Forum add-on for Plone 5.1

Plone Support Add-on Development
41

I just released a first version of collective.ploneboard. Grab it while it is hot:

I think this is useful as it is already. Here is a list of features:

  • Add message board
  • Add Topic
  • Add conversation
  • Reply to a conversation
  • Add an attachment to a conversation

Though, we are clearly missing lots of details and features. If you want to help please check the issues I created here:

Feel free to give us feedback and let us know what you think! If anybody wants to sponsor additional features or further development, get in touch with us.

Sorry I didn't see this sooner. Will check it out shortly. Thanks for doing this! Pending it working, do you have a donation page?

Thanks for asking! We don't have a donation page. You can directly donate to the Plone Foundation:

The second option is to sponsor a specific enhancement or bugfix.

You can report bugs or suggest a feature on the collective.ploneboard issue tracker:

and then offer to sponsor the development.

Let us know what you think about the add-on. :slight_smile:

Looks like has potential. Pretty straight forward, thanks!

Does need the titles for the summary headings to fit the site's language. They are showing up in German (?).
Screenshot attached.

I think I know how to handle workflows, etc. through usual Plone tools and such so that I can configure notifications, etc. So, if the headings can be fixed, I'd like to start testing this with a community site to see how it goes. Unless you think there might be security issues?

Please advise @tisto
Thanks!

Yeah. We have to add and fix a few translations. Please always use the github issue tracker for those kind of things.

It is hard to image that this add-on will introduce any security issues. It uses plain Dexterity content types and standard commenting.
