WP-Forum 2.0 release is close

2008/10/11

Mostly of the code is written and I’ve had some time to debug using the forum on this site, Much thanks to Bharatk who are helping me with the debugging and for coming with feedback and suggestions. I still need you people to come with input and suggestions about functionality and design. It is after all you who will be using it and I want you all to be happy with it.

So please if you are browsing the forum and encounter any errors please add a comment to this post about it. I have put a lot of effort to get the forum secure and it should be quite safe to use it. Some big changes to the database layout makes the next version not compatible with earlier versions. A initial upgrade is made the first time the new version is activated. All your posts, topics, forums and moderators will be intact.

    Hi,

    Give me a week more testing and finishing up. Yes there is localization support.

    I was wondering if security could/would exist so that a user could get/see every thread except one. I am asking because I would like to put users into groups and have one group get special access to a single additional forum/thread while everyone would see all the other ones…

    Thanks
    Chris

    Hi!
    Will the new version allow anonymous users to choose a name when posting? If not, consider it a feature request. ^_^

    Looking forward to 2.0 version too!

    Great job !

    I want just ask you – will be possible to have the same image (gravatar, avatar, icon, …..) in wordpress comments and in your forum?

  9. Fredrik Fahlstad 2008/10/19 23:25

    Yes Petra, the avatar in 2.0 is directly linked to the one used by wordpress.

    I decided to randomly check back in and see if development has started again. All I can say is that I can’t wait for 2.0. Thanks for picking the project back up.
