XF 2.3 group permissions

[scotty921]

Currently trying to setup a category as a subscriber only, I have already created the subscriber group. can i assign the new subscriber group to something that was made as registered user only? having a heck of a time trying to figure it out. thanks for any help.

Someone was helping me before but have no clue who it was.

Your supergroups should be setup so that everyone is in Registerd group as primary. Other usergroups, e.g. for subscribers, should always be secondary groups so that registered remains for everyone as primary. The XenForo permissions system is based on this. It means the only permission settings you touch in any secondary group is purely for specific permissions that are different for that group.

Will that work for the existing registered user for the the same category ? do i need to add subscriber to the the current registered users?

Got it, thank you. couldn't find it earlier.

I'm not sure what you mean by existing registered user for the same category.

If subscriber is a user group, then yes you just add it asa secondary group. Bothe the user promotions (based on criteria) and upgrades (based on payment) work exactly like this.

Sorry last question, can I apply the "Subscriber only" group to an existing category that's over a year old ?

 

[scotty921]

I'm a much better learner understander after seeing it done. would it be possible for you to actually do these for me and I could reimburse you for your time? Think you can do this in about 30 seconds.

dailynumbersclub.com is my site.

There is a problem because I don't exactly understand what you want done as I'm not sure what you mean by category in this case

 

[scotty921]

If you look at my site dailynumbersclub.com, you will see there are some you can see as a non-registered and then there is my main one that you have to be a registered member for access. That's part is great for now.

What I want to do is setup the main one that says "all previous Florida games". that's
the one I want to make a subscription for.

Those are previous drawings over the past few years.

I will be creating another category later that are daily drawings but after I post the new next day, I will take the previous ones and move them to the "all previous Florida games".

Not sure how to setup the permissions, I use to but forgot how to do it.

Do i need a separate group for "subscription" only ?

 

[scotty921]

Actually, If you know how to setup the permissions well. Maybe you could go through them to make sure I'm doing the right things. although, haven't had any issues yet.

 

[Mr Lucky]

If I'm understanding correctly, you are talking about node permissions?

So for a node (and its children) whose content is viewable by registered users, set node permissions for that node

Registered group > View thread content= yes (and other permissions e.g. post, reply...)

For node whose content is only viewable by subscribers, set node permissions:

For registered > View thread content = no

for subscribers > View thread content = yes (and other permissions e.g. post, reply...)

 

[scotty921]

Sounds like you got it, lol. I currently have the forums setup the way I want it now but again the permissions are lost on me and forgot how to do it.

 

[scotty921]

I just want the one section to be subscription only viewable. I want people to see that it's there but when they click on a forum it will say must be a subscriber.

 

[scotty921]

I do have some that are viewable as unregistered, those are fine.

The one that says "Florida daily games" will be registered users only.

The one that says "all previous Florida games" should be the subscriber/registered only.

Would subscriber also pertain to the registered users also?

I still want the registered users to have access to everything but if they don't become a subscriber then they can't view that section, right?
