i'm using Kunena forum on my website (still working on it) and have a question:
Is it possible to change the settings from some categories like members can read whats inside the categorie but not make a new topic inside the specific topic?
if i posted this in wrong categorie excuse me then
regards,
michael
p.s. Sorry about my bad english hope you guys understand what i mean
You can lock the forum in "Forum Administration" in the backend.
Thats not what i mean.
ill explain in a better way what i mean.
i have 3 main categories in my forum.
Main categorie 1: contains categorie rules, bugs/suggestions.
Main categorie 2: contains categorie movies, wallpapers and reviews.
Main categorie 3: is a section for members.
what i want is to disable the option that members [/b]cannot[/b] make new topics in the Main categorie 2 but] they are allowed to place comments on existing topics.
and from main categorie i got 1 categorie in it where we admins only may make new topics and members only may post in it.
these options are existing in other forums named like Vbulletin and PHPbb so i hope this is also available in Kunena forum.
hope you guys know what i mean now :blush:
edit
this i mean see screenshot
Does that summarise your question?what I want is to disable the option option that members cannot make new topics in [one forum category] but they are allowed to place comments on existing topics.
[In another forum category] ... admins only may make new topics and members only may post in it.
These options are existing in other forums named like Vbulletin and PHPbb so I hope this is also available in Kunena forum
The short answer is that you can't achieve one without the other. In order to "disable the option to make new topics in one forum category" you have to do one of the following:
- Place the topics in a locked forum (like we have done here at www.kunena.com - e.g. the "solved" categories - where everyone can read the topics, but they can't reply to them either (unless you have moderator rights); or
- Establish your forum so that moderators have to review all posts.
In the second case, permitting only admins the ability to make new topics and members may only reply to them, you could achieve this across-the-board (or you could restrict the functionality) by hacking the code so that the "New Thread" button only appeared for admins/moderators.
Although other forums, like VBulletin and phpBB may have that functionality, this has not been considered a priority issue for Kunena. Perhaps it should?

Thanks for the comment

i think its a must only time may tell now :woohoo:An option in backend admin that allows the admins disable the option that members Cannot make new topics in a specific categorie where only admins/mods can make topics and that members are only allowed to post comments.
this future exists in Vbulletin and PHPbb forum i would like to see this option in Kunena forum to! i think its a must!
