Codezwiz >> Forums >> General PHP Nuke Help >> Scroller Block showing Private Forums

Hi, first time poster here

. I am using a scroller block from PHP-Nuke and it works fine, but it displays the topics in our private forum. I have downloaded and installed your version with the same result. Is there somethign I should add to the code to prevent the scroller block forum from showing private forum area?
Thanks, here is the code:

if (eregi("block-ForumsScroll.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}

//include_once ('blocks/smileys.php');

global $prefix, $dbi, $sitename, $user, $cookie, $group_id;
$count = 1;
$amount = 5;
$content = "<A name= \"scrollingCode\"></A>";
$content .="<MARQUEE behavior= \"scroll\" align= \"center\" direction= \"up\" height=\"220\" scrollamount= \"2\" scrolldelay= \"25\" onmouseover='this.stop()' onmouseout='this.start()'>";
$content .="<center> <STYLE=\"text-decoration: none\">Last $amount Forum Messages</center>";
$result1 = sql_query("SELECT topic_id, topic_last_post_id, topic_title FROM ".$prefix."_bbtopics ORDER BY topic_last_post_id DESC LIMIT $amount", $dbi);
$content .= " ";
while(list($topic_id, $topic_last_post_id, $topic_title) = sql_fetch_row($result1, $dbi)) {
$result2 = sql_query("SELECT topic_id, poster_id, FROM_UNIXTIME(post_time,'%b %d, %Y at %T') as post_time FROM ".$prefix."_bbposts where post_id='$topic_last_post_id'", $dbi);
list($topic_id, $poster_id, $post_time)=sql_fetch_row($result2, $dbi);

$result3 = sql_query("SELECT username, user_id FROM ".$prefix."_users where user_id='$poster_id'", $dbi);
list($username, $user_id)=sql_fetch_row($result3, $dbi);

//$topic_title = substr("$topic_title", 0,17);
//$topic_title=parseEmoticons($topic_title);
// Remove the comment below to add the counter
//$content .="<STYLE=\"text-decoration: none\">Message: $count ";

$content .= "<img src=\"modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/icon_mini_message.gif\" border=\"0\"alt=\"\"><a href=\"modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=$topic_last_post_id#$topic_last_post_id\"STYLE=\"text-decoration: none\"> $topic_title </a> Last post by <A HREF=\"forum-userprofile-.html$user_id\"STYLE=\"text-decoration: none\"> $username </a> on $post_time ";
$count = $count + 1;
}
$content .= " <center>[ <a href=\"forums.html\"STYLE=\"text-decoration: none\">$sitename ]</center>";
//$content .= "<center><img src=\"images/banners/fatalexception-logo-88x31.gif\" border=\"0\"></center>";
$content .= "</a>";
?>

It looks like all you did was make the Forum private. Go back to the Forum ACP and go to the Forum Permissions. Look up the Forum, then set the permissions properly. Then they wont show up in the block.

OK, got it now...thanks...and sorry for the newbieness

Thanks again.

I have a self-imposed problem, but this is my requirement so any help will be greatly appreciated.

In the ACP, I have forums which are Private (but not hidden) to allow user without access to know they are there and they must request access. They can only view the title of the forum, but not see any messages or the content.

The Scrolling Block v2 allows those Private forums recent messages to be posted. I know the easy answer is to make them Private (Hidden), but that will not work for me.

Is there a way to hide those forums in ScrollerBlockv2 from 1) either those who do not have access, or 2) from everybody?
