eForum Questions

[rentasite]

I saw that you have created custom user fields for location and web site. Why? Elxis has already these user fields.

Gianni, why don't those 2 (elxis) fields - location and web site - show in the registration form, as my extra fields do? does this change?

See at softdisk

How we could assign a user into more than one group ?

I have some committees, and some user belong into more than one.

I have some committees, and some user belong into more than one.

First idea: You can assign the user, to a third/new separate group, that will adopt X permissions from one group, and Ψ permissions from the other group.

A user can not belong to more than one groups.
I developed a special hook for Sirigos that allows you to set board access per user and the problem was solved.

[CREATIVE Options]

Yes, I had the same idea Spyro, but for Groups I have to do with committees (greek => επιτροπές), and for that reason I can mix them up.

Datahell was my saver ! he give the idea of a hook !!

Hi Datahell,

Great release! Congrats :-)

I was created a Board with "Reply only" permission and now I can't creat new topic on this board? Notice that I was access with my admin permission

How to solve this issue?

You must assign a Moderator on that "Reply only - Board". He will be able to post topics on that board. The rest of the users can only Reply.

Oh, I know...

So an administrator or super-admin could not access this feature? could not creates new topic if not assign as Mod???

I don't like this idea anymore 

And also I have two questions need help:
 
1 - How to change forum language (where's forum language location?)
2 - How to manage announcement feature? I can't edit or delete default annoucement at "Public announcement" section?

elpvn ,

tell us your thought to make a board with read-only access.

And also I have two questions need help:
 
1 - How to change forum language (where's forum language location?)
2 - How to manage announcement feature? I can't edit or delete default annoucement at "Public announcement" section? 

1 - eForum is a component of Elxis CMS so the language changed when you have published the language module and you have boards in each language.
Url in English : http://www.your_site.com/en/eforum/
Url in Greek : http://www.your_site.com/el/eforum/
etc. . .

2. - On the url : http://www.your_site.com/eforum/cp/ there is the eForum control panel.
If you login in as administrator you can manage the announcements of eForum.

Also here is the eForum Help, in Elxis Wiki.

Just read, everything is explained.

[datahell]

Elxis super administrators are not for eForum administrators! eForum has special user groups. Someone is a forum administrator only if you have assigned that user to a eForum administrators group. So a simple registered user can be an eForum administrator or an Elxis super administrator can be just a regular eForum member.

Language files are located here:
administrator/components/com_eforum/language/

Announcements can be set/deleted from within eForum control panel in frontend area. Note that only eForum administrators can access that page. If you dont want announcements at all you can disable them in eForum configuration (from backend).

On reply-only boards only that specific board moderators and forum administrators can create new topics.

[elpvn]

Solved! Thanks all :-)
