Forum Moderation

Permalink
My client wants to be able to assign moderators to one or more forums. For example, if I am able to moderate forum 1 but not forum 2 because i have not been assigned to the forum as a moderator.

They also want to be able to make discussions and topics inactive/active as a moderator.

I have had a look at the discussion forum addon but if anyone has any other ideas or if you have implemented something like this before then any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Ling

One idea might be to use this free forum add-on:

http://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/basic-forum/...

And assign permissions to the pages that it's on.

Or, you may want to wait a while - there is a new forum add-on coming soon to the marketplace that will include a moderator user attribute. To learn more about it, contact Chad:

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the mention of my addon growthcurve, but my addon really won't be ideal to do that. You definitely could use it for that if you are low on money, but it will take some additional coding and work. If you want more details pm me.
Im not sure about the discussion forums, it may be possible. I haven't played with chads.

The other possibility would be another addon I have called vanilla forums. Its free to use but support is paid for. Vanilla is a pretty powerful forum, and I think you can do that- it might be a headache managing two sites though.
