Few questions about functions
Quote from ChirpingR0se on August 29, 2019, 2:32 pmHey!
I would like to know a few things about the Plugin. (Sorry when I am inside the wrong Forum but General Discussions and Support are horrible to distinguish for me.)
First of all, I really like your plugin! I searched weeks to find a good alternative for our old forum (php-fusion). But with every Open Source forum I found, every time I found something that was disturbing. Same thing with other Wordpress Plugins.
Background FYI: It is for my P&P Group – As an example, there are Gamemasters who have to get access to everything a user posts and there are normal user who have an own section for their characters (every character forum belongs to one person, which only they and the Gamemasters can see it. When they change the character the forum will be archived).
- I definitely need a function like discussed here. At the moment there are only Usergroups for Categories available. But I need Usergroups inside each forum of a Category. It will be a mess, when I have 20 single Categories with only one forum inside around.
- I don’t know where I found this topic (github issue or inside your support forum), but did I understand it right, that there will be in future a function where I can move posts to another topic/forum?
- Pictures for each USergroup would be nice, also show them in the profile and inside a post.
- Will there be a function to export and import everything or should be there no problem, if I use a plugin like updraft?
At the moment I think about to add those functions by myself, because some of them are necessary for me. I don’t have problems with php/js/html, but maybe I am a little bit rusty with php or Wordpress plugins are confusing 😡 . Or I need more time to work one’s way into it.

Sorry for the late reply!
Points 1 & 2 are planned for a future release, but there is no time-range available for it yet.
Import/export functionality is not planned because it is possible to do this directly via the database.
Pictures for usergroups are also not planned yet but its possible to define an icon for every usergroup as you can see in this forum.

at the moment I try to implement No 1 by myself but I gonna act stupid about understanding other people’s code (and the structure of wordpress). At the moment I think it’s mostly “simple” recycling of existing code and add other database requests and updates.
When you are ready to implement No 2, will you simultaneously implement move one whole forum into another category? Or will be only the possibility to move one single post or topic into another forum/topic?
Will be there a possibility to move a topic to another forum inside another category or will it be limited only to move a post/topic inside the same category to another forum?

It is already possible to move forums to other forums/categories. The same is possible for topics. The only functionality which is missing yet is moving/splitting existing posts.
