I would like to have a check box 'checked' by default to make post private. Can you please help me with that?
Hi there,

Can you download the file below and replace in the file below:
JoomlaFolder\components\com_easydiscuss\themes\wireframe\ask\default.php
and see how it goes?

You're suggested to backup the file that you want to replace beforehand for precaution

thank you very much.
I assume that there is no solution to have private box checked by categories?
For us it is very important to be able to default selection either for ticket support or unchecked just for member discussions. Users usually leaving this box unchanged by default.

Hi there,

Unfortunately, there is no setting for that currently

Having said that, if you require us to perform the customization for you, you can always request for a quote from us at https://crm.stackideas.com and select "Customizations" . Our sales person would be glad to send you a quote for the customizations that you have requested.

Thanks for understanding

I'd like to see such an option.....
@Assocyate Software would you like to share the costs for the customization? Maybe more people are interested in this (additional) functionality.

I have just requested a quote for this:

Hi there,

Could you tell me the costs for adding this feature to ED

1. Make it possible to tick the private box per category as default (user still has the option to uncheck when posting)
2. Make it possible to force all posts in a specific category to be private (user cannot change)

currently, the post is always NOT private and the user has the option to check the private box

This would make it possible to use some categories as open discussion forums and others for 1-1 conversations/tickets with users.

Thanks

Edit: My bad, just found out it was part of the category options. thanks for this!

Hello,

I wish I could enable private posting as default too.
Has this feature been added to the core or only been part of a customization?

Thank you.
