XF 1.0 Reply to post only by team member

[chni]

Peace,
I have a section in the forum, where you can get an answer from experts, who are also called team members.
Sometimes it happens that ordinary people react there, and this creates confusion.
Is there a way to define, that in a certain category, only team members will be able to respond?

Remove the post permission for the registered user group in that node.

Allow it for the team members user group.

If I remove the permissions for all users, only team members will be able to ask questions, which is a problem ...
I need to set that each user can open a question, and only team members can answer, I mean - only they can respond.

 

[Paul B]

Remove the post replies permission for the registered user group.



Allow it for the other one.

 

[chni]

Okay. Thanks.
Now the question is how do I define that all users will be as a group of users, and each new user will log in there automatically.
So that he does not read a case, that only old users will not be able to respond, and new ones will.

The manual will help with setting up user groups and promotions.

User groups | Manual | XenForo

XF automatically adds all members to the Registered user group as the primary, so you base everything off that.

Hello, thanks everyone.
In the end I acted like this:
I defined that all users could not respond in the same category, then I created a new group for our experts, and defined that they could respond.
My question is that.
Users complain, that they can not ask clarifying questions about the answer they received, and if they want to ask follow-up questions they have to open a new topic, which is a bit complicated.
Is there a solution to this?

There's no way around that if you have removed the post reply permission.

Can't set, that only the thread opener can respond?

XF does not have that permission built in.

It would require an add-on/custom development.

 

[chni]

Ok. Thanks. I understand...
How much should a development of such a thing cost? And who can I turn to to develop?

for now yes.
I'm supposed to upgrade it in the near future.

 

[Max Taxable]

Don't know anyone doing any developing for XF 1.0.

There's some good and fair-priced cats around here. @TickTackk comes immediately to mind. We at OzzModz/Snogs can take a look at it as well.
