I'm trying to show replies to "assigned" moderators in the categories.

I did not add the user group here: "who can view replies in this category" because if i add here, every other users in the moderator group will be able to see the replies. I want to make an exception and show replies to the "assigned moderators".

Also, "who can moderate this category", i added the moderator group to be able to assigned moderators by the admin. However, i want to hide replies from non-assigned moderators.

How should I do this? Please help.
Hello Ningning,

Unfortunately that was not possible to configure this in current system.

But you can try this following code and see how it goes?
Open this file -> JoomlaFolder\components\com_easydiscuss\themes\simplistic\post.php


//LINE 14

$my = JFactory::getUser();



//LINE 75

			<?php if($category->canViewReplies()){ ?>

//Replace with

                       <?php if( $category->canViewReplies() && $post->assignment->assignee_id == $my->id){ ?>

Thank You

However, I'm unable to assign the discussion to more than 1 user!!! How can we remove this restriction and be allowed to assign to multiple moderators?

Since there's only "one" moderator possible, I tried changing the code to allow Super Users to view the replies irrespective of whether they are assigned or not using the code below:

<?php if( $category->canViewReplies() && DiscussHelper::isSiteAdmin( $post->category_id ) && $post->assignment->assignee_id == $my->id) { ?>


Sadly, this isn't working. I want the Super Users to be able to see the replies and not restrict only to the assigned moderators. Could you kindly help again?
