There is not yet a demo server, let me clean the code a little, and install it in a more stable server. Right now it's on an unstable development server we are constantly reseting...
I can capture a few screenshots, and publish them with a list of new features in a wiki, and post here a link.
Well, I can write now a list of features:
uForums (Forums enhancements for UNED)
<h2>FORUM-VIEW</h2>
- expand node(s), so...
- show expanded nodes
- collapse node(s)
- collapse all (button or list-template action)
- show unthreaded version button (sort only by date)
- "new message" highlight (using views package and/or a new table for read/unread feature)
- show only new messages button
- mark as read/unread (if views is available)
- mark thread as read/unread button (bulk action)
- mark all forum as read button
- tooltips to show more info
- preview content
- authors information details (disabled right now)
<h2>MESSAGE-VIEW</h2>
- Next thread /prev thread navigation links
- User portrait
- reply to author button (link to mail)
- forward message button (email to...)
- row.adp architecture reviewed
<h2>FORUMS ADMIN</h2>
All new features check a package parameter (new for each feature) value to know if the new behavior is enabled or not, and if it's what kind of behavior is set. For instance,
- when marking a message as unread ¿should be marked as unread all the replies or only that message?,
- When expanding a node: ¿expand all levels, or just one?
<h2>In development</h2>
I'm working now in that points:
- write tests
- test when moderated forums
- add return_url to some actions
- simple admin page (with common parameters)
PS: I have to say that there have been 5 people involved in that develpoment during the last year at UNED: David Arroyo (First UNED requirements done), Raúl Morales (Portlet), Alberto Pesquera (DB and TCL API), Mario Aguado (data model modifications, and Team Leader/Supervisor), and Me: (Mostly User Interface changes)
