Restricted category????

Hi, is there any mod or boonex think to add this feature in the next update :

make some category in video, photo, sound......   only able to put content into for specific membership level?

so by example:   the NEWS category for video... can only be used by moderator membership level

thx

no reply??   well i guess there is no way to do that... hope boonex will add this in the trac for future release

if you are Lucky it will be like that in D8 :-)

I think you can do it but that means alter the php code for the mods you use.
Maybe post it as a JOB...

well i work on a non profit organisation website that use dolphin.. so dont have a lot of money for jobs... maybe for a market mod... but anyway i think this is a feature that should be added into the core of dolphin

Oh I agree. also I think they should redo the whole structure of the category in D.

Make it lang key friendly. Now if you have other lang besides EN you have to program the sh..t out of it to make it work.

There are a couple means to a solution if you don't have money, look for free help or learn how to code.

There are no controls in place to display the list of categories based on membership.  So, this is a custom job or a do-it-yourself job.  Each category would need an extra field associated with it to hold which membership levels are allowed to use the category when creating content.  This means additional code for the admin side so that when you add a category you set which membership levels can use it; this is stored with the category.  Then you need checks when pulling the category list from the database, checking to see what the membership level is for the current member creating the content.  There are probably other things I may not have thought of but this would be a good start in planning the code changes.
