Multiple Forums in One Question
Hi,
So I was wanting to create the multiple forums in one via this topic https://help.forumotion.com/t21989-multi-forums-in-one
However I'm curious to find out what would happen if I restricted say one out of the four forums. What I mean is via the permissions page, I disallow a group to view one of the four forums, what would it look like to someone viewing it?
Would it just be a gap or would the forum stretch out?
I'm in the pre stages of working out a forum and am curious to see how this might work out before I actually attempt this myself.

Re: Multiple Forums in One Question
You need to modify the permisions of your forum whick is in that multiple forum , for example you had :
http://www.help.forumotion.com/f1-dra who contains all the sub forums , you need to chance only the
http://www.help.forumotion.com/f2-drap this is a example where is the first / last or whatevere subforum from your forum.

Thanks, however
I'm aware of how to modify the permissions for each forum but I wondering what the overall outlook would be for someone who can only see 3 out of four 4 of the sections while its a multi forum, like what would they see because one forum would be missing to them.

The only way to really know is to create it and then test it with a test account.

That option did cross my mind but I generally wanted to avoid that as its quite a pain creating the multiple forums in one with all the coding. So I thought I'd ask first and see if anyone knew.
I'll test this hopefully tomorrow and update. I'm very curious now to see how this will work
EDIT: If anyone does have the answer and feels like sharing it between now and tomorrow then please feel free to do so It'll save me testing it

Re: Multiple Forums in One Question
Interestingly enough it would appear the coding bypasses the permissions set with each individual forum. So I guess unless you hid all of the forums at once you're still going to be able to view them.
So for example say I set 3 forums for guests and members to view and I set one forum for only members, guests can still view all 4.
This topic is now solved.
