Some pre-migration questions
Quote from Dogsday on April 27, 2020, 12:51 pmHi there,
I’m looking at migrating an old forum over to Asgaros as I like the simplicity of layout and functionality. I have a couple of questions, please, that I have not been able to answer myself from the documentation
1- Usergroups.
Is there a way to automatically link user roles created within WP to usergroups in Asgaros. I’ll give an example… In a membership site running two membership levels, bronze and silver, I want to have a category/forums for silver members that is not accessible to Bronze members while silver members have access to bronze and silver category/forum. When someone signs up for a silver membership within Wordpress, I want them to automatically have access to the correct forums in Asgaros.
I think the logic of access to different categories by user group in Asgaros is possible, but I can’t see how to link these to user roles within WP.2 – Settings/Uploads
Please is it possible to limit file upload sizes to, say, 0.5 megabyte. Or, alternatively, limit the number of uploads by user/usergroup? For example, a silver member would have 50 uploads and a bronze member 25.3 – Forum appearance
There would be a couple of changes that I would want to make to the appearance, specifically..
a – I can enable/disable the links at the top of the plugin (Forum | Profile | Members |….) but I would like to add a couple more.
b – I would like the +New Topic and other action links (Reply..) to have a roll-over colour option.
c – I would like to change the default message when a non-logged in user tries to access the forum. It currently says ‘Sorry, only logged in users can access this topic.’Are these possible through the Custom CSS in ‘Appearance?
Thanks very much

Having read around the support forum a bit more, I think I can manage this requirement through extended shortcodes. So, for example…
If member=Bronze, then show [forum category="108,109"]
If member=Silver, then show [forum category="108,109,111"]
I can then use membership conditional shortcodes to display the appropriate groups.
Assistance still required on points 2 and 3.
Thanks very much

For uploads, it is possible to define a upload-filesize-limit globally for all users. Its not possible to define different values for different groups.
Links can be removed by using CSS, and you can add custom-links by using the hook as shown in the following topic:

A roll-over animation you can add by applying your custom-css-code to Forum -> Appearance -> Custom CSS.
Specific texts/strings can be changed by using the following plugin:
