Hello everyone,

I work for a firm specializing in CMS-based webpages and am currently working on extending some of the capabilities of your (Web Wiz) forum. Our customer, which will be using the forum, have requested the following requirements:
  1. Teachers must be able create classes and assign students to these.
  2. Teachers are only allowed to access classes that they themselves have created, and those assigned to them by the Forum Administrator.
  3. Students are only allowed to access their class forum(s).
  4. On special occations, multiple classes will be working together in projects, and will, be required to access a common class forum.
Legend:
Teacher = Moderator
Student = Member
Class = Group

My question for you is this:
How do I modify the forum to reflect these restrictions/permissions?

If that is not possible, then, if allowed, what is the minimum file requirement that I must copy to our CMS system in order to implement the above features there.

Regards,
Mireigi

It seems the way I read it you might want to go into the Admin Section of the forums and under the Group permissions you can adjust which permissions each group has.. of you can create another group by using the Group Admin and you can determine what permissions they have there when the group gets created...

As far as I can tell, there is currently no way to set the permissions for a group to include membership management. All of the permissions are related to forum posts, and not forum control.

I'd say you are correct Mireigi. Only administrators of the forum can provide the custom access that you need.  Perhaps there are a handful of teachers who you can give admin access to....

Jen is Right.. As the Admin will have total control of the Forum... As this is control issue.. and that the Admin will have complete control and no others.. I know that Talking with Bruce that there might be new Admin Right to moderators.. such as having control of certain sections of the forums.. might have to wait until Version 10 to have this

I found a work-around for the issue thursday or so. By editing a few lines in the file "admin_common.asp" and saving it as a "admin_common2.asp", I was able to allow moderators access to select parts of the administrative tools by changing the include file for the needed files to the one I made.

I can post the code on monday when I get back to work.

We will need Version 10 anyway though, as "topic ratings" are also needed in the system.
