I would like to be able to hide some of the topics in a phpBB-based forum temporarily from the users - perhaps with the exception of administrators and moderators.I am using the forum for my students and I have solutions of some problems from exams and tests there - posted either by me or by some of the students. I plan to use the same or very similar problems during the next academic year. So I don't want the students to see them, but I want to make the solutions visible again after the tests; so that I do not have to post solutions to same questions again.Is something like this possible? Is this a standard part of phpBB, or do I need to install some modification(s) for it?
Is it possible to hide some topics in phpBB forum?
phpbb
Here is a link to a PDF (PHPBB3 admin guide especially from page 9 to 11) it will help you create group permissions for a specific sub-forum (for phpBB3 as written in the link name).But if you're free to use any platform I recommend using Moodle Course Management System instead of PHP-BB in your case . It's a pretty powerful tool for...well online course management.
