I'm using bbpress for my online class and I would like to create a forum that only I or a moderator can post to, and the students (members) can view only.
I've seen plug-ins to make forums private, but that's not exactly what I need. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
This will affect all forums:
global $bb_roles;
$bb_roles->remove_cap('member','write_topics');
$bb_roles->remove_cap('member','write_posts');You can put it into header.php or make a real plugin ie.
members-cannot-post.php (and install into /my-plugins/)
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Members Cannot Post
*/
global $bb_roles;
$bb_roles->remove_cap('member','write_topics');
$bb_roles->remove_cap('member','write_posts');
?>I think I will make a real plugin which can control this on a per-forum basis since this seems to be a requested feature that is not too hard to handle in 0.9 Look for it in the plugin section over the next day or two.
a plugin sounds great ck. I for one would definitely benefit from it.
not so easy to implement it seems:
Fatal error: Call to a member function remove_cap() on a non-object in /var/www/vhosts/.../httpdocs/forums/my-plugins/nopost.php on line 8
I've now written a plugin to solve this problem:
http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/read-only-forums/
great plugin _ck_, thanks a bunch.
