Hi,

This is an idea I have as a birthday present for my sister.

I'm making a site for her and I want her friends (and family) to post messages and images for her to see. Naturally I thought the easiest way was for them to register as users in b2. That way, I can be admin and when they register, I can easily accept them. Once they are accepted they can post 'happy birthday' messages and whatnot for her.

The problem is, I dont want them (the friends/family) to see what *other* people posted. I only want the admin to be able to see the messages. So that when my sisters' birthday comes, I can just give her the password and then she can see the messages.

Is that possible? I hope it is. It would really make a nice birthday present (cheap too).

I hope it happens! And thanks in advance for reading this.

I don't see how it'd be possible without significant editing. As my friend says, "anything is possible with PHP". But I know of no way in the options or something to make it like that. b2 is designed to allow everyone to read it as far as I know.

Ooo, idea. Don't allow anyone access to index.php besides your sister. Give posters the link to b2edit.php or whatever, but edit it to not show any of the other posts below (should be simple to remove that code). That should work...

If you haven't already installed b2, I advise you look into WordPress or b2evo instead as b2 is dead.

how do you do that?

im pretty advanced in html, but not so much in php so please be specific.

In b2edit.php, look for line 336 or thereabouts:
[php:1:90844385d7]include($b2inc."/b2edit.showposts.php");[/php:1:90844385d7]

Change it to:
[php:1:90844385d7]if ($user_level >= 10) {
include($b2inc."/b2edit.showposts.php");
} else if ($user_level <= 9) {
echo "<center>Post view disabled.</center>";
}[/php:1:90844385d7]
