Setup issues
By: Steven Williams Date: March 12, 2025, 5:51 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Due to lack of knowledge and time restraints was wounder if I
could pay someone to setup the forum layout and requirements. I
am able to make a list of what I want and expect from forums
along with screen shots.
If some of the things I want require add-ons and fees that's
fine to.

Depends on what is needed but list them and we can see what is
possible.

Will work on the header and colors. Are you happy with the old
theme style as the base versus what we have on this forum?
I might suggest the ultimate plan since that unlocks everything
and makes the site ad free.
You can also place your own ads/charge ads. This me better later
on.
Add images 600X350 with in the post (part of blog)
This will need to be described more where is this going? We can
setup a homepage/side panels/blocks on the site using ezportal
found in the admin area.
Notes:
Store removed
Add Links:
The editor does allow you to insert links in posts.
Add HTML code ( Video ) YouTube / Live stream:
The system auto embeds about 100 different media sites. No html
code needed so you can post the link into a topic
like hxxps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLQ_nR17m6E
HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLQ_nR17m6E
And will auto embed
Drag Drop images within the post?
Currently not supported but will look into so more. You can
insert them via attachments and have them insert into the post
though.
Unlimited post on 1 topic unless I close it
Yes, we don't limit the number of posts on a forum or topic.
Admins/Mods can lock a topic whenever needed.
Notifications of subscriber for approval
Now are you talking about people who register on the forum?
Meaning require admins to approve their account?
Guest User
Only can only view posts
No download or posting
Yes this is possible with permissions. And guests are disabled
by default from posting
New members’ initial post needs approval
Once pleased by the members post will release the restrictions
can post and edit only their post
Yes this can be setup via permissions/post moderation.
What limits do you want to set? Like how many posts before no
more restrictions.
Mods,
full control of editing, deleting, banding and approving new
members
Yes possible with a global moderator member group
will have a paid membership forum, trainings and educational
Yes possible. We have built paid subscription system via paypal
which you can use to have members join a specific member group.
Which you can then use member group level permissions to allow
access to certain forums.

Updates:
Changed the style but still have to do tweaks
Have to fix banner image and make into an image map.
Enabled Paid Subscriptions and Post Moderation. Paid
subscriptions note: You still have to create member group for
paid members and set rates.
Increased the default size of thumbnails 600X350
For signups we have great bot detection so you probably don't
need to turn on admin approval but that is an option under
Admin -> Registration -> Settings
I setup post moderation for Newbie member group and changed it
to 2 posts before being promoted to junior member.
The people with 2 posts will require posts to be approved by
admins before appearing.
Guests changed so they can't download attachments.
