JM Forum: A Fork of Forum Made Simple

[Jo Morg]

This is a Fork of the original Forum Made Simple.
I have plans to develop and extend this forum module further.
Suggestions are welcome.

Very nice to see someone work on the forum module!

I'll try to find some time to install and test it soon!

[cleatus]

yes, thank you! some times a separate or "embedded" forum is not desirable. i will install and submit an healthy number of feature requests next site that needs a integrated forum.

Any documentation on how to use it? Or better yet any demo site where it can be seen in action? I'm building a cmsms instance for our home owners association and was thinking it would be nice to have a simple forum capability. Nothing fancy needed but I don't want to take a chance of something causing problems with the site. Is this stable? Thx.

I went ahead and downloaded and installed this. I hope I didn't blow anything up. I got the following messages:

Most of it seems to work. And I'm not sure if those warnings meant it didn't totally install correctly. (Just as an aside, when I first set it up the forum posts were all 'squished' together. Then I realized I probably needed to associate some css with the page template. Yep. For us rookies you might mention that in the help module. )

So... I set up a page for my forum(s) I'm not sure my terminology is right I think her a forum is like an smf category. In any case I put 5 forums in a section. My main question is where can I find these posts as an administrator to edit/delete/move them. I can't find them anywhere. I then set moderator on thinking that at least someone must be an administrator to see them. No luck. (Of course I can see them in the forum itself as a frontend user but am looking elsewhere to edit/delete them.) Then I thought maybe only moderators could find/manipulate them. But as a moderator (on the frontend) I couldn't find where to moderate. Lastly all posts have a link to 'Report to moderator'. Clicking that always brings up the moderation comment page but then when I click it things semi-crash. I get what's best described as a minimal template. White screen with just links. So don't know what's happening. Most important for me with these problems is to find out where the raw posts are for moderating/deleting. Any help really appreciated. I'm looking forward to using this. If it runs as advertised it is all I need and then I can retire my smf installation and just focus on cmsms.

Again thanks,

How did you install it..?

[wakewatcher]

The module manager.

Creating forums, posting and replies etc all seems to work but I can't find how/where to manage the posts after they are posted.

[wakewatcher]

It's now mostly working. (And I'm not sure what changed.)

I can now delete,pin, move and close topics.

It still 'crashes' when I try the 'Report to moderator' link. It just renders a white screen (minimal template?) with links but no mention of success and no email send to the moderator so something is amiss.
