[Paul B]

Brogan submitted a new resource:

This guide will explain how to create custom user fields which will enable your users to remove the featured thread blocks from the forum list, forum view and new/recent posts pages.

Once completed they will have three additional check boxes on their account/preferences page, like so:

Wouldn't it be better to include it as part of the actual addon itself?

Brogan - is there a way to add in a user group permission to hide/show these options?

 

[Paul B]

No.

These are custom user fields and are not permission controlled.

Brogan I'm interested in a similar solution for a project.

I know that this addon will only "hide" featured threads, but I'm wondering is it's possible to make visible featured threads from specific nodes based on custom fields and hide others.

 

[Paul B]

I'm not really sure what you're asking.

This guide is purely related to the featured threads add-on and provides a means for members to hide the blocks.

Anything else is outside the scope of this resource/thread.

Example:
you are in the Managers' usergroup or you insert in a profile field that your job is: Manager
I'm in the Bar Tender's usergroup or I inserted in a profile field thet my job is: Bartender

I, as a bartender, can see only some featured threads, managers others.

Do you think that can be possibile to show specific featured thread to specific user on (multiple) custom fields and/or usergroups basis?
