xF2 Add-on [EAE Add-ons] Contacts 1.2.0

Changes:

• 3 template modifications needed to be re-worked to be compatible with XF 2.1 and XF 2.2. The affected template modifications were for forum_post_quick_thread, forum_post_thread, and thread_edit templates.

Feature:

• a new forum permission was added: View contact-only threads by others. This node permission, if set to No, members who are not a part of the thread starters selected contact list can not see the thread. The thread will not show up in what's new, latest posts, or other applicable areas. For those belonging to the contact list used in the thread, that thread will be included in what's new, latest threads and other applicable areas. Note, that with this permission set to No, the last post information will be replaced with 'Private'. Set to View others permission on upgrade/install (normally Yes)

FAQ:

Q. How do I make contacts only thread not viewable to those not in my contact list?

A. For the node in question, ensure the option Allow contact lists to be used in this forum is checked. Then for the Registered group and Unregistered / Unconfirmed group set View contact-only threads by others to No.

Note, that you do not need to make that forum a Contacts only forum. That is up to you.
