Hey all,
I looked around in the MOD section for a while looking for these few MODs. I'm not sure which are the best/will solve my problems. Any advice?
Here's the scenario:
I work for a company that has clients such as Ford, GM, Nissan, etc and they need to be able to post, at times, very specific problems with proprietary information. Is there a way to create a forum that has access limited to only a certain customer and my company?
Here's what I was thinking:
1. Create groups for each customer.
2. Create forums for each customer.
3. Either limit the permission on the forum or container which houses the forum so that only that customer and my company can view that forum.
I would also like to apply this concept to pages where they can upload files and other companies cannot get to these pages.
*thought* I just remembed that I attempted to attach a file and was not allowed to because of extension... Is there a way to remove filtering by extension (I don't want to maintain a list of valid extensions because our software has it's own and that changes from time to time).
I thought that path_access would do the trick and I'd just have to limit paths, but inspection of the URL revealed that everything is some index.php?q= and that wouldn't be very easy to work with. If it were something like forums/$customer_name/whatever.php then it would be very simple.
