/admin/settings/navigation Question

[Chaotico]

Hey again

Quick question about the custom navigation buttons,, I want to add a category to the button rather than a board,, Possible?


Boring long reason:

SPOILER: Click to show

I want to make a "Club" category with lots of sub-boards for each club..

all permissions are set so only "staff" and "~Name of group~" can view/post/access exc the sub-board

but I don't want the category "Club" to show to ANYONE... instead I want them to use a navigation button at the top of the forum..

So I set the category "Club" to hidden and made a navigation button linking to the sub-board

for "TEST CLUB" this has been a sucsess as iv used "/board/31/test-club-board" as a direct


But I need to moderate the boards, so I decided to make a navigation button leading to the category rather than boards (too many buttons ya see)

well, it doesnt work, to link to a Category the url gives me "/#category-12" and It just does nothing! (as it puts me onto the home page)

Any Ideas? I tried setting it to "staff" only,, but "Test Club" couldnt access their board even using /board/31/test-club-board


I'm soo sorry you have just has to read this!

Hi,

It wouldn't be possible to link to a category in the manner you're asking about. A category link will always direct you to the category on the main page of the forum.

What you could do is make the link to a board (in the hidden category), and then just have sub-boards for all your groups, then arrange the permissions so that only the members in the specific member groups can see that sub-board.

Thanks for the reply

Can I ask a Future Request...

For Categories permissions can we have both "Who can access this Category" and "who can View this Category" options...

Thanks

I've labeled this as a feature request.
