Hi everyone, I'm planning to launch a Q&A style forum for my community. Our typical make or buy question started with research which is why I stumbled upon this product & community.

Been reading the documentation but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. Basically wanna know whether codoforum would offer / support following use cases:

1. Approved signups: as admin, I want to review and approve all user signups (gated community).
2. Upvoting: as user, I want to upvote posts. I saw that upvoting replies is possible, but can I upvote a post as well?
3. Groups: Besides choosing a category for my post - is it possible to create groups?
4. Social sharing: Is there any feature that allows me to share a specific post via SM, e.g. twitter ?

TIA for all upcoming replies, much appreciated!

Hi

Approved signups: as admin, I want to review and approve all user signups (gated community).

Yes, you can have approved signups. They need to be approved from backend

Upvoting: as user, I want to upvote posts. I saw that upvoting replies is possible, but can I upvote a post as well?

Yes, upvoting both topics and posts is possible.

Groups: Besides choosing a category for my post - is it possible to create groups?

No, what is the usecase for groups?

Social sharing: Is there any feature that allows me to share a specific post via SM, e.g. twitter ?

Codoforum does not have an in-built feature but it is possible to create a plugin for it.

Dear admin, thank you very much for your prompt reply. As for the member approval feature, is there any documentation I can study? Or a demo installation that I can play around with?

You're considering launching a Q&A forum and have been exploring Codoforum for its features. You're curious about whether Codoforum supports specific use cases:
Approved Signups: You want to review and approve user signups as an admin for a gated community. Codoforum allows admin approval for new user registrations.
Upvoting: You're interested in upvoting both posts and replies. While Codoforum supports upvoting answers, it might not have native support for upvoting individual posts. This could change, so it's best to check the latest updates.
Groups: You're wondering if you can create groups beyond selecting categories. Codoforum primarily uses types for the organization but lacks a dedicated groups feature.
Social Sharing: You're inquiring about sharing posts via social media platforms like Twitter. Codoforum might not have built-in social sharing, but you could explore third-party integrations or custom solutions.
