Question Problems with Separating Categories

I want to use Kuena to have three separate forums for different user groups. One public, one registered, and one for authors only. I thought I had set everything up correctly, each designated group sees only the category that they have access too. The front page for each group corresponds to the category I created for them. However, when a user clicks on their category, all categories, threads, and topics get grouped under the wrong section url.

To better explain, the three different forums have the following urls:

/patients/members/forum
/physicians/members/forum
/board/members/forum

for each of those urls, one sees the patient forum, one sees the physician forum, and one sees the board forum

but when a topic or thread is clicked the url changes to /patients/members/forum/(id#-title) regardless of which category the user is in. All of the threads get sent over to the patient url.

Is there any way to stop this from happening? I want the topics and threads for each group to have urls in their designated webpages, not all in patients.

G'day, crapozo, and welcome to Kunena.

Creating separate categories for different user types is covered in the following two articles in the Wiki (the second part has a number of specific case studies that might be helpful to you):

1. Sections, Categories, sub-categories (Part 1)
2. Sections, Categories, sub-Categories (Part 2) - advanced setup for special groups

Creating different forum URLs is a little bit trickier. Look at this website, for example. There is the main forum ( www.kunena.org/forum/ ) and there is the "playground" ( www.kunena.org/playground/ ). To find out more about how to implement this idea, please look at Customised Menus in the Wiki. There is a worked-through example of the concept >>> here <<<
