Replace:

Code Select Expand

function check_board_time()
{
global $board, $modSettings, $user_info;

if(allowedTo('moderate_forum') || empty($board) || !in_array('ID_GROUP', $user_info['groups']));
return true;

$time =  (int) date("H");

if($context['user']['is_logged'])
$time = $time + (int) $user_info['time_offset'];
else
$time = $time + (int) $modSettings['time_offset'];

if($time > 23)
$time = $time - 24;

if($time > 8 && $time < 17 & $board == 'BOARD_ID')
fatal_error('You can\'t see this board at this time.');
}

?>

../index.php

Find:

Code Select Expand

loadPermissions();

Replace:

Code Select Expand

loadPermissions();

// What time is it?
check_board_time();

Change 'BOARD_ID' as the ID of the board to be restricted.
Change 'ID_GROUP' as the ID of the group to be restricted.
Edit $time > 8 && $time < 17 statement to change the restricted hours.
