allow only paying members to read the posts

thanks,

Hi

I am looking for this feature as well.

Please let me know if you have found a solution

Thank

It is a Membership Level Action that needs to be set.

Admin Dashboard -> Settings -> Membership Levels: Chose the appropriate Level and only permit that Level the Orca Forum Actions.

All Membership Levels have Membership Actions. Setting the Actions ensure proper Moderation of Membership Levels :)

You can do this in admin -> Membership levels -> Paying member -> use Orca * forums will allow you to set whether or not they can post. However, I don't see a setting for View Forum/Orca

Did you try setting the forum topics to private and only allow paying members to use private forums?

admin -> Membership levels -> Paying member -> use Orca private forums (Make sure this is removed from other member levels)

Not sure if it will work for what you want, but a member without permission to private forums will not be granted access.

I did not fully test this let me know if it works.

Basically what I want is non-members to get a message asking them to log in as soon as they click forum.

At the moment non-members are able to browse the forum but not post anything.

I dont want them to browse, however I do want search engines, search results page to show results to non-members but thats it, if they click on a search result they will get the log in screen/message

Thank

You could remove the link from guest in Dashboard -> Builders _> Navigation Menu Builder

Click on forums and look for visible for. By removing Guest, they will not have the ability to navigation to the forum via the navigation menu.

but they still will have access if they clicked on a link directly to a post....

I was thinking of maybe putting a conditional statement on the forum pages.

if (UserIsLoggedIn == 'true')

{

// continue loading the page

}

else

{

//redirect to login page

}

But I absolutly new to boonex and the documentation is not very helpful, so I don't know how it all works together

If anyone can help that would be great I need to do a similar thing on other sections of the site

Set non-member ACTIONS. Basically don't allow them to post in the FORUM or the ORCA PRivate and Public Forums, then they will get the message :)
