Hello,

I'm changing a site from a magazine through com_content and a community blog in easyblog, to everything through easyblog (for easier use of the community created posts), but, not everyone should be able to write into the magazine...

I though best approach would be to make magazine categories (news, articles, interviews), but I've not managed to limit these depending ou user groups (only authours should be able to write there for example), and same for some other special categories (the idea is some entities have their own blog, posted in the magazine)

I'm not sure if this is the best aproach either... :/

The site is a village portal, and the idea is to have a magazine with everything that happens or is interesting for the village, also, entities (political parties, football team, school, scouts,...) should be able to have their own blog, and some of their posts published in magazine...

What you think should be best configuration?

Notice all categories should (by default) be viewable by all audience

Regards
Select "Assigned Joomla User Groups" from the select list in your screen shot

I guess the best way for you is to setup a restricted "category" area so that users from specific user groups are allowed to post into specific categories. This would be one of the best setup I think

Thanks Mark, that's what I though but I'm not sure how to do that

I see the Privacy tab in category editing, but that is for writing or for seeing? will users be able to read articles in those categories?

Is that possible to limit the use of tags to user groups as well?

Regards

Hello Josep,

The read access in the category means that anyone in the selected user groups are allowed to view blogs from the category and write on the other hand means that the user is allowed to post into the category.

Unfortunately it's not possible to limit the tags creation based on the user groups currently.

Haha, thanks Mark, seems that sometimes when triing to simplify, don't think on those who don't meddle with buttons
