Question User Groups, User Group Privileges, ACLs

Hi,

here is usefull doc docs.kunena.com/index.php/Forum_Setup%2C...s_for_special_Groups

In forum Public Access Level in the backend, though it's possible to have forums visible to certain groups, can you go further by limiting it based on Jomsocial user points or forum rankings? It's too easy for someone to view the assigned forum just by registering. The point system will make them participate in order to view an assigned forum.

forum = category

We don't talk about "forum" any more.

I think this idea has been discussed many, many times. It's not scheduled for implementation in K 1.6.

yeah i know its not planned anytime soon, but would be a super cool feature to have

I have a site where we review and post news about software.

We use the forums for discussion on the topics, to not clutter up the Joomla front end.

What we need is an option for:

Moderators/Administrators - Create and post in threads

Members - NOT able to create threads in some sections, but able to post in those said threads

Hope this is possible!

please next time use the search button as this has been disgussed many times before.

J1.5.15 and K1.5x do not yet support ACLs ( access control lists ) and that is what you are going to need for what you are trying to do but in J1.6 and K2.0 (long way off) ACLs will be added so that restrictions can be better added to who can see and access each catagory of the forum.
