Thread

1. I am working on creating a forum based website. Within one website, is it possible to have multiple (over 50) individual complete forums?

2. In essence, I want one user to be able to go to the website, and see specific (complete) forums. Can I have a user have given access to certain forums? I mean, I want them to be able to see all forums, but have quick links to designated forums that they entered on a form?

3. Can you have a user status? If I go to one forum, I want a user to see who else is online and specifically looking at that forum.

Please let me know if this is possible. If you have any questions about what I am asking, please let me know.

Thank you very much.

I can answer #1 for you. And the answer is yes.
All individual forums (called “boards” in EE) are separate. Not sure if you can create different url’s (read: domain) for each of them.

Thank you for your quick response.

What I would need is to have one complete forum at example.com/a/b/c another one at example.com/a/b/d etc.

Each forum would have to have the qualities of one COMPLETE forum, just like http://ellislab.com/forums

Also, can I customize titles and create new subforums with most recent replies etc?

What about my other 2 questions?

Thank you!

Anyone?

Please see my previous posts.

Let me know if this is even possible with EE.

I think it will be difficult to do what you want - you can have as many separate forum “rooms” as you like, and they can even be grouped, but I think the membership is common across all of them. You would therefore see who is logged into ANY of the forums.

It might be possible to do what you want with multisite manager- using different URLS. Ask the sale team in the sales thread.

Thank you very much for responding quickly!

Can you move this thread to the sales thread?

Thanks!
