Hi,
On my site i have multiple item categories. The users will be allowed to add items from front end to only one of the categories but they can comment on posts to all the other categories too.

I am not sure how to do this. I can think of creating multiple user groups, but how do i assign the users to multiple user groups.

Thanks

The same question:
Is it possible to allow the user to add items in some categories withal - to save his rights to comment in all other categories.

I realy need your answer

if users could be in multiple groups..k2 would be awesome..

Have you tried setting up different groups for each category and then checked to see if they can comment in the other categories?  I could be wrong, but I think that should work.

If not, the easiest way I can think of would be to setup different author groups for each category. Then you would have to modify the item.php to allow any registered user to comment regardless of which category they can post to.

As default, all users have read access and comment access (this can be controlled by k2 parameters.

You cant assign users in multiple user groups.

But you can create a user group which provide comment and post permissions and assign selected users to it.

 

It something I have wanted to do myself but never found a definite solution.

I've used JUGA to give users access to multiple groups, then I created some code to find out what groups a user is in an add that to an array to be used as a variable within the k2 templates.

If you think it's useful let me know and I'll post how I did it but only if it sounds like people are keen
