i_channel_max_sum

[Burnjack]

Is it possible to implement to set a maximum amount of subchannels which can be created inside a (parent) channel?
It would be very helpful on public servers where its allowed that users can create own channels, also permanent.

Hello

It's already possible with i_channel_min_depth and i_channel_max_depth parmissions.

Do you try to set this permissions in server group ?

No, i try it with the Channel Admin Group.

On my Server its possible to request a permanent channel. I create the channels for the applicant. In this channel its possible to create subchannels with the max_depth of 2.
Now i need a solution to set a maximum amount of subchannels inside a such channel.
Example:

applicants main channel
- sub1
- sub2
(- sub3)

If the channel admin of "applicants main channel" tries to create the third subchannel named sub3 an error message should be shown like this:
*** You are not allowed to create more than 2 subchannels in this channel.***

Sorry, but I don't think this would be a useful addition to the permission system. Why would you limit the number of sub-channels? If you don't want a person to create more than two channels, simply create them for him and setup his permissions so he's only allowed to modify those two.

I don't see a logical reason here to make the permission system more complex than it already is. If you need something like this you'll have to create your own solution with a script.

Because for the same reason as these two *_depth permissions (i_channel_max_depth, i_channel_min_depth) exists, clarity (better overview).

Ok I understand, you talk about number of sub-channel (not a level).
Not the same thing.

The "_depth" permissions make sense.
i. e. you want your "apllicants" to create (permanent) channels, but they should only be able to create sub-channels, not normal channels.
In this case you set min_depth to 1.
max_depth is to limit how deep you can create sub-channels (i. e. for better overview).

Yes and i want a third permission for improved overview, so that the applicants can only create a given number of subchannels in their channel.
