Is it possible for a member to submit a forum ? We have the permission selector at the admin section, but I do not find a link for the member to submit it.

I can't see any possible application. In theory suggest.php?action=addcat should do it.

I'm thinking on a Familiar Resticted Forum were any of their members can submit a Forum regarding their interests. 'suggest.php?action=addcat' is working fine, but I do not find the correct way to select the corresponding category or a category selector at the template as now we have: <tr> <td class="labelscolumn"><span class="labels">Category:</span></td& #62; <td class="optionscolumn"><select name="type">{FORUMTYPEOPTIONS}&# 60;/select></td> </tr>

You want to force it to be a subforum of a particular forum? <tr> <td class="labelscolumn"><span class="labels">Subforum of:</span></td> <td class="optionscolumn"><select name="parent"><option value="1">forum 1</option></select></td> </tr> You can also hardcode the category as a hidden input if you want, along with the parent forum.

Thanks, I had entered the category descriptions but no the category names so I was confused as {FORUMTYPEOPTIONS} was showing 'regular';'1';'2';. Would it be possible to pass the type variable with the suggest forum link in order to have {FORUMTYPEOPTIONS} to show selected the corresponding type category in which we are clicking the suggest forum link ?

I believe you should be able to pass &type=x, I know it works for links.

At main.tpl I have <a href="suggest.php?action=addcat&type=2"> Include New Forum</a> Unfortunatelly It's not passing the type variable. At suggestcat.tpl I have the following to catch the forum type without detection: <TR> <TD>FORUMTYPE:</TD> <TD>{FORUMTYPE}</TD> </TR>

You need a field in the form. <input type="hidden" name="type" value="{FORUMTYPE}">

I have just inserted the "Suggest New Forum" Link at the end of all Categories. As a suggestion, for the default template, it could be advisable this link to appear for the usergroup allowed to submit forums. Best Regards.
