forums

Last week I created a module that's popular with forum communities; it allows titles to be assigned based upon post counts, as well as arbitrary overriding of the titles by administrators.

It requires work at the theming layer to expose these titles, though I saw some mention that flatforum may offer automatic integration with the module if it exists. If so, that would be really handy.

See http://drupal.org/project/user_titles

The issue is at: http://drupal.org/node/20295

It's the most awaited one after flat forums(coming soon!), and posting this one so that we can move on to flat forum one asap! Now, for this one, imagine you want polls to appear in your forums, this patch gets any content type in there, and likewise the possibilities to push any content into forums by choosing related category. Hopefully this much makes enough sense what the patch does. Will also post a port for Drupal 5.x, as requested by Michelle.

UIEForum is a complete forum system, that is intended to replace the existing drupal forum module. I test this module before, and its a better solution for me, it still in dev version, the developper is very friendly helper (zoro)

Hi,

I know that there are thousands of topics like that on the net, but I would like to know what's the status in our group.

Please type your favorite BB software, and please write why you like it, and what you hate in it.

I personally use Invision Power Board 1.3, but I hate it. There's nothing good about it, the only reason that I use it the all my moderators like it, and don't want to deal with phpBB. (I can't wait to surprise them with DruBB) :)

Please share your experience,
Have a nice day.

Welcome to the vBulletin group. Now lets get this group active!!

Hi,

I am still developing the extended forum module, but I have now big project at my work so the forum module project won't be ready by February, but I hope that I'll release the pre-alpha version by March. And I hope to post screen shots as soon as I can.

Anyway, I got an issue that I would like to discuss with you about.

While Drupal specializes in simplicity, competing with forum software like phpBB or Invision requires more depth in terms of individual pieces. One of the most underdeveloped modules is, without a doubt, the private messaging module. Compared to other types of PMing, this module can certainly be expanded. What do you think could make PM-ing more interesting for users on a site?

My ideas:

Folders: Letting users create folders for their PMs would certainly add a needed feature. On some sites (no Drupal ones I use, but certainly on forums), I receive a ton of messages, so letting me sort them is certainly a convenience.

Hi,

I am interested about your favorite way to post your forum topics/comments.

I'll classify it into 3 categories:
1. The way it done in Drupal/IPB, simple text area maybe with BB Code/Html
2. The way it done in vBulletin. Cool plain text editor, with user friendly BB Code/Smileys buttons and wysiwyg option.
3. Using advanced wysiwyg editors like TinyMCE or FCKEditor

Link to fckeditor demo:

Link to TinyMCE demo:
http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/example_full.php?example=true

Which of the wysiwyg editors you like more? TinyMCE or FckEditor?

I think my favorite way is like it done in vBulletin, but what's your favorite option? What will fit best the DruBB project?

Something I really like about the Drupal.org site, and something I don't see really being managable outside of it, yet, except if core is used exclusively for the most part, is the fact that ALL the nodes posted (outside the issue cue) are all forum posts.

I've noticed on a couple of other sites that I visit that, for example, consist of blog posts with a separate forum section, most of the dialog and discussion that develops with visitors goes straight into the comments section of the node and the forums collect weeds, comment spam and dust. "Community" development is limited to comment threads and the consistency of content posted to the front page nodes, and conversation outside the comments? Non-existent.

Hi everybody,

While making my research about Drupal profile solutions, I was pointed to the following site:
http://www.goingon.com

I was shocked after surfing the site. This site is powered by Drupal and it's amazing! WOW!!!

I want that our BB project will have such full featured profile like in goingon.com. Does anyone have any clue which profile module this site is using? What are the other modules of that site?

Thanks and have a nice day.
