New upcoming Version - Support for NO Guest users

My forum doesn't allow guest users.. You have to be registered to view the forums.
This works well with phpbb2 & ezportal, on the portal there is a list of recent topics and a selection of announcements and recent posts.
When I tried the current version of board3, I couldn't show the recent posts / topics as I don't allow guests..
Will the upcoming new version support this ??
Thanks

Yes, it will.
You can disable the user permission check separately for News and / or Announcements in V0.3.0.
These sections will be very flexible to configure.

Thanks for the reply.
I can see this for news & announcements, but not for recent topics / recent posts in other forums...
Am I missing something ??
You can see the sort of thing I mean on my current phpbb2 forum..

Which version of the portal do you have installed?
A similar feature to the EZ-Portal is offered up from Board3 Portal 1.0.0 RC1, not in older versions.

Not tested - try this:
open
recent.php
search:
Code: Select all
while( ($row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result)) && ($row['topic_title']) )
{
// auto auth
if ( ($auth->acl_get('f_read', $row['forum_id'])) || ($row['forum_id'] == '0') )
{
$template->assign_block_vars('latest_announcements', array(
'TITLE' => character_limit($row['topic_title'], $portal_config['portal_recent_title_limit']),
'FULL_TITLE' => censor_text($row['topic_title']),
'U_VIEW_TOPIC' => append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}viewtopic.$phpEx", 'f=' . $row['forum_id'] . '&t=' . $row['topic_id'])
));
}
}
$db->sql_freeresult($result);
replace with:
Code: Select all

Sorrry - does this stop Guests seeing the Portal? or does it give you the choices of what Guests can / cannot see?
That would be the icing on the cake... thanks

Which issue?
I DO NOT want guests to be able to see certain blocks in the portal - if that's not possible, not even see the portal at all - but still allow logged in users to be presented with it when they first come to the forum.
In England we've got CRAZY data protection and a tiny bit of info that is leaked (or seen in the portal) can mean being suued loads - it's stupid.
So stopping guests from seeing the portal would be awesome - even better if we could give them the time, a welcome note and guest announcements (and a link to registering of course) but then leave the rest of the portal out. But... I don't want to stop users from seeing all the stuff that's been blocked for guests.
I'm am barking up the wrong tree of impossiblity? or just looking in the Non-German place (don't speak a word, sorry).
Cheers for your time guys
