Guests can't enter certain forums

[lilah]

I would like to have to kinds of forums for my mybb:

one which guests can enter, read all topics and post their questions in
and another one that guest can't enter. but they should be able to see the forum on the index (no topics or subforums) so they can tell that there are other forums and there is activity in these forums.

so far I found no configuration and no plugin that made this possible. I would be very grateful if someone could help me with that.
thanks in advance

If I  understood right, that is possible with the already existing forum permissions.

Go to forum configuration, click the editor options tab, a popup will come up and there will be a link to edit "Permissions".

With that way,it can't be like this:

yes adisp007 is right, it's not possible using the existing permissions, i tried every combination

I also tried the suggested "Guest's Can't View Threads" plugin, but it has no visible effect

Try to set this permission for guest usergroup for the specified forum(s):
Can View Forum: No
Can View Threads: Yes
Then set the Hide Private Forum setting to No (Forum Home Options settings group).

I'm sorry if I misunderstand what you mean.

@lilah
Maybe that plugin isn't compatible with current version of MyBB.
I haven't tried it.

Did You forget this: http://community.mybb.com/thread-60718-p...http://community.mybb.com/thread-60718-post-440991.html ???

that way, they can't see any forums but will be rejected on the index page (but it is a configuration, i hadn't tried so thanks for that)

the guest should be able to enter and post in the (2 or 3) forums, where they can ask questions and stuff
all other forums should be "members only", but the guests should see that the forums are there

its complicated i know

the easiest solution may be to deny them, when they try to enter a forum, they can't post in.
another possibility could be to make the forum names "not clickable" (remove the link from the title, when they cant post there)

Just use the showthread_start hook, I wrote the plugin but need to release in the mods site.
