hi there,

hope some one can help me. On my site i have one forum, two main topics in that forum, one for students and the other for staff members.

I just want staff members to have access to both forum topics, which are topic for students and topic for staff members, and students to have access to only students topic.

Please help....

Thanks in advance.

cheers

John....

Create a "forum"-Role with the necessary rights for creating new topics and replies. Then assign this role to the student user group limited e.g. by the subtree of the students forum. And assign the role to the staff user group limited to both subtrees (depending on your setting you probably need to assign the role to times to the staff - students and staff subtree - or assign it to the parent node of staff and students forum.

hi there,

Thats fine, I have sorted the roles and permission, it is working very fine.

Thanks very much for your kind help.

One more thing, hope someone can help in getting the functionality for forums given below. Please help.

1. Students should not see staff forum topics, only see students forum topics.

2. Staff should see both, staff forum topics and the students forum topics.

3. Public should see neither..

Please help me in suggesting roles and permissions.

Cheers

Hi,

 1. Students should not see staff forum topics, only see students forum topics.
 
 2. Staff should see both, staff forum topics and the students forum topics.
 
 3. Public should see neither..

I guess this is because anonymous role can read all in standard section. (I don't know your actual role settings.) You can assign a new section to the node including both forums or only to the forums (e.g. name it "forum"). Then - considering the anonymous role only can read the standard section - the forum role needs the additional rights to read the forum topics (something like content/read, class(Forum topic, forum reply, ...), section (forum)). The assignment to the right forums for students or stuff is just done by your limited role assignments to student and staff group.

Have a nice day

Thomas
