Re: Can I remove this from my forum?
Yeah this is pretty easy to remove but it has to be done with your template
Just create a template that has no menu's and takes up 100% width of the area you want to take up, then assign that template to the forum, under templates and it will work.
I do something similar with SMF on my site, and have tried the same with Joo!BB and it seems to work fine
Project continuation
Hi,
I wanted to find out about how the system will continue after your thesis and whether this will just end as a research project.
So far this has been the most promising forum software I have seen for Joomla, and before seeing it I was about to embark on writing my own forum.
So if this is going to stay on after your research project is complete and going to stay going as a project, I will consider taking it on as my forum.
As it is I am going to run the private forums of my website with it and then consider moving to it full time going forward.
Also are you planning on writing any converters, say Fireboard or Phpbb to Joo!BB?
cheers

Benchmarking
Hi,
I am wondering whether any benchmarking has yet been done on larger forums with high load.
My forum has somewhere around 1000 members with about 1 000 000 posts in it. I wanted to see how quickly the forum tables are checked.
I am thinking I might use my database as a benchmarking model once I am able to get my contents into it.
But have you done any testing on large amounts of data?

Re: Some suggestions and requests for information
I jsut re-checked this and I see how this works already now.
You have the "Extended permissions" and I can add permissions on a per user, per forum bases which is exactly what i wanted, I now have full control over the system.
Awesome, now to start looking at an SMF >> phpBB >> FireBoard converter so that I can then make a simple converter from Fireboard to here. (SMF converter would be too complicated)

Some suggestions and requests for information
Hi,
So far this is looking like it is going to be a good little system, and I definitely like the admin interface etc.
Fireboard was starting to look pretty good, however the problem there is that they stopped honoring their own core and wrote plugins and addons that did not respect their own "perm files" so when I tried to write true private group based forum addons i gave up completing it simply because I had to rewrite too much of the core in order to get them to work.
Now one of the largest complaints about Fireboard is the lack of true restricted and group based private forums.
So can I suggest the following since this is still in Alpha stage, as I think this will set Joo!BB apart from the rest.
1 - With the Role based restrictions, add the ability to create new roles and restrict the forums to those Roles only
2 - Allow users to be a member of multiple groups
So by this what I mean is there needs to be a way to allow user to be a member of mutliple groups and then assign a group to that forum.
From looking at the code I think that I can make a group and assign that to a forum, then make members of that group.
However I need this to be taken one step further and I need to have only members of that group able to see the forum, and this includes the admin, so even admins can't see forums that are restricted to GroupB if they are not a member of that Group.
The reason that I need Users to be members of multiple groups is that
- User A is a moderator of Forum 1
- User A is not a moderator of Forum 2
- User A is a Private Member of Forum 2
So this means that the User A is the moderator of one forum, but can only view a private forum.
As it is now I can't see a way to do this.
Any suggestions?
Dan
