More flexibility in forum categories and sub categories

Hi wix team,

I am developing a community website. In that website there lot of communities and sub communities and sub sub communities and these communities should be hiden based on user country.

For example I don't want to show the category for Chinese people when a guy from USA logins to my forum. ..

So there should be a feature where I can hide and unhide the categories based on the user. It can be possible if we have wix code API Access to the forum app.

Or it is also fine if there is a category ,sub category and sub sub category structure so that I can show all the categories to everyone.....

I heard few months back that there is more flexibility feature being developed.... But after that there was no update regarding this.... So is it possible to achieve this in near future?

Thanks...

Hi @Nithin,

I'm thinking here with you, if we will enable to have different privacy for categories (for example - only certain members can read/write in certain categories) is this will solve what you're trying to do?

I think its more fluid then the sub-sub categories option, and will give you what you want right? (you'll need to flag those members for the Chinese category for example).

WDYT?

Hi @Rafi Laufer , Thanks for quick reply.... It's really good for me if I can hide some categories to some users from specific country.. so it will be neat..... so users from china will only see the categories they need.... and users from USA will see the categories they need..... But if it was based on privacy of categories, both users will see all the categories and then it will make lot of confusion which category to access.... i am not just talking about two countries.... there will be maximum of 195 country categories.... (this will make the privacy based category access very difficult).....its a big community website (and if finished its will be a big project with wix) and each user from each country has their on forum space (categories and sub categories and if possible sub sub categories)... If I can chat or email with u, i will share some screenshots to explain u more.... I will also show u some other pages in my website so that u will get an idea what i want to achieve in forum and blog apps.... so let me know if its possible.....Thanks...
