I would like Files and Discussion topics only performed by Administrators

By Mike B 94 days ago

I am using Elgg to host personal studies for our church. Is there a way not to allow the standard user to upload files or create a discussion topic?

1 - Download My plugin (Currently only available for Elgg 5, but I will release a version for Elgg 6 in a few hours.)
2 - Open \my_plugin\elgg-plugin.php and after
'bootstrap' => \MyPlugin\Bootstrap::class, // for more options
add this section:
'actions' => [ 'discussion/save' => [ 'access' => 'admin', ], 'file/upload' => [ 'access' => 'admin', ], ],
3 - Save this file.

4 - Upload \my_plugin folder to /mod directory on your server.

5 - Go to /admin Dashboard -> Plugins; place 'My plugin' at the bottom (by default it should be there) and activate it.

Now only admins can create a discussion and upload a file on your site.
