MaNGOS Web suggestion list

[Guest]

I guess this is a awesome community project! The mission of this awesome project will be to give ideas about how to make the MaNGOS website even more awesome!

Ill being:

I miss the thank you button, its my way of showing respect without spamming really ^^,

And there was something else, but i forgot about it right now

Well! Keep theluda busy people!

And oh yeah one last thing: Make this opensource?

[lillecarl]

I think it is better to doublepost and keep each feature in a specific post so ill post again:

Mark all as read button

[TheLuda]

The forum is PunBB which is Open Source. There are a few custom modules, which are Open Source and on github, too.

On top of that I just added a few fixes, and changes here and there which just deal with our special situation (mucho spammers and such).

Thanks button is gone, but you soon will be able to raise the karma of people whos posts you enjoyed.

[lillecarl]

Karma = Rep = Repwhores = Bad Community Feeling = Bad Everything = Bad MaNGOS = Mass suecide

Thank you = Thank you you made something kickass!

EDIT: You really wanna cause mass suecide?

[TheLuda]

So karma is suicide, but thanks (which does the same) is not? Karma can only be received for posts, and would only be seen by the recipient.

Mark all as read button

This^

[cyberium]

Don't care about thanks count but thanks button is a good feature at least to avoid thank post...

If you click on "New posts" you can then click on "Mark forum as read" in the bottom right of the opened page. But I agree that having this on the main page would help

[Schmoozerd]

Actually I think I have an issue of the contrary:

Posts don't stay unread very long, even if they are unread.

[lillecarl]

Yes, i do not want to become a spammer just because i wanna show respect. Karma/Rep will cause repwhores, but just a thank you button is kewl!

[lillecarl]

New suggestion: Name and sort forums like this:

Three-Core

Three-Scripts

Three-Database

Two-Core

Two-Scripts

Two-Database

One-Core

One-Scripts

One-Database

Zero-Core

Zero-Scripts

Zero-Database

Would be more structured! And way cooler!

[Schmoozerd]

Nah

I think this should be renamed to classic, tbc, wotlk, cata instead these numbers.

But actually I am not sure if the forum software is powerfull enough for nested forums.

And we clearly need subforums for ACCEPTED, REJECTED and SUBMITTED

there are only a few posts in core forum, and it is very hard to see what belongs were.

Maybe we could infact use CorePatches -> (accepted, rejected, submitted) for all three cores (with some tagging like [ZERO] )

[TheLuda]

Nested forums are possible, as are tags. It would just be great to keep things as simple as can be.

[lillecarl]

Better a lil more advanced then unreadable;)

Edit: Luda plz!!! http://punbb.informer.com/forums/topic/25093/extension-release-kt-mobile-v09/

[DoxramosPS]

The forum is PunBB which is Open Source

AAnd I Thank you for sharing pun. : ) I've been integrating into my site and it flows smoothly.

a Wiki! a Wiki would be cool, anyone know when the Wiki will be available for general consumption? Imagine all the things we could do with a Wiki!

Wiki iz good! We need wikiz!

[Schmoozerd]

on github there _is_ a wiki

[TheLuda]

Wiki is a topic indeed. Does anyone know a script that converts MediaWiki to GitHub flavored Markdown? That would be a great thing, otherwise I would have to write it myself to get our old Wiki converted.

hmmm, not really however I'm running mediawiki on my server and can at least peel off the data for a manual conversion... if that helps in any way (??)

[TheLuda]

We can now make use of sub-forums to group forums, thanks to the PunBB subforums extension.

[stfx_]

Luda, can you please remove the pun_tag and use http://punbb.informer.com/forums/topic/24950/extensionupdated-v14-topics-prefixes/ instead. its exactly what we need: You can configure in which forums which user groups can use which predefined topic prefixes - like Classic, TBC, WotLK, Cata or Under review, Accepted, Rejected.

Also not sure why we would need sub forums?

[TheLuda]

Topc tags have been disabled, and the topic prefix extension is available, so let's have a list of prefixes needed for each section.

[lillecarl]

Theluda please also implement the mobile plugin i linked above!

And trefixes in core should probably be under review, accepted, declined, discussion, question etc...

[TheLuda]

Theluda please also implement the mobile plugin i linked above!

Already on it, currently testing it with my phone and tablet.
