Hi guys

Is there a way of restricting posting access to WEC discussion forum to a specific FE user group rather than particular FE users?

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,

No, you can only currently restrict by user. This follows the blog capabilities. However, that seems like a good idea -- what would you use it for?

Hi Dave

Thanks for the quick reply. I am currently running multiple sites on the same Typo3 installation. One for the main church site, one for the younger youth and currently setting one for the older teenagers. I use the discussion forum as a blog on all of them (btw I find that by adding multiple system folders to the main church one it automatically slots in youth blogs - great!) but I restrict posting access to being logged in.

I have chosen to store all users in one folder so that the young people can use their youth site login on the main site. However for child protection reasons when one of the youth registers from their site I have checked admin approval and they get allocated to a different registration group automatically on accepting. My problem is I have no way of preventing church users (currenly not being approved) from posting on the youth blogs, as I do for the chc-forum, photo commenting etc. My only way of doing it currently is creating 3 instances on the same page, one visible to not logged in, another when logged in in a different group and one when logged in as a youth member. A bit of a messy work round.

I would be equally happy if I were able to restrict login to certain frontend user groups on certain sites but I'm not sure if this is possible.

Every blessing,
Mark

Hi Dave
I've just coded a quick workround for now including group.xx in the list will check for belonging to that group for posting. I've also added an image marker to the preview code, as well as linking to original image from the thumbnail. My code is probably messy and not of interest to you (although you're welcome to it ) however I thought I'd let you know as if I find these things useful others might, and it may be worth considering them in future versions.
God Bless,
Mark
