Question 1.7 Users group permission and category, no filter

Hi,

I want this organization in the forum :

category 1
sub-category 1-1
sub-category 1-2
category-2
sub-category 2-1
sub-category 2-2
...

The registred have to be grouped with permission so that they only could see one sub-category, for exemple sub-category 1-2

I created users-groups
registered>category-1
registered>category-1>sub-category 1-2
...

I created category with permissions on users-group, for example
category 1-2 and permission users-group on sub-category 1-2

But the issue is all registered could see all categories !!

:silly: thanks a lot for you help

Kunena 1.7.0
version: Joomla! 1.7.0 Stable [ Ember ] 19-Jul-2011 Platform: Apache/2.2.X PHP version: 5.2.17 | safe_mode: Off | register_globals: Off | mbstring: Enabled | GD: bundled (2.0.34 compatible) | MySQL version: 5.0.90-log[/confidential]

It has anyone tried to set access rights by user group and sub-category?

Is it possible to assign specific users group to specific categories so they just could see those categories and not others ?

Settings are always category specific (not inherited), so you need to set the permissions for all categories. Category permissions themselves should work. Oh, you can also use access levels, but please apply the small patch in the sticky K1.7 issues topic.

wich topic ?

Hi.

I am using Joomla 1.7 with Kunena 1.7 and creating a forum with aprox. 1000 levels, an example follows:

>Main entry screen
>> category A <- block topics here
>>>> category 1 <- block topics here
>>>>>> category a <- allow topics here
>>>>>> category b <- allow topics here
>>>>>> category c <- allow topics here

>>>> category 2 <- block topics here
>>>>>> category a <- allow topics here
>> category B <- block topics here
>>>> category 1 <- block topics here
>>>>>> category a <- allow topics here
>>>>>> category b <- allow topics here

In the "category manager" the "locked" option will lock ALL entries, parents and below, so I am not able to lock for example: A, A1 and leave open A1a, A1b, A1c...

I am trying to understand the permissions but being a newbie (4 weeks) with a BIG deadline, I am imploring for a simple solution.

Thnx to any and all
