Hey there! We have a closed (login required) discourse instance but would like to make some topics accessible (read-only) by link for non registered users (just as it would look like for open discourse instances). Is there some way to achieve this?

[이미지] thomas_xr: I don’t see how to change those permissions for a category on a discourse instance with “login required” setting in a way to make topics inside it visible to the non registered public. When I site is set to ‘login required’, there is no way to allow non-registered users to se…

I’m looking for something very similar: the hability to keep visible only some sticked posts in a closed section.

Edit category permissions as necessary to make this happen. Visit the category, then press the edit button at upper right, then select the security tab.

I’m sorry but I don’t see how to change those permissions for a category on a discourse instance with “login required” setting in a way to make topics inside it visible to the non registered public. Could you please elaborate? As far as I can see any link to any topic on a “login required” discour…

Thanks Simon. Discourse can only show pinned items to all users from a “only registered” category? I try to do it and I couldn’t but I’m new. Maybe the option is right there and I don’t see it.

[이미지] satonotdead: Discourse can only show pinned items to all users from a “only registered” category? This cannot be done on Discourse. Topics in protected categories cannot be seen at all by users who do not have access to the category. The only way I know of to get around this is to pull …

Well I want to show the welcome and rules messages for this category in order to motivates users to take care about their habits (just keep civilized discussion and gain trust levels). It’s a feature that I use a long time ago in VBulletin. I’ll try to manage it from Discourse API but at the moment…

@satonotdead (replied to wrong person) I am not 100% sure if this would work. But I think @codinghorror might mean something like this. Change site permission to not require Login. A category you want viewable from outside set security to Everyone See. For all other Categories set Security to: …

[이미지] Heliosurge: Trust Level 0 See/create/Reply. - Note 1 Repeat for Trust Level 1 to 4 Is the second step necessary? I thought higher TL have access to anything lower TL have access to.

Probably not. But haven’t used Trust Levels myself in Category settings. So your probably correct that only a min level needed to be set for full access to a category. But may need to set 2. Ie Trust Level 0 - See Trust Level 1 - See/create/reply

Thanks for your follow up Heliosurge but I want to hide the other posts and only keep one visible. The purpose is: “that’s the trust 3 forum, if you want to join, you need to contribute and keep civilized”. I think that keeping it visible could be motivational, including post count but not the cont…
