Only members on a specific region are able to see the specific forum

[gunsmaker]

is it possible to only members on a specific region are able to see the specific forum? example : only USA members are able to see forum number /f7-.
like in the forumotion ACP options that only specific gorup members are able to see that specific forum. but i want based on region, only USA and/or other region.

since i saw the thread about region block that only USA peoples are able to register (i forgot to bookmark it xD). and i think its possible but idk how, i'm blind on this kind of things, so i decided to ask it here. xD

ok goto acp>modules>javascript management

create a new script

Title:your choice
placement: homepage

copy the code below

Code:

    $(function(){
        $.getJSON('http://ip-api.com/json', function(data) {
            var   ignorelist = '#Help With Other Scripts #Help With Css';
            var   locforums = ['US:Script Testing','IT:Css For Scripts'];
    var x = data.countryCode;
               $('li.row').each(function(){
                  if(ignorelist.match('#'+$(this).find('.forumtitle').text())){}
                     else{
                        $(this).attr('style','display:none');};
            for(var i=0;i<locforums.length;i++){
               var g = locforums[i].split(':');
               if(x == g[0]){$('li.row:contains('+g[1]+')').attr('style','');   
               };};});});});

Things You Need to Change

Code:

ignorelist 

this is a list of forums the script will ignore meaning they will show no matter what country your from.. just use the title of the forum with a hashtag at the beginning

example

Code:

ignorelist = '#title1 #title2 #title3'

next is

Code:

locforums

this is a list of forums and country codes
US = united states

each forum you want to show for the country should be setup like this

'countrycode:forum title'

and for each one separated with a comma

example

Code:

locforums  = ['US:forum title1','MA:forum title2','NL:Forum title3']

after your done with the settings save

@_Twisted_Mods_ , nice, but member from the other region still can see the topics inside the hidden forum (they cant see the hidden forum tho).
if the topics inside the hidden forum can be hide too, it will be better.

Hello,
That is a simple permission problem.

Go into the section in the acp and click on permissions. You will see little tick box(s) that say 'Can read the topics' un tick this for members and set only the groups you want to see it and save.

Hope this helps,

@brandon_g , i want all the usergroups BUT FROM SPECIFIC REGION can only see the selected forum and all topics inside the selected forum. the ACP only set the permission from usergroups only but not the region.
