XF 1.5 "Joinable" Group or Forum

[Joeychgo]

Is this available on XF?

Let me explain how I use it on vB.

I have a forum just for political discussions. You have to join the Politics forum group to see the content. (this is a vb feature) -- If you don't join, you don't ever see the content.

Is something like this available for XF?

It's not possible to join user groups directly, but it can be done with a custom user field.

It would be nice to have a "subscription only" forum option....

Do you mean a paid subscription?

If so, that can be done with a user upgrade.

Remember Joe, it was done on TAZ for the Hot Seat forum.

No Brogan, just like I mentioned in my first post.

Well my first response applies then - set up a custom user field.

 

[Joeychgo]

is there a cron that updates that?

Promotions? Yes.
