I attempted this last week. It's easier to redirect them. So category.forum.com redirects to forum.com/category/2
I pasted my configuration in another topic. Feel free to look through my topics from the last 2 weeks for one about subdomains
I appreciate this has been asked many times, and I found lots of posts asking for this feature, and even Github issue (https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/743)
None of the above however explains how to achieve it: I simply want private forum - no posts (or even categories) can not be seen unless you are logged in
Any help is appreciated
You can remove the find and access privileges for all categories from the guests group. That way only logged in users will see/access the categories.
@baris that's helpful, thank you
I have my forum set up in such a way:
edit
page and turn off all access to guests under the privileges
sectionFor future reference, this is what you have to do now:
<url>/admin/manage/privileges/
Change "Configuring privileges for..." from "Global" to each category. You can then remove all "Guest" privileges.
