Rails雷达/论坛论坛引擎-控制对某些论坛或主题的访问

Question

I'm using forem as forum engine and have it attached to my User model.

As part of my User model, I have "experts" and "novices" as the two different types of users.

If I only want to show the "expert" forum to "expert" users, what is the best way to control this access within forem?

Answer 1

You could try to modify the view under app/views/forem/forums/_forum.html.erb , enclosing all with this:

<% if forem_user.expert? %>
  ...
<% end %>

Note: if you don't have the forem views, you have to generate them with rails g forem:views .

Cheers!

EDIT:

The last version of Forem allows to redefine methods for permissions in your User model.

So, in your case, you'd define the method can_read_forem_forum?(forum) and return true if the user is expert.
