I'd Like to install this mod on my forum. All forums can be read by anyone. I have the Catery Hierarchy/subforums-MOD installed.

Is it possible to set this?

I'd like to restrict the forums: a user has to post a message in one particular forum and only then can he post a message in the other forums.

yes it is posible, and you should not experience any compatibillity isues (AFAIK)

1. install autogroup
2. make a poblic forum - permissions = ALL
3. make 1 or more privete forums - permission = PRIVATE or PRIVATE(hidden)
4. make a usergroup "posters" (or edit a existing) make it as a closed usergroup, and set the min post count to 1
mark the "update users autmatiaclly when posting"

5. assign rights for usergroup "posters" to do what ever you like them to do inside your private forums...

now only posters can access the private forums
(if a how-to is EM ready, it will mostly be bullet prof, since a machine is more picky than a human. :D)

this mods only add remove from the usergroup, the permission control isen't changed.
since phpBB2 does allow admin to define exactly witch permission a usergroup have inside a forum, it will be posible to do as you desire.

set the permissions to
VIEW=ALL, READ = ALL, POST = PRIVATE, REPLY=PRIVATE......

then assign the usergroup permission to this forum POST/REPLY
