how do I make a specific Forum being viewable only for registered members
and only for people over the age of 18 ?
hmmm.... the age verification which we have by default at the registration-page:
when I enter into ACP "Age restriction: 18" , I assume anyone entering an age under 18 will get an error-message ?
I have tried that too with an older Project i was working on some couple years ago.
To try keeping younger Users out of your board is quit impossible. It will only be more interesting for younger users in the end.
All our Users where -HokusPokus- 18 or older
I dont see a good way to do an Age restriction (i dont know any)
You can give just the Info but what will happen is not in your hands
Go to your:
Admin CP -> Users -> Node Permissions -> [click the forum]
Make it a private node and click Update:
View attachment 11559
Then grant access to the Registered group (in the same area):
Admin CP -> Users -> Node Permissions -> [click the forum] -> [click Registered]
Set Allow permissions.
The nature of a private node is that everyone is denied access except those which you explicitly allow.
when having a Private Forum (a Forum which is visible to registered members only), is there a chance to show the Forum-node to the public, but when clicking it then it forwards to the "Register Page" (similar as when having User-Profiles not showing publicly, but to registered members only).
Appreciate your help !
Nope. But this has been suggested.

A workaround, as I have done with my site, is to use a link node.
You can see it in action here: http://www.cliptheapex.com/community/
It's the F1 Overtaking Statistics & Analysis node.
It's just a standard link forum which you create in the ACP and set the URL as your private forum.would you mind sharing the "workaround" code in order to achieve this ?
It will error when being recommended as Facebook won't be able to access the URL.the other question: what happens with Facebook when having a Forum showing to registered members only ?
It's just a standard link forum which you create in the ACP and set the URL as your private forum.
In your previous post you said you wanted to set the URL as a private forum, which is what the instructions above are for.I would like to show the Node publicly, same as you have.
