How I can do Cross-category post

Hello All,

I would like to discuss a use case here, much appreciate your help

My current setup:
two categories:

  1. Finance
  2. Marketing

Two types of users :

  1. Finance
  2. Marketing

currently,
finance user can start or see topics from finance category and
marketing user can start or see topics from marketing category only.

new user case
But now I want to make some changes in permission to support. that if marketing user wishes to post a topic in the finance category, then they should be allowed, but they only can see topics from marketing category and topic started by him/her in finance category.

As, I feel this is something related to hacking of permission I am posting this in dev category.

Please help how can I achieve this?

Thanks,

That’s not going to be easily possible. Permissions are at the category level, not the topic level. They can either see the Finance category or not. They can’t see just their posts in the Finance category.

The only way to have topic-level permissions is to use PMs.

Thanks for your quick reply @pfaffman,

I have another though to achieve this. what if I will clone that topic from one category to another and when someone reply to that cloned topic that I will clone that post to original Topic.

I have gone through the rest apis. and I think I can achieve this using rest api. but of course I may not be able to attached username who has replied on those topic.

so, apart from RestAPIs is there any configuration available in discourse it self or any plug-in that can help me to do so.

크로스 카테고리 토픽 게시글에 대한 해결책을 작성했으며, 언급한 대로 동일한 해결책을 구현했습니다. 웹훅을 사용하여 내가 생성한 게시글을 복제하기 위해 토픽과 그 답글을 복제했으며, 봇 사용자를 활용했습니다.

흥미롭네요. 코드 공유해 주실 수 있을까요?
즉, 유일한 문제는 재무 쪽 사용자가 마케팅 쪽에서 누가 입력 중인지 볼 수 없고, 그 반대도 마찬가지라는 거죠?

네, 그렇지만 이를 위해 이 답글이 사용자에게 게시되었음을 식별할 수 있도록 접미사를 추가했습니다.
