Forum: Edit Forum
Allows the publisher to edit existing forums. The form displays the registered forum that is intended to be changed, which has been selected for editing. Once the forum is changed, only the new published content will be displayed to the end user.
Features
- It is an administration interface
Screens
- Category (identifier) : Category related to the forum
- Name (string, required field, maximum size: 255) : Title of the forum
- Description (text) : Brief descriptive text of the forum
- Status (integer, required field, default value: 0) : Two possible statuses: “Open,” allowing message posting and topic creation; and “Blocked,” not allowing message posting (including editing and quoting messages) and topic creation for that forum.
Once a forum is “Open” and several messages have been posted, if the service administrator changes the status of the forum to “Blocked,” it will still be viewable with its topics and messages, but new topics or messages cannot be added, and the topics and messages that have already been created can only be deleted by the forum moderator.
- Moderator (user or group) : A user with the predefined permission of “Moderate” can be selected to have control over a forum. This control involves opening/blocking topics; and deleting any posted messages.
Permissions
- Administer: Allow administration of all categories, forums, topics, and messages of the service. This permission implies that the user also has permission to "Moderate" and "Post Message".
