New issue standard private

[dijke123]

Hi,

is there a possibilty that when a user makes a new issue it's set to private at all times? And only a moderator / administrator can set it to public? So you can filter what's public for everyone to see and what's not?

thanks

I don't think that's possible. While you could check the private field by default and hide it, advanced users would be able to get around that.

Thanks for the quick repy!

Can you help in how to do that?

I have more or less nitwit users that are going to create new issues that's why I would like to filter them and I don't think that they will find that option quickly.

thanks

Edit the pt_postissue template and find:

                <div style="margin-top:$stylevar[cellpadding]px" class="smallfont">
                    <label for="cb_private"><input type="checkbox" id="cb_private" name="private" value="1" tabindex="1"$private_checked />$vbphrase[private]</label>
                    <a href="faq.php?$session[sessionurl]faq=pt_faq#faq_pt_faq_private" target="_blank">[?]</a>
                </div>

Replace that with:

                <input type="hidden" name="private" value="1" />
