Limit forum topic fields
zardosht - October 7, 2009 - 12:22
Hi all,
i am new too drupal. I just set up the forum module and it works fine. The only problem is, when the user clicks on "create new forum topic" there apear all the field that are shown for a node, e.g. menu setting, comment setting etc. I want to limit these field to only few ones, like Subject, Forum, Body,... . That is, i don't want the user to be able to set for example menu setting for a forum post.
I just tried using CCK to edit fields, but there i can add new field not removing the existing ones. Any ideas how can i solve this?
Thanks in advance

If I get you well, I think you are seeing all those options because you are logged in as administrator.
Try creating a new user and log in as that user. You will not see them.
Furthermore, under user management => Permissions, you can set what users can & cannot do.
If you want even more control, the modules http://drupal.org/project/acl and http://drupal.org/project/forum_access can given you more options.
If you want a more advanced forum, you may find http://drupal.org/project/advanced_forum more advanced as the name suggests than the default. ;)

Users do not see fieldsets for items for which they do not have permission. Login as a sample user and see what fieldsets appear-- then adjust permissions as desired.
