Question [Merged topic] How can I make ONLY moderators to be able open new threads?

ver 1.5.8 how can i made ONLY moderators can open new threats
the reg users can only post and answer and can not open new threats

please urgently

k1.5.8 is no longer supported you should upgrade to K1.5.9

and to answer your question: its not possible to do with K1.5x but i read on here that it maybe a feature in k1.6x but devs will confirm that if im right.

There is no standard means available in K 1.5.x to achieve this. I am unaware that K 1.6 will change this behaviour, either - I have seen no evidence that this idea has been implemented in any test versions that I have experimented with.

It may be possible to solve this problem by hacking the source code. If the matter is urgent, I would suggest paying someone to make the necessary changes: www.joomlancers.com is a good place to start. If you can afford to wait, there might be a user here who would be interested in taking on your project.

Hello,

I want to set a rule to only moderators can start threads. This is possible on Kunena 1.5.12?

Thank you

nope this is not possible

I am thinking in a solution like:
- If user is a moderator or administrator then show the NEW THREAD button.
- If is a ordinary user, only can reply.

Do you know what are the files that show NEW THREAD button?

Hi Micheltl,

default_ex template

view.php around line 277 and
showcat.php around line 254

Regards

I'm sorry. @quila wrote a message that was lost while I was merging these two topics. He wrote:

Thanks @quila and sozzled.

Do you know how can I insert a condition, like this:

If forum-parent-id = x and user is not a moderator then
DO NOT show button "NEW THREAD"
End if

I can pay for this job, ok?

Thank you again
