Merged User Groups, User Group Privileges, ACLs

*** Topics merged ***

G'day, froggie81, and welcome to Kunena.

The first part of your question has been here asked before. This topic will provide you with the answers to your question.

I understand the term sub-Categories but I'm sorry, I do not understand the term sub-topic. Perhaps you could explain what you mean by "sub-topic".

The short answer to your question is that, you can set categories subject to posts not being displayed on the forum until they have been reviewed and approved for publication by a forum moderator. See Sections, Categories, sub-Categories (Part 1)

What I mean By Sub Topic Is that, my client wants a FIXED 4 level 'FIXED' tree as far as subjectmayyetgoes , I did tell him I would ask about a 4th Level. Ex: Category HOUSE Forum DOORS TOPIC Doorknobs SUB-Topic Brass Door Knobs. I told him all boards I have seen do not to this level of granularity but that I would try and find out. The additional requirement being that the above list can not be altered by front end registered users. They can only have conversations in Brass Door Knobs for example. I realize this is unreasonable in nature, but had to ask.

I really want to use a board or perhaps a QUORA knock off that does integrates with Joomla, if there is such a thing. Even if there was I think QUORA is a different animal altogether and a forum is what the clients wants.

Checked out part one ..... beautiful and thanks again. AWESOME COMMUNITY HERE. I hope to be able to help others some day as you are helping me once I learn enough about this excellent software.

Peace,
Frank

What a great community! Got my last question answered quickly! I have one more.

Is there a way to prevent users from posting new topics in a specific category, but allow them to post replies to existing topics in that category?

dirtypeach: I'm pleased that we were able to help you last time but you're going to be a little disappointed this time around.

Your question has been here asked before. At this time, in K 1.7.2, it is not yet possible in K 1.7.2 for you to be able to do this. However, I understand that someone has written a plugin that may help called WCK - Write Control for Kunena but I do not know anything about it and I'm not sure how well it does what you're trying to achieve.

Hello,

We are in the process of setting up a new community web site.

We are looking at using Kunena after successful implementation on previous sites however...

Does Kunena have the ability to have different user groups and the ability to give them different permissions? Specifically we want to be able to give one group of users the permission to post links in their forum signatures but prevent this with other users. Is this possible?

If it is not, does anyone know of a forum for Joomla that allows this?

Many thanks


James

We are planning many features to K2.0+ and improving ACL is one of them (but not fully done yet). So at the moment it's not possible.

hey there,

i.e. i got a forum look like this:

- A

- B

- C


i want in A and B that guests can read, but not post or make new threads. but in C they shall be able to make new threads and to write posts. how can i make this possible?

Hi,

I would like to create a partially locked forum category. For example,

Registered users and higher access levels can "view" the forum
Authors and higher access levels can "post" to the forum
Other users are specified as moderators who approve the posts

Is this possible?

Thanks,
Annabel
