Multi-category Setup

Hello,

Below are few questions on the multi-category feature:

1) How to limit the number of Categories a member can choose and post to? (Eg.: 3 categories only.) With the current setting a member can choose any number of categories.

2) How to limit the number of Categories a member can choose based on his/her membership level? Eg.: Standard: 2 Categories. Premium: 3 Categories. Gold: 5 Categories.

3) How to remove/disable the "Create Own Category" button when submitting/posting something? I don't want members to suggest or create a category, but rather use the ones already created by the Site Admin.

Thanks

    • Any help?

      • In v12 there are two different category fields to choose from or use both. Category and Categories. They are in studio-forms-post-add post and edit post blocks. Enable the one with the desired results or both.

        • Thanks but I am afraid you didn't understand my questions.

          • Please, can someone help on this? How to remove/disable the "Create Own Category" button when submitting/posting something (in Videos, Posts, Orgnaizations Apps)? and How to limit the number of Categories a member can choose and post to? Thanks

            • Hi @OneEagle 🖐, did you find answers to these issues please? I think that I also have some problem with discussion categories and I thought that maybe you could help me (one last time🤗) please 🙏 :

              in the new discussion, there is an option to add own category, but when I fill it while creating new discussion, it doesn't show at all (I can only see it in Studio-Forms-categories but nowhere else on the site). I don't know what I do wrong 😭... Thank you in advance

              • Hello @Ekena !

                The request from the previous suggestion about "to disable the add button in users categories" looks strange because in this case is simpler to use default categories editable by admin. Your other question has been answered in another thread.

                • Hello @LeonidS ! Yes, thank you for your response in the other thread 😊 In fact, what I want to do is : I want the premium users to be able to create only one category in the discussion, and they must choose only one category when they post a new discussion. I don't know if that is possible.

                  • Yes, by default it's impossible to do without the modifications.

                    • @LeonidS , not quite in the subject of the question, is it possible to set up subcategories in categories, for example, in groups? If so, what depth?

                      • Hello @Alexasha !

                        Sorry, for now, it's impossible too. You may use the hash-tags for the possible additional filter's using.
