Question Forum post restriction

You're right, ae3d. Your question has not been asked here. Your question has been many times in [Merged topic] User Groups, User Group Privileges, ACLs

It has always been possible in Kunena to restrict access so that people cannot view messages in certain categories, it has never been possible to perform the kind of action-based restriction that you have referred to. Your request cannot be achieved at this time in Kunena but it is something that needs to be looked at for the future.

sozzled. Thanks for the heads up
i did some searching but i guess my query wasnt correct to find that topic.
Never the less.....i wanted to talk now about a HACK for an interim use to achieve this method of restricting posting topics according to GROUP level

What if we were to write a hack to the kunena code that would simply HIDE the POST NEW TOPIC
button to anyone of a specific use group ID or LEVEL ?

I dont know php that well but i do know it can be a simple "if...else Statement"

As an example
if (condition)
code to be executed if condition is true;
else
code to be executed if condition is false;


the "TRUE" condition would be ( if group ID = 2 ) 2 being Registered users
the "false" condition would be ( if group id = anything else )
