Flagging new discussions as private

DamienElsing

I'm using Vanilla to create a support forum for a software product.

I'd like to give users the option to mark a new question/discussion as private, so that only the admins can see and respond to the issue. By default new discussions would be public though.

Is this possible and how would one go about it?

Here ya' go: https://github.com/vanillaforums/Addons/blob/master/plugins/SupportTracker

That's great - thanks. Which file do I add that code to?

I developed a plugin that does exactly what asked, but on a Category basis. Nice to know that Lincoln did something similar, it means that I was not off the mark.

• Copy the contents of that file into an empty file called class.supporttracker.plugin.php.
• Place class.supporttracker.plugin.php in a folder called SupportTracker
• Upload that folder to your /plugins directory
• Enable the plugin called Support Tracker in your Vanilla Dashboard
• ???
• Profit!

Perfect - thanks a lot.
