Discourse Category Lockdown

Thanks for reporting this! I’m aware of the deprecation warning, and a fix is already in the log. I’ve been busy, but I’ll address it soon. Appreciate your patience!

FYI: it doesn’t show the icon before locked topic. I don’t know how long it has been that way, but I have a feeling it has been missing longer time.

Sure, it can be a conflict with other plugin or something — but because it is a plugin, I don’t have too much enthusiasm to start dig deeper, unless I’m sure the issue lies on my end :smirk:

I’ve just released the latest version of the plugin, which fixes the deprecation warnings and restores the missing icon.

You can check the changes here:

Thank you so much for your plugin. I believe this is one of the greatest unofficial plugins ever! I was wondering if it would be technically possible to implement a tag lockdown feature, similar to your Discourse Category Lockdown. Would that be feasible?

I wonder if it makes sense to enable the opposite behavior on this plugin in order to limit the topics only to a specific group.

That should allow us to motivate lurkers to contribute on specific areas designated for them.

Agree with this idea!

Due to school age of some members of my forum, I ask their parents to send the agreement to use childrens’ personal data during their registration and getting proper grants.

When the parent sends an email, it is converted into an a topic (for history and law purposes). The parent becomes a staged user. But to work email-in topics the category must be accessible to anyone. Currently it is too open, not suitable for my case. Limitation only for staged users (if it possible to use it as an automatic group) might solve the problem.
