    • Forum Enhancements

    Posted by blacklily8 posts: 73 ☆ ☆ ☆

    Hi, team. I hope you don't mind my taking the liberty here to describe some enhancements I'd like to see to the forums. I'm currently in the "novice" stage of php/mysql, so I'm much better at suggesting or requesting changes than making them myself. 😀 However, here goes:

    Forum Enhancements (in order of priority):

    1. Search feature: "View Posts Since Last Visit" added to forum listing
    2. Forums with new posts since last visit have "yellow" or "turned-on" icons in listing (this may involve adding a row of icons to the listing)
    3. Admin Option Added: "List X Forums on Each Page" to keep forum listing from splitting over multiple pages
    4. Admin Option: Allow admin to organize/order forums manually

    Thank you for your patience!

    Hi!

    Heres some answers for you:

    1. Search feature: "View Posts Since Last Visit" added to forum listing

    The code this this can be taken from the new Search module, which allows you to search in forums only.

    2. Forums with new posts since last visit have "yellow" or "turned-on" icons in listing (this may involve adding a row of icons to the listing)

    We have bold headings at the moment. I guess this wouldnt actually be a hard job!

    3. Admin Option Added: "List X Forums on Each Page" to keep forum listing from splitting over multiple pages

    You can already. Its either on Admin->General or on the admin->forums page. I think by default tiki is set to 10.

    4. Admin Option: Allow admin to organize/order forums manually

    This is a needed option! 😉

    I keep trying to paste the code but it doesn't parse correctly...Can't seem to disable it, either, even when I use ~pp~ and ~np~...Argh!
