2: Re: packages (response to 1)
Posted by Caroline Meeks on
Jeff Davis and Aristoi have done a lot of work recently on Forums.  We are working with Tracy and the .LRN consortium to roll it back in in a way that supports .LRN's stability, but it looks like that won't happen till after the release of 2.1.

In less then a week we will have public CVS of the code base for the Concord Consortium Project, you should be able to access the latest forum code from there.  We will also post demo account info so you can try it out.

If you need it ASAP send me an email and I'll email you a tar ball.

Highlights include:

Javascript threads that open and close.
Tracking of who has viewed what post.
Marking read/unread posts.
Ability to lock a thread.

WebEQ integration for entering formulas (WebEQ is a proprietary package so parameterizing using it is one of the todo's before this version of forum's is released.)
