Good afternoon. I have a Buy/Sell/Trade category on my site that I’d like to restrict posting in until a member “likes” the rules topic. I asked the AI Bot, and it did give me some instructions. However, it seems that it requires Discourse Automation that is only available on hosted plans. Is there…

Just in case anyone else is interested in doing this, here is a short writeup of what I did: First, you need to enable Badge SQL through your Discourse server’s CLI: ./launcher enter app rails c SiteSetting.enable_badge_sql = true Next, find the ID of the topic that you want the members to inte…

[Bild] R23D_Printing: Is there a way that I can do this on my self-hosted platform? Hi, it is actually bundled with the community edition for free. You can enable it in the Plugins tab.

Nevermind. I figured out that I can add the Discord Automation plugin manually…

Hmm, perhaps with Discourse Policy and group permissions? add-users-to-group: accepts a single group as input; users who accept the policy will be automatically added into this group (when policy is manually revoked or if the policy version is updated, user(s) gets removed from group)

I figured it out (with the help of ask.discourse.org ). I had to enable badge sql and then create a badge that is assigned when someone likes the specific post. I then created a group that Discord Automation auto assigns based on a user having the badge. I have the “everyone” group only read access …

Nice – thanks for sharing the details! Now you get to mark your post as your solution. :grin:

I’m going to do a little write up on exactly what I did when I get home, just in case someone else wants to know. Then I’ll mark that as the solution.

An alternative solution was suggested in the topic for the private topics plugin. I am moving that here.

Thanks for this plugin! I was looking for a way to provide a basic ticketing system in our community. I’m also thinking of using this in my Buy/Sell/Trade category. Right now I have it set where everyone can read topics, but only people in a specific group can reply and create. The current workflow…

[Bild] R23D_Printing: Then, once they like and are added to the group, everything opens for them? That is not what this plugin was meant to do. Your use case can be implemented without this plugin, using the Discourse Policy plugin instead, which has the ability to add users who accepted the…

I looked at the Policy plugin before I started down the rabbit hole of the way I ended up assigning the group membership. The reason I don’t like the Policy for this is because it has to be applied to a group. I would have to apply it to something like trust_level_1 to make sure everyone that wants …
