[FIXED] Watch Out - Search showing Forums

[speedway]

Just a warning to all. In VB 2.x setting the display order of a forum's parent to zero prevented that forum showing in the search dropdown, regardless of it's own setting. e.g.

(Parent) Forum 1 [display order = 0] - Will not show
(Child) Forum 2 [display order = 1] - Will not show
.... and so on

But in VB3-B3 it will show ALL forums with a display order of 1, regardless of the parents setting. e.g.

(Parent) Forum 1 [display order = 0] - Will not show
(Child) Forum 2 [display order = 1] - Will Show
.... and so on


Don't know if this is a bug or not but can certainly catch out "lazy" admins :D

I believe this is intended behavior.

I don't agree - Surely if this was so, you wouldn't be able to hide parent forums;)

This is now fixed in CVS and will be available in Beta 4. Too much code to post a fix here.

Any idea when beta 4 will be available?:)

Private forums aren't set to 0 are they? I just thought they were hidden from everyone.

A forum with a displayorder of 0 is simply hidden, but can be accessed by entering the URL of the forum directly.

Private forums on the other hand cannot be viewed by unathorised persons, as they have specific forum permissions set for them. An unauthorised person attempting to view a private forum will be met with a 'No Permission' message.
