Forum TODO list

[bsneade]

Here is the todo list for the next release of the forum. If there are any suggestions / comments for the authors, now is a good time to get them in. BTW, this list is directly from the authors (MVN forum), which includes some software development stuff that may not be directly related to any visible functionality. It'll also give you guys something to comment on besides the "lil red is away" post...


TODO List: things must be done for version 1.0.0 RC 4
------------------------------------------------------
- [TOP PRIORITY] [All] review guest and reimplement full Import/Export feature
These two are connected, since you need to handle situations
with anonymous posts and attachments

- [TOP PRIORITY] [Minh and someone???] Localize the language resource in Java files

- Place holder for banner in the header.jsp

- In UserManagement, show number of Enable/Disable user, Activated/NonActivated

- Update docs for the RC3

- Check the xml configuration page

- Integrate the build.xml of the docs to the mail build.xml

- Fix bug that press Enter will by pass the Javascript checking

- Limit the post length in the index.jsp

- When send email, allow more FreeMarker variables for Member table

- Vietnamese keyboard cookie

- on the screen which allows you to access the 3 steps of configuration, each edit screen should
have a Cancel button - simply taking you back to the main list. basic UI principal i think
should apply here - a user should not have to use the back button or click a link above to 'cancel' this action.
(thread=1972)

- Question - if a moderator creates a thread, does that mean it is automatically 'approved'.
this would make sense to me - otherwise, it is a bit silly - a moderator would not moderate themselves.
()

- Check again the feature "forgot password"

- Send Mail preview

- Update the memberEmailVisable to include : accept email from webmaster

- Add option member_moderation (normal = 0, disabled = 1, pending = 2)

- Change image of member (current image should be for group only)

- Do not filter emoticon if enable_emoticon = false

- Encode url in jsp file to keep session even cookie is disabled

- In addpost.jsp add check Post length (So far, you have used 5 characters)

- Show information about member is in which group


- In index page, add link to delete cookie

- Fix bug in last page in the pager

- Turn on/off board (only admin can view)

- Check CSS with http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator

- Check HTML with http://validator.w3.org

- Check userAgent filter at http://www.psychedelix.com/agents.html (google: offline browser)

- Load Timezone Offset when startup (in MyVietnam module)

- There are a couple of time zones that are not offset by an even number of
hours different then UTC (aka GMT) - they are x.5 hours different.
Do you think the code shown below would be more appropriate? (thread=1566)

private static long SERVER_TIME_OFFSET = timezone.getOffset(new Date().getTime());
public static Timestamp getCurrentGMTTimestamp() {
return new Timestamp(System.currentTimeMillis() - SERVER_TIME_OFFSET);
}

- It would also be nice if the search results screen redisplayed to the user what words
were being searched for to get these results. Perhaps refilling the Search box with
what was posted. Or next to "Total posts found" message. (thread=1118)

- [done, need test] Sua lai DAO pattern de implement tren Oracle with the setCharacterStream (thread=1526)

- Support RSS 2.0 + number of bytes (default, configuarable + customize via url parameter)

- [TOP] Support sort by in RSS (thread=938)

- [Mai]:
- websetup tool
- Js message in search.jsp is not very good and correct
- restore the configuration files

- Move the package of import/export outside current admin package

- MVNForumConfig.ENABLE_AUTO_FORUM_OWNER = false

- Admin Zone: Change password for user (Admin only)

- Fix bug that in listthreads, the mvncode is is removed or processed correctly

- It would be nice if mvnForum would check the browser for people who were not
logged in and then use the preference if people set one in their profile.
thread=1947

- Change the combined permission from hard code to a array of individual permission

- I think one of the things that might be confusing about the security is there
is no way to view your cumulative permissions from groups etc.
(thread=1974)

- Implement MemberInvisiable

Looks like a relatively long list of items to work on. Most of them don't look like they would impact the average user directly.

I would like to see some type of table formatting implemented that would allow the creation of columns.

Also can we add more Smilies directly or would the code have to be modified to allow for additional smilies?

He needs to add a "last page" next to the "next page" here:

http://www.nvcorvetteclub.com/mvnforum/mvnforum/viewthread?thread=682

The way it is now you have to keep clicking on the page list to get to the last page.

Make sense?

Definitely. As we have seen with that post the {page} 1 2 3 4 ...

only goes to 10

Also, now that you mention it... when you use the => {last page}
icon from the thread list, it always shows you as being positioned on Page 1 regardless of what the exact page is.

Brad,
I feel for you buddy! I truly do. Maybe it's because I'm a computer dummy, and I got lost after the second todo item. [:-/] But if I can help in any way let me know and I will gladdly help. [:)]

[bsneade]

Thats fine, but suggestions don't have to be tied to the list..

If you want to see a purple dragon fly across the screen when reading a new thread, I'd be happy to ..well.. at least read the suggestion. If it sounds like something we should have then I'll propose it to the forum authors.. and maybe it will end up on the above list.

[urtoslo]

How about making me an administrator? [:D] A senior administrator! [:D] [:D] God-like woujld be good... [:D] [:D] [:D]

[bsneade]

hmm.. interesting request, but I'd rather not dilute my own "God-like" forum status. Paul is already running around unchecked as it is.. [>:)]

[jpatrick]

I love purple! [:D]

[jpatrick]

Brad,

Can you add a spell check to the Forum post choices? Some of the posts are pitiful when it comes to spelling and it actually hurts to read them. I could give on the grammar if at least the spelling was correct!! You might have to make it automatic because I don't think some people realize how poorly they spell. [;)]

[ArmyVette]

I would like to see the navigation bar added to the bottom of the page. That's the "Index/Recent Threads/Who's Online... bar at the top.

That way we don't have to scroll all the way back to the top of the page to navigate to another page inside the website.

[bsneade]

I can take care of that

You can always tell the single men! [:))] [:D] A non-single man might say "Hooters Laidies"! After all, they are of age! [;)]

"Hooters Laidies"

Was that a freudian slip or are you just having problems with the keyboard? [>:)]
