I create a plugin that will allow the administrator to set forum(s) as private. these forums will only be visible when you login.

I would imagine this requires your other plugin (hack) for admin options to work!?

I am getting this beside each item in the private forum list in the admin:

Warning: array_key_exists(): The second argument should be either an array or an object in /var/www/html/blog/forum/my-plugins/private-forums.php on line 29 value="1" > Terms of Service

Any ideas?

If I submit anything in that page, it gives me the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: is_serialized() in /var/www/html/blog/forum/my-plugins/site-options.php on line 179

I just redownloaded both site options and private forum plugins and reinstalled them.

Still get the error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: is_serialized() in /var/www/html/blog/forum/my-plugins/site-options.php on line 179

Should I just give up and get lastest code?

I'm using the latest nightly. Instead of get_option() use bb_get_option().

I'm looking for a forum that is viewable publicly but to which only the Admin can post. Does this plugin accomplish this?

If you want a forum that is viewable publicly, but only the admin could post, you could just create the forum and take away register.php from the install so no other users could post. Then you would just need to edit your template files to take away all instances that refer to logging in and registering.

You need to update to the newest version of bbpress I think.

but then: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: is_serialized() in [..] bb-includes/functions.php on line 364

So10, is it possible to have an addition (or another plugin) that will mark the private posts (under latest discussion on front page) as such? That way, then people would know to be logged in to view them without getting fired off the error (not logged in page)?

We need a download section on the plugin homepage, BBpress plugins repository is broken :(

If you ever feel like upgrading this plug-in, here's a feature request:

Make the specific forum private to certain user classes.

I recently converted from SMF, where I had a number of 'secret' forums. These were were used for 'in-house' project discussions, not for your average user. I had to delete all these sub-forums from bbPress because they weren't for all eyes to see.

I'd love to be able to set it so that only 'staff' can see a particular board, whereas most boards would be accessible by all.

I second that and suggest an additional option. I'm using private forums but it is lacking two things that would make it great and make bbPress more in line with other forums:

1. allow viewing to be based on class, e.g. I have a admin section that I only want admins to even know exists, but I also have other forums that I do want people to see but not necessarily acces, which leads onto...

2. allow the ability to reply to topics but not create new ones, e.g. you have fixed items (like, say a support forum) where people can post questions but not create new topics.
