Disable Tag Creation

I searched the forums and only found that this is an option of EasyBlog. It appears that in EasyDiscuss you can either turn tagging on or off. In ACL it only has an option to toggle the setting for "Insert tags - Determines whether the user is allowed to insert tags into their discussions."
Does that toggle tags on/off for the users or just the ability to create their own custom tags.

Ideally I would like to provide a list of tag options that they could choose from but not allow them to create their own.

Thanks!
Hello Forrestt,

That ACL option is for toggle tags on/off for the users. I'm sorry but it is not possible to restrict the users from creating their own tag.

Hi Forrestt,

Sorry for late reply to this,

Unfortunately that was not possible at this point of time, but you can manually hack for this file -> JoomlaFolder\components\com_easydiscuss\themes\simplistic\field.tags.php



// remove the code from line 47 until 57

		<?php if ( $canAddTag ) { ?>

		$( '.search-field' ).bind( 'keyup' , function( e ){

			var code = (e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : e.which);

			if( code == 13 )

			{

				var newTag = $('.search-field :input').val();

				$('.discuss-tag-select').append('<option value="'+newTag+'" selected="selected">'+newTag+'</option>');

				$('.discuss-tag-select').trigger('liszt:updated');

			}

		});

		<?php } ?>


Hope this help.
