prefix - do not allow reply

[-Eric-]

If "Do not allow replying" is enabled in the prefix, then the topic will not accept replies, accepting to react.

Extremely useful when you want to publish tips, information, etc... this way you avoid asking different questions in the same topic, where the correct thing is for each member to create the topic with the question.

Without this, the options are:

• create a node (read-only) for each related node
• create a general node (read-only) for the category

I don't consider good alternatives.

To alleviate this negative effect, I would like to have a different color in the prefix description, topic.

Simply un-selecting the check box works just as easy.

Set thread status Unlocked

No one needs to block and unblock.
The node is for everyone to post questions and tips, etc.

My suggestion is on the thread locked unlocked

My suggestion is on the thread locked unlocked

That's what the suggestion is about, but look at the context.
No one will do this manually.

Just use node permissions.



No action is required then.

 

[-Eric-]

Just use node permissions.

As described, it is not a good alternative when the category has several nodes.
With this new functionality, the same Questions node can be better used and organized.
Creating a node (without an answer) for each Question node has multiple disadvantages.

when the category has several nodes.

Set the permission at the category level.

 

[-Eric-]

Set the permission at the category level.

The same Node is for Questions and Tips topics, the only way I can think of is to be controlled by the prefix.

This way, categories and nodes are organized and practical for members.

Prefixes are not designed to lock threads for replies.

It is unlikely to be implemented so you should consider using the existing functionality which has been designed for that very purpose.

Prefixes are not designed to lock thread for replies.

That's what suggestions are for. Everything posted in this section is because something wasn't designed, anything can be improved.

Our experience and needs are what motivate the transformations.
