Question WCK - Write Control for Kunena

Hi Community,

I have published a new plugin for Kunena 1.7 and Joomla! 1.7 today.

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!)

Have success!

Few improvements:

1) Add Kunena detection into contructor: docs.kunena.org/index.php/Detecting_Kunena_Version

2) Menu items use view instead of func, so you should say: JRequest::getWord('func', JRequest::getWord('view'));

3) Kunena gives admin rights by using Joomla! 1.7 assets (instead of user group : Another way is to use our API (this works also in Joomla! 1.5):
4) Also moderators should also have access (this check contains also admins):
5) You should not use the same Itemid, use KunenaRoute::_('index.php?option=com_kunena', false) instead in redirects back to Kunena (it automatically uses the right Itemid).

Otherwise it looks good.

Hi Matias,

thank you for your feedback. I will include your suggestions in the next release!

Regards

Have success!

I have looked at this, and I have to say I am totally baffled. Maybe its in the translation. Perhaps you could make a youtube video explaining how to set it up?

I can see how I would set it up so one group of users can see a forum but not write to it, but then how do you set it so there are different permissions for different groups?
