it go to System Settings. There you will see a new setting called NenaDice. Click on it and configure the hook to your needs. There you can enable/disable the hook, choose which usergroups you want to prevent from viewingt he portal and enter the error message that you want to show to those restricted groups when they will try to view the portal.

It looks like an interesting idea. I see an use for my own forum as well for this. I will see this week end to code such a hook.

Hello NenaDice,

good hook, but it doesn´t work in our ipboard version 3.1.4.
Is this version not supported, in your description i can´t find a hint.

I installed it, in ACP the options are changeable, the restriction is
set to Group Guest.

But the portal is readable for guests. :(
THX for hints

In the description for this hook i read, that the filesize is 9.65K
In downloadarea i see two hook.xml with 4.82K.
Is this a mistake?

Hello NenaDice,

good hook, but it doesn

Did you enable it as well? The hook works fine on Ipb 3.1.4 as well. I just tested it. At the download page somehow I had attached the file twice but I removed now the extra duplicate.

Thanks for your fast reply. :thumbsup:
Yes the hook is enable, the UID is ok.

But now we have uportal installed and all is good.

With the old portal we have the problem, that guest can
print Topics und Posts. Now, with uportal is this impossible.

Idea
What is the right link to your portal?
/admin/applications_addon/ips/portal or /admin/applications_addon/other

I am sorry but I didn't quite understood your question. What do you mean by the right link to my portal? Do you mean the path to the Ipb portal?

If that is the case, the path to it is at: /forum_folder/admin/applications_addon/ips/portal

Yes, this is what i mean.
I think to myself, it might be that the path was wrong and that is the mistake. But no.

It is strange as to why this hook is not working for you. I have tested and retested it several times and I use it at a client's forum and it works fine without any problems what so ever.

Hi - Thanks for creating this mod. Do you plan on updating it for 3.2 or does it simply work as is? The download application link says it is compatible with 3.1.4.

Thanks,

Brian

IPS turned it over to Mike John to continue to develop, it is still very much alive:

I did not say that it was not alive. But that it has been discountinued from Ipb as part of a default built in appliaction as it was before.

Hi -

Will this work for 3.3.4?

thanks,

Brian

[miro912]

[TracyIsland]

kind of answering my own question: I just tried using this hook on my board after I upgraded to v3.3.4 and it works fine
