Sloan BBoard
part of dotLRN Documentation
The SloanSpace BBoard system is specific and is thus a fork of the
main bboard package. Eventually, this bboard package may be rolled
back into OpenACS.
Major Features
- Multiple types of bboard - q&a, threaded
- User Preferences for displaying - threaded summary, or threaded
complete
- Real Scoping - bad scoping going on!
- Messages marked as new since last visit
- for certain bboards, track messages that are new on an individual basis.
Implementation Details
Bboard forums will have an additional field: forum_type
Bboard forums will have an additional field:
track_new_postings_p which we will keep to false as often as
possible! This will also require adding a mapping table
bboard_message_user_map also known as bboard_mum.
For user preferences, we really need a user preferences package.
