Forum Made Simple 0.7

[alby]

about the property_feu="surname,firstname" setting and pretty urls. Isn't it an idea to store this setting in the database?
something like:

Code: Select all

$this->setParameter('property_feu',$params['property_feu']);

Plus all kinds of checks if the property is set etc.
Then it does not need to be passed as get parameter

I think this but I want major flexibility.
I want setting per forum, in this mode with:
{....  forum="Forum1" property_feu="email" guest="yes"}

in other part of site, un other forum:
{....  forum="Forum2" property_feu="name" guest="no"}

In database I have a parameter for all calling module

Sorry my late reply, work have been killing me

No, but I think this for 0.9
The problem is the impossible to use them with prettyurl.
URL must be (orrible): www.mysite.com/forum/topic/1/1/surname,firstname/43
Your opinion on this?

Ok, I do not use prettyurl my self, so do not have I qualified opinion on that. I would have suggested the same as "bterkuile" wrote, but I can see if you want the flexibility there might be some problems with this approach.

I thought on this, the redirect is to forum level (list of topics).
IMHO:
- for reply is correct. The update topic is first of list, like in this forum
- for edit post (modify), this forum redirect to topic level (list of posts). I redirect to forum level for make easier
Your opinion on this also?

This is again my own personal taste. It is no problem the way it is now, but I like to get directed back to the topic I replied to, or edited. What are the opinions by the rest of the users?

Strange tomorrow I test this.
I think to normal behavior of FEU. If you want to log out FEU redirect in same page, if in this page there is CustomContent (I have this) display Access denied message.
If you don't have CC, you must set a logout alias page in FEU.
But your opinion on this also?

This will help a bit, but I found the problem in login as well and if I was reading a news on the page and I decided to log in, I had to log in twice (first login try moves me out of the news the second logs me in). I changed to Forum a bit so you can always read the post in the forum, but you have to be logged in to write or make a reply. I will do some more testing on this problem with log in and out.

The problem (maybe) is that you have FEU call AFTER Forum call (in login and logout).
Please, try with FEU BEFORE Forum and report this

Alby,

is there a demo-site to see this one running. Might be usefull for users to stay within CMSMS instead of connecting to SMF for the forum.

Ronny,
it's a good idea.

I have a site that works with forum made simple but it's private.

In this week I install a demo-site with a new version of FMS.

Thanks

Hello friends,

I'd like to use Forum MS for our village's pages. But I am still not sure how it works. I am testing vers. 0.8 (FEU installed, too) and I'm logged in as admin, all my posts are still signed as 'annonymous'. Also administration of Forum let me to change only Forum name and description, no topics administration. Where can be an error? Help please, thanks...

In Admin can you setting a few thing (add/edit setting). In FrontEnd if you don't login you are a anonymous user.

Setting FrontEndUser in admin, add two group (user and moderator), add two user (one in moderator group) and call FEU in your template.
In frontend form login now and create new topic, you can edit/delete your post.
If you login with moderator you can edit/delete topic/post and sticky/close topic.

This week I release 0.9.0 with:

Bugfix:
user guest can edit post of guest, encoding in topic title/post body, if missing topic title is missing link also;

Improved:
bbcode with center and color, substitute htmlspecialchars with cms_htmlentities;

if you test this version, download ZIP attach (rename) in this topic

Alby,
many thanks for the clearing. "Moderator" is the right word... But still I don't understand why I am an "anonymous" if I am already logged as "admin" in FEU. Will see...
Anyway I'll play with 0.9 - let you know.
Best regards
Josef

group admin is a user/moderator group for FMS (Forum Made Simple)?
If not it's a guest group/user

Anyway I'll play with 0.9 - let you know.

Thanks

Hello Alby,

I have translated your 0.9 version to Czech lng.
My idea about users and permissions:
unregistered:
- guests - can read forums only
registered:
- members - can read and forums and write posts & topics
- moderators - can read, edit, delete and write posts & topics
- admins - cna read, edit delete and write posts & topics & forums and modify global settings in admin panel - in future can ban some members...
Form me it is problem the difference between guests and members - I'd like to give reading of forums to anyone but restrict posting to registered users only.
Can you suggest me the right way?

Alby,

Just a followup to let you things are working out fine.  Thanks for the updates!! 

[alby]

Thank you all

To pepawo:
In this moment it isn't possible.
In 0.9.1 I want move all parameter from global to "per forum"; in this way you can set all parameters and it's simple add new params and permission

In admin there is a check for guest posting but in this way guest can read forums.
0.9.0 is better and I release this in two days
