the typo is between the table name 'members' should be 'forums'

[Vince]

Thanks fixed.

[Tom]

Vadim, is it possible that certain groups can bypass the restrictions

[Vince]

Currently no.

[Breezzee]

Thanks for the mod Vadim88.  

Thought it wasn't working for me.......until I realized that Admin's get to bypass the lock. Had to log in as a test member to see it working.  

[Vince]

Glad you liked it.

[rico197]

Cheers man...

This mod DON'T work for guests ( ! ).

When I am trying to enter any forum I am getting the error of the quantity of required posts.

[Vince]

So, That's what it supposed to do! guests have 0 posts then it will show the error if the dont have the amount needed.

[DawPi]

But it still bug

I set 10 post to enter in A forum, but guest can't enter to forum B, but this hadn't set any number of posts to enter

[ann1957]

any  help would be appreciated when i have installed it all and gone to add in the amount say 150 posts before entering when i try to save this i get an ips driver error

[Tom]

Vadim,


I cant find that file
./sources/action_public/misc/attach.php

Do you know why?

btw. I have checked one of my first backups from Nov 2007 - There was no file in the related folder.
