Hi,

I would like to stop users from adding events or links etc. to my site even if they are logged in - how do I do this?

By the way great software, keep up the good work!!

I am pretty sure this is done in the config file here:
Text Formatted Code

// Submission Settings

// enable (set to 1) or disable (set to 0) submission queues:
$_CONF['storysubmission'] = 1;
$_CONF['linksubmission']  = 1;
$_CONF['eventsubmission'] = 1;
$_CONF['usersubmission']  = 1;

 

You would set these to zero.

close, but no cigar Shocked
setting the above values to zero will turn the queue off, meaning that all submissions (they are still allowed) will not be moderated.
Setting the above to 1 will restrict user submissions by sending them to the queue rather than being published immediately.

It seems the best you can do is limit submissions to logged in users and then restrict those submissions via the moderation queue.
Alternatively (or in addition to) you could always delete/comment out the relevant links that lead a user to the submission pages.

I think I will take a look at the templates and see what I can do.

How would this be done to just prevent non logged in users from submitting links and such?

find this in your config.php
Text Formatted Code
// this lets you select which functions are available for registered users only
$_CONF['loginrequired'] = 0; // all of them, if set to 1 will override all else
$_CONF['submitloginrequired'] = 0;
$_CONF['commentsloginrequired'] = 0;
$_CONF['linksloginrequired'] = 0;
$_CONF['pollsloginrequired'] = 0;
$_CONF['calendarloginrequired'] = 0;
$_CONF['statsloginrequired'] = 0;
$_CONF['searchloginrequired'] = 0;
$_CONF['profileloginrequired'] = 0;
$_CONF['emailuserloginrequired'] = 0;
$_CONF['emailstoryloginrequired'] = 0;

Can I add "print a story" to that list of restrictions?

You can hide the printer icon which would have the same effect.

Please consult the documentation for a list of available options.
