the discussion plug-in - user level 0

craig_s9y · Post by **craig_s9y** » Tue Oct 25, 2005 8:35 pm

I tried level 1 for my uses and they still do not have access to the discussion plugin

Is this designed only for level 255 ?

or am i missing something in my setup of this plug-in

Do you mean setting up the plugin, or accessing the Forum?

You can open the forum by calling http://yourblog/index.php?serendipity[subpage]=forum

The setup of certain items is restricted to level 255, that is true!

I still can not get it to work

Static URL default setting:
forum

Absoulte server path to upload directory:
/var/www/mysitename//files

and trying to access with the following URL

/www/mysitename/fourm

doesn't work....?

what am I missing in the setup?

Did you call the URL I gave you, with the index.php?serendipity[subpage]=forum URL?

What's your URL, then I can look at it.

weweartights.org

I'm sorry but just not sure what you are saying the URL must contain

weweaartighs.org/forum/index.php
or
weweartights.org/index.php

if it's much longer than any of these (which I might add don't work ) then maybe a link to the forum on the blog webpage is what I'll end up using...once I get it working

thank you

Ok I've got it working and with a link from the blog page.

I see now that only the or a "Adnministrator" can start a "discussion"
It would be nice if the "Administrator" could set the discussion "open" for other user levels to start a discussion.

thank you

Hm, I think this should already be possible.

You might want to drop by the official forum plugin support forum at http://blog.linux-stats.org/...

Best regards,

I've been to that site and they sent me back here.

My experience with this plug-in thus far doesn't seem to support users other than the administrator. The administrator is the only one who can create a "new" discussion board.

Hi Craig...

I didn't understand you on the discussion in my blog, so I sent you here...

Sure, only the administrator is allowed to create a new discussion board. But every user, registered and unregistered, is allowed to start a new discussion (thread) in every board. So I still don't know, where the problem is...

Ah you answered my question.

So "only" the administrator is allowed to start a new "board"

I wanted that ability (to start a new board ) available for the registered user as well.

I doesn't see the sense behind this. There's no (normal) discussion forum software which allows his users to create a new board. Well, I don't know phpBB very well, but I think this is also not possible there.
What could be the reason to let normal registered users create their own boards??!

This would result in an absolutly chaotical structure.
