Question Kunena Moderator-Assigning from joomla member

Sir xillibit and Matias, Thank you for the assistance, it worked as I expected.

one more thing What file name do I have to edit in order to achieve this




because I want that user to see only that category where he/she will be assigned.


Sozzled.. I am sorry about that. Could you transfer this topic to appropriate section?

There's no file you need to edit. You have defined a group in Joomla (that is a sub-group of the Administrator group :blink: called "Category Moderators". You need to assign the users in Joomla to the "Category Moderators" groups and then they will be able to access the "Category Moderators" Kunena categories. Even so, this has nothing to do, really, with assigning Kunena moderators (see How to assign a moderator in Kunena? ). Now that, I think, is really the question here!

I don't think that this part of your question has been properly addressed. As I have just written, you can allow users to access different categories but whether or not they can moderate those categories is a different question. I just want to make sure that we have not missed something important.

sir sozzled.. I am sorry that I didn't explained what I want very well. My client wants a forum which is exclusively for his clients only. Each client and category moderator has their own category which can't be accessed by other clients and moderators unless they were assigned to that category.I want my client to manage the category users and moderators without being confused with the joomla user manager and kunena user manager that is why I asked such questions.

Hitted thanks button as a sign of gratitude

Thank you for clarifying your request for information.

As I have remarked before, when these kinds of requests are injected into this forum, a discussion forum (like Kunena) is primarily intended to be used for general, free-ranging discussions from all those who use the website where the forum is hosted. That is not to say that the kind of request made by you is not possible to achieve but, in order to achieve it, you will be defeating the purpose for which Kunena was designed.

As I mentioned in the first numbered point of a summary I made of the kinds of requests we receive that restrict the free-range use of Kunena (see msg #243 off [Merged topic] User Groups, User Group Privileges, ACLs ), the requirement that you seek to achieve is probably better met by employing a help desk system instead of a forum. A help desk system will provide client users with the degree of confidentiality that your client seeks to obtain and will do so in a way that will involve less complications than having to setup unique ACLs for each user of your client's website.

Thank you sozzled. Do you know a help desk system extension for joomla? So I wouldn't have to modify kunena. I apologize for not realizing what I want to achieve will change the purpose of Kunena.

Thanks a lot. I really appreciate your help

One more thing sir, is there any tutorial in developing kunena extensions? I am thinking to create an extension for kunena however I still don't have any idea what to develop, well you see, I am computer science fresh graduate and I want to further my knowledge in Php programming and this might be the opportunity to achieve that

Again, Thank you:)

Well, in Kunena 1.7 there are no real extensions because of the limitations of our design. So there's no documentation and no examples on how to do it. You need to hack the features in, which is not good.

We've tried to fix a lot of issues like this in 2.0.
