Question Forum access

aleo

Customer
Hello, I made a forum accessible and displayed it in the store. However, I want all members to be able to see the categories of the forum that is accessible. I am currently having problems with marketing because the forum that is accessible is completely hidden. I want the forum to remain as a title, but I want them to be directed to the "forum access" product in the store when they click on it. How can I achieve this?
 
I don’t believe that’s possible, sorry.

Closest you can get is using the permission item to sell “can view threads” for that forum, and creating a notice to alert people.
 
Hello,

I couldn't find "thread access" in the store product types. Could you please describe how I can sell thread access? Also, how can I create a notice to inform users? Thanks!
 
1. Use the "Usergroup Permission" item type with the permission I mentioned in my previous post
2. admin.php?notices/add
 
In 'Usergroup Permission', there's no option to set access for a specific forum. It only provides general access permissions to all forums. To effectively sell access to a specific forum, users need a glimpse of its content. For example, they should be able to see the thread titles but be redirected to the forum access product in the store when they click on them. I understand this feature might not be currently available in your plugin, but it would be incredibly useful if added. Partially restricting access makes people curious about what's inside. This curiosity can motivate them to purchase forum access.

Of course, I can market this separately, but I also want to demonstrate the forum's activity with each new message. I live in Turkey, and people here value activity. To show that the forum is lively, you could consider making access a bit more flexible, similar to what Theme House does in its Monetize plugin. Currently, a new member can't see the forum at all, which doesn't encourage them to purchase access.
