Clubs - permissions

[HCICT]

Hello,

We like to introduce clubs to our forum.

But we notes some difficulties by making it exactly right for our community.

first we like to put it on the front page, to make it more visible for the customer. There is a lovely plugin to do this:

https://invisioncommunity.com/files/file/8924-clubs-card-on-forums-index/

Now second we like to see a “add topic” button on the main page of a club. This makes it easier/motivate for people to start a topic. Would this be hard to make? (Custom job)

Third we want to be able to force all clubs to be public or open. (Prevent close & private) Is there any setting, plugin already doing this? Otherwise would it be hard to make? (Custom job)

Thanks.

There is a stock option for that:

Show Club Content Areas: Throughout the community

Now second we like to see a “add topic” button on the main page of a club.

You can achieve that by making a topics tab the main tab of the club.

That’s a member group setting.

This will show FORUMS, not cards.

Sure. The request was to put “it” on the front page and that’s what I answered. I didn’t say anything about how that looks.

@HCICT I would recommend not to use the setting the Show Club Content Areas: Throughout the community if you have a large number of forums in clubs. It is a resource killer: it will add all forums you have permission to view on index so if you have 100 forums in clubs, it will show 100 forums on index + what you already have. There are some topics about it. Here is one of them:

 

Btw, not saying that to sell my resource, no. Just make a search and you will see.

Can this be a default setting or do i need to set this everytime when i create a group?

@Adriano Faria thanks for the tip! 🙂

It can’t be a default, since clubs don’t necessarily have topics.
