Garden forum Question

[Dale Richardson]

I like BueVoda, And the way I can create my own site, I would like to also do the same for a Garden forum, without the use of a PHP program, I really dont care for any of the shins

I would like a site that, members would need to log in, an post messages an still have control over any postings

Can this be done by using BlueVoda?

No, you can not create a forum with the BlueVoda website builder. You will need a script
for this. Please click on the below to learn more...

Like ***** said you can't create one with blue voda, but their are cgi forums scripts out there to install if you don't want to use php

***** Okay if I decide to go with a php can it be set up that a member must log into it before viewing Dale

It can be setup so a member must register before posting.

You can also use the same forum script we use. Click the below.

You can set phpbb up to where forums are not viewable unless you are a registered. You can set any forum to be viewable to anyone, registered users, a group, mods & admin, or just admin.

How is it done?

[Watdaflip]

Log In > Go To Administration Panel -

Under the "Forum Admin" header click "Permissions"

Select a forum from the drop down box, and click "Look up Forum"

Under the drop down box click the "Advanced Mode" link

There are 9 different options that can be limited to certain groups/people

The first one is "view", in the drop down box below it select "reg"

Submit, and that forum can only be viewed by registered users
