Wouldn’t it be simple to hide the option “create a forum” from members so that only admins and moderators can create forums? What is the code to check? Is it is_group_admin or is_group_mod?
Thanks @mercime but I looked at those plugins and I believe they won’t work for my situation (am I missing something?)
I have a group “Sport News” with a couple of members and one administrator. I want to have the ability so that only the administrator or moderator(s) can create a new forum topic. Other members can reply to the forum topic that the administrator has started but they cannot start their own forum topics in that specific group.
I have looked at the database, it adds it to the wp_bp_groups_groupmeta table on step 2 when creating a group but as soon as you go to step 3, it deletes it.
@dwenaus – awesome plugin but I have one problem with it. When I create a new group and going from step 2 (settings) to step 3 (upload avatar) it loses the tags I have added on the first screen. The only way to add them again is to go edit the group. I’m running WP 3.0 and the latest version of BP.
I’ve added an if statement on the template page underneath get header section to check if the user is logged in and then redirect them with bp_core_redirect but it gives the error of “Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by…./pluggable.php on line 868”
I’ve replaced that with javascript redirect: window.location = “http://mydomain.com/activity” but I’m not to keen on using javascript for redirection.
Thanks for the reply Ray, I had but I have disable them all a couple of days ago.
On the modified default theme I had to edit “groupssingleforumtopic.php”
I added and if statement with is_user_logged_in() just above div post-topic-reply and now it’s displaying correctly but I’m sure that’s not the way to do it.
