Thats not possible you can disbale it for ALL categories or NONE there is no way to do only some categories and not others.

btw that was only the view.php file you would need to edit teh other file the same way too to make it so that only moderators can post on any category

Actually, it should be possible to selectively disallow "ordinary users" having access for some categories, but you need to write PHP to do it.

The current code in view.php is
Code:
if ($is_Moderator || ($forumLocked == 0 && ($kunena_my->id > 0 || $fbConfig->pubwrite))) { //this user is allowed to post a new topic $thread_new = CKunenaLink::GetPostNewTopicLink($catid, isset($fbIcons['new_topic']) ? '<img src="' . KUNENA_URLICONSPATH . $fbIcons['new_topic'] . '" alt="' . _GEN_POST_NEW_TOPIC . '" title="' . _GEN_POST_NEW_TOPIC . '" border="0" />' : _GEN_POST_NEW_TOPIC); }
You need to extend this with something like
Code:
if ($is_Moderator || ($forumLocked == 0 && ($kunena_my->id > 0 || $fbConfig->pubwrite))) { //this user is allowed to post a new topic $thread_new = CKunenaLink::GetPostNewTopicLink($catid, isset($fbIcons['new_topic']) ? '<img src="' . KUNENA_URLICONSPATH . $fbIcons['new_topic'] . '" alt="' . _GEN_POST_NEW_TOPIC . '" title="' . _GEN_POST_NEW_TOPIC . '" border="0" />' : _GEN_POST_NEW_TOPIC); if (!($is_Moderator) && ($catid == xx)) { //this "ordinary" user is not allowed to post a new topic unset ($thread_new); } }
Where xx is one of the category ids that you not want to allow. If you want to disallow more then you'll have to extend the if-condition. Remember, whatever you do in view.php, you also have to do in showcat.php

I haven't tested the idea and I have no way of knowing if it works. That's for you to discover. Good luck.

Hi guys,

we dont need to make it so hard, this one is very simple to do ;)

Function $is_Moderator already check if user have permission in that category and we need to stop check on the User id.

As I said before changes should be done in two files view.php (line 274) and showcat.php (line 251).

You'll find that code

if ($is_Moderator || ($forumLocked == 0 && ($kunena_my->id > 0 || $fbConfig->pubwrite)))

You need to delete red code like that

if ($is_Moderator || ($forumLocked == 0 && ($fbConfig->pubwrite)))

that's all. :laugh:

After that your GLOBAL MODERATORS (without assigned categories) are available to make new topic in whole forum, your MODERATORS (with assigned categories) can make a new topics ONLY in categories where they are moderators.

That's true, @aquila, but you also should note the user's additional qualification:

Thanks again, sozzled, @aquila and Cerberus.

The solution is close to being found from the suggestion of sozzled.

Your tip, @aquila, would be the most charming, but my forum have two categories. One, free, where any user can start threads. And the other one, where only moderators can start threads. Your solution would be perfect if I have only the second.
