Permissions on seeing titles in closed categories

vimo

Hello,

I have primary categories with some secundary categories.
Some of these secundary categories is for certain groups and blocked to see & write for general users.
The only thing is now, if you go to the general categories page i see the title of the new discussions in the closed category. You can't find/read the discussion but you see the title.

I don't want that normal users see the title in the general categories page!

I missed a setting somewhere? What i have to do?

Hi,
You’ll need to adjust the permissions on the subcategory and parent category. make sure the user group that shouldn’t see it has “view” access disabled. also check the category list or recent discussions settings — disable showing restricted posts there. after saving, clear the cache and the titles should no longer appear.

If you can make the private/secret tags primary tags it would probably be the easiest solution to the problem.

I don't think Flarum has a way to customize which discussions end up as the "last in tag" and no extensions I know of customize this behavior. The "last in tag" will always be the latest non-deleted discussion under that tag, no matter which users have access to it. If the tags are standalone, then the ability to view the tag should be the same as the ability to see the discussion, and there is no leak of information.

A quick "workaround" would be to create a local extender that modifies the tag serializer and makes it so the last discussion relationship is never returned, either for all tags or for a specific tag.

Oops, I saw that all my tags where primary.
So the private tag i made now secundary and with the permissions set correct my issue is solved.
Learned some new things today.

Thx.
