How can the Active Topics and User Lists be hidden from people that are not logged into the forum. I thought I had all the appropriate settings set to allow this to only be visible to members once they log in. I have all the guest setting set to 0 that I think apply to this, did I miss something. Thanks

I don't believe there is a way to block the active topic completely.
But you may work around it by blocking access to the forums.
But anyway people not registered or logged in are considered guests.
If you goto
Control Panel » Group Management
to the right of guests are forum,site,cp.
I would start with the site section first.
There are several options there that will limit access to several items.

As far as active topics.

You could goto
Control Panel » Group Management again and select forums.
If you limit guests to not be able to see the forums in question.And or post or reply. That should stop them from seeing about everything except if you have a active topics island they will see the topic but will not be able to open it..

I'm pretty sure you'd have to edit the header.tpl file, look at the code surrounding the link for "my stuff" and duplicate that around anything you'd wish to not be "guest friendly"

Yes, Giz is right. Its in the header.tpl file. It just a case of moving things to the user section of code so it does not display to not registered users.

Okay, Yes that could be done I guess.
I was talking about stock code.

Well, he wants to nuke the links; the links don't care about permissions, so they'll always be there unless header.tpl is edited.

Now if he wanted to actually block guests from those scripts he'd have to edit the script file associated with the script and set the "member only" line to 1

it's actually "regonly" => 0, becomes "regonly" => 1, to be precise smile

scripts/activetopics.inc.php is the file

Just as an update... My board was just upgraded and I was having this problem, so I made the change to the script file referenced here, before I realized I just had to change the permissions in all of my secure forums to match each group's desired access levels. Obviously this issue was resolved in an update sometime after 2010. smile
