Better way for my users to invite others?

Here’s a contrivance. You could allow anyone to join, but have no read-only categories. People would have to be added to a group to be able to get to the Good Stuff. People would have to know to join a group to see the stuff.

You’d need to think through that, but you could assign lots of people to be group owners who’d be able to add more users.

Or just create a “please invite these people” topic, in a category that only TL2 members can see. If people post in they are TL2 by definition (or set up whatever category permissions you prefer), and staff can edit the request posts to put a :white_check_mark: next to those they invited.

Thanks for the suggestions I’ll have to talk to my partner and see what he thinks.

If anyone happens to think of any other possible solutions I’d be happy to hear them!

I am totally confused with this topic. Ignore me if I am wrong.

Anyway just now I tested invite functionality in my localhost and it is working fine with below criteria.

  1. Enabled the invite only SiteSetting
  2. Enabled the login required SiteSetting
  3. Created a new member using console
  4. Promoted the new user to TL2

Now I am able to send invitation as that new user. Even it is working while both or either one SiteSetting disabled. I can’t understand why it is not working for you. Do you have SSO enabled?


Currently only TL2 users can send invites. So no harm when we welcome friend-of-a-TL2-friend-of-a-TL2-friend-of-a-TL2-friend :slight_smile:

Dunno, the OP will need to confirm if SSO was enabled.

SSO is not enabled nor is login required.

What about enable local logins SiteSetting? It says “Enable local username and password login based accounts. (Note: this must be enabled for invites to work)”

Update: must approve users SiteSetting doing it. While it enabled staffs can send invites. But not normal users (any TL user) can’t.

Isn’t that supposed to be done through invite only AND must approve users?

It’s possible @vinothkannans is right here – must approve users.

Clearly the interaction between these settings is complex and confusing.

@vinothkannans got it sorted out for us it was the must approve users. setting.

So I guess my next question would be is it possibly to add a button in the customize html section that would open up the invite modal?

Okay let me explain when all the invites won’t work for a user.

  1. If user’s maximum invites per day is reached. (staff are immune to this limitation)
  2. If SSO enabled.
  3. If local logins are disabled.
  4. If must approve users setting enabled. (staff are immune to this limitation)
  5. If user has trust level below 2. (staff are immune to this limitation)

Questa è stata aggiornata alcune volte da allora. La formulazione attuale è…

Tutti i nuovi utenti devono essere esplicitamente invitati da utenti fidati o dallo staff. La registrazione pubblica è disabilitata.

Ho attivato questa opzione. Dove può andare un utente esistente per invitare un’altra persona? Scusa, non riesco a trovarlo.

Ho abbassato il livello di fiducia predefinito per gli invitati a 0 per i test. Ancora non lo vedo.

Gli “utenti attendibili” a cui si fa riferimento sono gli utenti che hanno raggiunto il livello di fiducia TL2 (15 giorni di presenza sul forum). Se hai già una comunità o stai cercando di avviarne una, potrebbe essere una buona idea assegnare manualmente i livelli TL2 e TL3 a pochi utenti che inviti.

(:warning: assicurati di fare clic su “Sblocca livello di fiducia” dopo una promozione manuale a TL2, per garantire che possano raggiungere TL3 in seguito!)

Ciao @shaundefense, sei riuscito a farlo? A creare un pulsante separato per mostrare la finestra modale degli inviti?

Esiste un’impostazione per questo? Voglio disabilitare la possibilità per gli utenti di invitare altri, in modo che solo lo staff possa farlo.

Abilita “è necessario approvare gli utenti” in modo che lo staff debba approvare ogni registrazione, imposta il limite di inviti a 0, oppure disabilita l’accesso tramite nome utente e password locale e richiedi un provider di autenticazione alternativo.
