Merged User Groups, User Group Privileges, ACLs

New Plugin for the component Kunena online: WCK - Write Control for Kunena

Joomla! version: 1.7
Kunena version: 1.7.1

With this plugin you can set write permissions individually for certain categories without affecting their visibility. Like this you can assign read rights to all visitors, but give only certain groups of users write access.

Setting the write access is necessary in some cases. For example if you have a group of subscribers and want to give them write access and you would like to show the entries for everybody.

Project page: joomla-extensions.kubik-rubik.de/wck-write-control-for-kunena (Sorry, site not translated yet. English files are included in the plugin package!)

My registered users are in 2 Joomla usergroups:
1. Limited member
2. Full member

Please advice hoe can I setup forum permissions in the way that both usergroups can view forums, but only "Full members" can post?

I have explored wiki but seems Kunena can't separate these permissions essential for any forum?!

G'day, Denitz, and welcome to Kunena.

I'm sorry, but there is no separate view vs. post permissibility in K 1.7 (see msg #243 in this topic). This is an activity being looked at with the K 2.0 project.

You may, however, be interested in the work of Kubik-Rubik whose message appears before yours (msg #288).

Good day to all!

Faced with this problem:

Needs to be done so that would be in the main section, registered users do not have access to create topics and reply to existing ones could.
The main section contains important information categories, with appropriate themes, created by the administrator and users of the new topics they are not needed. To do this, you have other partitions.
In the remaining sections, users could create, respectively, and topics and reply to them freely.

In the setting of Kunena, you can, or block completely, or just close, but then also respond to existing topics, users can not.

Tell me please what to do? I may have missed something? With Kunenoy recently read and really do not want to install something else.

Sorry for my English, I use google translator!

G'day, Aidens, and thank you for your interesting question which has been asked many times before (see msg #265 ). You cannot do everything that you you want to do in Kunena at this time. You will be able to do what you want to do in Kunena in a future release. I am sorry but I cannot tell you when this future release will be available.

There is currently no way in Kunena for certain users to be able to create topics and, only after the topics have been created, that others can reply. As a general rule in Kunena, if you can reply to one topic then you can create other topics, too; if you can create topics then you can usually reply to any topic.

How do I restrict new posts to a certain user group but allow everyone read only access?

I don't understand the question: restrict (how?) but still allow read access ... :dry: ?

Via user groups, built in Joomla 1.7 ACL.

I still do not understand your question. Is your question like one of the ones asked before in this topic (see msg #265 )?

User Group 1 are the only users that can start new topics in Kunena. All posts/categories are public for read access. Is this possible?
