XF 1.4 Question About Forum Settings

[Ranger375]

I'm not sure if this is doable in XF or requires an addon, so I thought I'd ask. Is there a way I can make it so that after a user signs up, they can only access or see one forum until they post in it (then the rest of the forum is available after)?

Thanks

Yes, that can be done with permissions and user group promotions.

Revoke permission for all other forums, promote to a user group which has access after 1 post.

What about visitors? Would they be able to see all forums?

Yeah, my site requires the members to post in a certain section before posting elsewhere

Thanks! How do I set the new user group as the default after registration?

Revoke the permissions for the Registered user group.

Promote to a new user group as secondary.
