This way just makes it easier for people to update / customise IMO... I did look at using external tables etc.. but uForum tried that and the feedback I got was that people didn't like it :S
Thanks for getting back, Lee. I agree it's way more easy to customise. Will it work with autofolders (to avoid an old forum having 1000 topics directly below)?
Yes it should work with autofolders, as I just use the API to create topics and posts and I'm guessing 'Autofolders' will just attach to the onpublish event?
Cool - Do let me know how you get on, I'm interested to hear how people get on using it with other packages. For big forums I was going to write a post about installing Richards awesome content maintenance package, as it would enable quick finding and administrating of posts/topics
I just noticed that all all responses are childs of a topic node. I just thought it would be great to have them in montly archives. Better performance and easier to manage. But of course :-) out of the box is even better.
Maybe if its even possible to configure "level of granulation" as I believe it's seldom needed to split into "days" (im not sure if this is understandable)
Data in Umbraco?
It really looks cool but I'm worried about putting forum data in Umbraco. Of course Umbraco can store a huge load of nodes, but still ...
Looking forward to trying it out.
Thanks
Jesper

Perfect - I'll try :-)

Hey Jesper, How were you thinking of using autofolders for this package? Alphabetising the topics under a category or adding in datefolders?
Only asking as I might integrate something like this out the box, but date folders would make the URL's even longer which is not a good thing.
Hi Lee,

Thanks for creating an awesome package.

sorry .. should have read ... all topics are childs of forum node .-)
Ok I'll see if I can slot something like this in without making the URL's insanely long :)
Just a thought for another package: "ignore nodes of this doctype in url" :-)
Like the package idea ;) Have added in ForumDateFolders for new topics in v1.1
U da' man :-)
Maybe if its even possible to configure "level of granulation" as I believe it's seldom needed to split into "days" (im not sure if this is understandable)

Bit too much to do ;) I'm still trying to get the rest of the features implemented :P
is working on a reply...
