XF 2.1 Make board visible on forum index for users without permission, but disallow them from actually going "inside" the board

[Mave]

Right now I have a VIP node and only VIPs can view and access it.
However I want guests and registered users to be able to view this node on the forum index and the "latest post by.." stuff.
It's only that when they click on the node link or the latest thread that a message should pop up saying that they aren't allowed to view the section.
How would I accomplish this?

There are node different permissions for

view node
view threads by others
View thread contents

 

[Mr Lucky]

In this scenario registered group (and unregistered) with these permissions can see the threade list titles, but get a notice they cannot view when they click to see the contents.

Is there a way to customize the error message for this case?

You can use Notices.
