Hello,
I am curious if its possible to maybe use a if statement to only show threads for a certain usergroup?
For example:
Members will see regular member methods but if a VIP member posts something in VIP then the thread does not showup on the sidebar and so on.
I know there is a setting to only show sidebar to certain usergroups but not to hide posts and threads posted by a different usergroup.
Someone?

#1 RE: [MYBB] Any way to add this to recent threads sidebar 27-03-2017, 01:25 PM #2 Once you create a thread, you'll have a lsit of user groups who can view, reply, make polls, etc.
You have to change the user group permissions inside the thread. So if you only wanted a VIP user group to view "VIP Thread" inside the VIP Forum, you'd have to set view for everyone, a part from VIP, to not view. It's literally a simple case of moving View from the left section to the right. ![[Image: xvv2qQA.png]](https://i.imgur.com/xvv2qQA.png)

True but thats not the problem the problem is that members will see the titles etc of the posts made in vip in the sidebar. They cannot view the thread but i just dont want the threads to show up for dat usergroup in sidebar.
For example if i make a thread called bla bla bla in vip the sidebar shows Bla bla bla made by username but also people who are not vip will see dat. I only want regular members to see regular members threads and vip members can view all and so on.

What version of MyBB are you running, because with 1.8.10, once you set thread permissions, users who cannot view a certain thread, will not be able to see the hidden posts under the sidebar?

Run a copy of 1.8.10, and copy all sidebar settings from the preferences into the 1.8.8 files.

I'd just reccomend on making a duplicate forum, and only copy those specific settings from the 1.8.10 version to the 1.8.8 (original) version. Therefore nothing will break on your main forum.

Create a secondary MyBB Forum, only running 1.8.10.
Most people will have their forums either under root/forum/ or under root itself. If you create a subfolder with a brand-new install of MyBB, running only 1.8.10, you should be able to copy the thread settings and the user settings that prevent sidebar snooping for members that haven't gotten those view priverlages.
Depending on your linux hoster, most CPanels will allow you to duplicate your forum database, free of hassle under any subfolder. Meaning if you created a secondary website (for testing), you would have your main under www.example.com/forum and your example under (either) www.example.com/forum2 or www.example.com/forum/forum2.
