Question User Groups, User Group Privileges, ACLs

Hi Matias

Is this plugin available.
we need a solution pretty quickly so any help would be great.

Thanks
Richard

It's available for our testers and works with J1.6.4. If you're interested to test AND report bugs from it, please join into our testers group in JomSocial. After getting approved you will have access to our internal builds.

Hi Matias,

I think we have found a work around which will be ok for our client.
If it is not suitable I will come back to you.

thanks

I couldn't figure out how to have a forum under a category where everyone could view it but only authors/editors/publisher/managers/adminsitrators could reply to it.

G'day, aryrob, and welcome to Kunena.

In the past couple of years we've received many different variations on your question. Some people only want administrators to be able to create topics; other people want anyone to create topics but only the administrators can answer them; people want to be able to partition off various parts of the forum so that some categories work in one of these two ways but everywhere else works differently. You understand what I'm driving at?

When you get right down to what, basically, Kunena is all about, Kunena is a web-based discussion forum that is designed to help people build virtual communities of people who can meet and discuss things. Some people would like to see Kunena as a kind of "help-desk" system, where people ask questions and the staff answer them. That's OK and there are hundreds of help-desk systems that you can obtain and install on your site. However, when we get right down to it, Kunena was not originally designed as a help-desk system.

In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with wanting to use Kunena this way but it's not really suitable in its current form. If enough people really want this functionality and are willing to sponsor it then it's possible that Kunena could be transformed into this kind of "help-desk" vehicle. That's about all I can say on your idea at this time; perhaps others would like to offer their opinions, too.

Can someone tell me if it is possible to have multiple 'chat areas / rooms etc' that are private for certain users only?
