XF 1.5 Template search_form_post

[NavyRet]

On our forum we have a some hidden areas that only staff (Mods and Admins) can see. Unfortunately, when a registered user clicks on the Search Forums link in the header, they are taken to the page generated by the search_form_post template and they can see the existence of these hidden areas. They can't access them, but even seeing the existence is something I don't want them to be able to do. Can someone please tell me how to edit the search_form_template to be able to hide these areas (by forum number) from all but staff (Moderators and Admins).

Thanks in advance.

If there is no permission to view the forums, then they should not appear anywhere.

You either have the user group/node permissions set incorrectly, or third party code is involved.

The search page is the only place they appear. They don't appear on the main page or anywhere else, but I'll check the node permissions. Thanks.

Edit: By golly, setting the node permissions for that group to Never fixed the problem. Thank you Sir Brogan.
