()BUG) Improve the updating of Topics after reply deletion
I notice that If replies are added and then deleted, the TOPIC doesn't get updated in its "last_reply" and "Modified_by" fields!
These should be updated when an asmin comes along and unpublishes/trashes/permanently deletes a reply from the...
New threads should be more visible
Right now you can see in the Recent topics if there are new replies to a thread.
If there is just a new thread with one posting, it isn't obvious at all. Maybe give the category another color to show there are new threads in a category, and...
Move a single or a selection of postings to another or a new thread
Sometimes user post in the wrong thread or you would like to move one single or a selection of postings in a thread to another thread or just create a new thread with it/them.
Right now you can only ' move' the complete thread to...
Make certain menu items optional for showing
I would like to have an option in the backend to show some discover menu items in the frontend or not. Like the Forum Members and Recent Activity, which then only should be visible for logged in users.
I also would like to have that option in the...
Access based on post count
What might be interesting is to create the possibility of access to sub-parts of the forum, based on the number of posts a member has.
One could for instance use the user groups and user access levels in joomla to achieve this. It would...
Possibility of user to set invisibility
Hello Maverick,
I got a remark from one of the users of our CJForum that she did not like that when she logs on to the site, that then her screen-name is visible on the forum. Now personally I think that this is more a feature then a privacy...
SPAM control...
I see there are currently some "flood controls"...
what we need rather more urgently are SPAM controls.
In other words, the ability to check brand new users to make sure they are not Forum Spammers.
Right now our live site forum...
Hiding all data
I suggest to hide all inside data (profile, activity, topics et c. et c.) from public access, even from deep links, scans or crawl.
Also, the default configuration should be set this way.
The administrator will expose the data if and when he will...
Extended subscritions
I suggest to extend the subscrition model to include whole categories and / or tags.
These days users are used to get actively involved, and they hardly browse the forum by themselves looking for new topics of interest.
It could be implemented by...
Topic form object
I suggest to develop a suitable object of type Topic form.The Topic form menu item straight from the component is pretty handy, but sometimes you need an addressable object.For example I rely heavily on the List of tagged items menu items, and, of...
finer control over page features
I would like to get rid of the Forum "Search box" on the Searchbar, as it is not that useful for our users.
The problem is, when Ii set the Topics | Show Searchbar to OFF, it removes the whole div, including the (USEFUL!) Jump To Forum...
Configuration Option for Callout Button
Option to switch the Callout Button on/off within Configuration of CJForum
if the Text Feature is used it does not give more Funktion to Topics information only doubles the Last replied Information.
Category lists display each topic's 'description' ( teaser) CjForum Module
We'd like to see this ...
the first hundred or so characters of each Forum topic displayed underneath the post title, as it is done in CjForum Module
(with an ellipsis if the post has more characters than desired...
Options for user to send PM to administrator(s)/moderator(s)
Somewhat related to the suggestion to report a posting, but sometimes a user would like to have the attention of whomever of the administrators/moderators is logged in or possibly otherwise available.
With the DM system you can only send a DM to...
Report a posting to administrator/moderator
I would like to have the option for logged in users to report a message to the administrators/moderators, with some space for explanation, and/or option buttons to categorize the report (spam, offensive, commercial etcetera). A thank you note...
How about some REAL documentation?
SPRASE is an understatement... how about making this a useful package by fully DOCUMENTING IT'S USE??
for instance, how can I moderate the first few posts of new users? ( to prevent forum spam)
and for that matter, how can I...
Restoring Single topic menu item
I suggest to restore the Single topic menu item.It can be useful in some context.
For example I list all tools to engage in the forum (that is other than browsing and commenting) in a List tagged items menu item.
These include articles, forms,...
More control over the header?
We do not use "Activity stream".
So the "View Your Activity" link in the header is redundant and confusing to users.
Right now I have edited it out in the /components/com_cjforum/layouts/default/header.php ( Lines 36-38)
But I have to...
Kunena migration: updating the points...
After our sucessful Kunena migration, I decided to tidy up a bit by updating the points to catch some minor stuff that was not covered by the migration.
I wanted to update all migrated users points with some of their legacy Kunena activity...
