How to allow view discussions(only some catagories) only for members?

peregrine

this would be the perfect plugin for a beginner to write and learn from. look at a few other plugins that deal with comments and discussions...

something along the lines of ....

for the events that display discussions and comments.
add some code to check for category

then 

 $Session = Gdn::Session();
 if (!($Session->IsValid())) {
$Sender->EventArguments['Object']->FormatBody = "";

via the checkboxes in roles and permissions AND/OR via Categories - custom category permissions.

Thanks @peregrine. It great.

But what I want is, I need to display the title. I need to lock only content for non logged users. Is it possible?

peregrine

you could make a plugin or alter premhide plugin.

just change the format body to a null string. if session is invalid.

probably not too terribly difficult.

If you go this route or use the premhide plugin.

Be aware that the rss feeds are not blocked. So you may think you are blocking content for certain roles with either the above code or using the premhide plugin, the rssfeed will have the info in the clear.

you would need to override or check role in this view as well to stop the rss feeds for the discussions
