BC Forum Module feedback?

Can anyone share their experience with using the BC forum module? Does it work and would you recommend it? Are there any known problems or issues with BC Forums that I should be aware of? Any honest input would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi,
The forum module is pretty solid if needing a straight forward community driven module. There are a couple things missing which could be minor to most requirements such as the inability to (import/export forum/threads, private message, etc) but it comes down to your full requirements.
Otherwise other more dedicated solutions like GetSatisfaction, Jive, etc might be the alternative option if needing a bit more advance features.
Hope this helps!

Forum module alternative?

My client uses the forum module in great frequency. We have set up new user registration with Recaptcha, but despite this the site is getting crushed with Spam.
We have it set to moderate all first time posts, so nothing is being seen live on the site.But the CRM is overloaded with spam entries, and the forum queue is flooded with spam posts.
The 'manage spam' tool is useless as it has yet to pick up one single spam post.
I have worked with support in great detail, they made efforts to help, but the best resolution I could get was 'wait till the next version of BC'. One support agent told me that no work is being done to improve the forum module. So at this point I am looking to dump the forum module for something else.
I am looking for alternatives to the forum module that can work within BC. A dream scenario would be to have access to the same forum tools as Adobe uses here. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks

Hi,
I actually found this:
The MIME headers of the payloads are searched in order and the system takes the first payload that meets the criteria. This payload is swapped with the application payload.
So I think you can specify any Attribute from the MIME header, that is always the same. Perhaps the content-type.

How close is BC to making their Forum Module more current?

What I mean by this is, I'd like for their forum module to have all the bells and whistles like most other forums: ability to add emoticons, create links within responses, post images via sites like photobucket, etc.
I started creating a forum for my comic book art website and I'd like to create a community of like minded artists But the ability to post one's artwork seems to be limited to only copying and pasting images into the reply. This is actually kind of cool, but most forums allow you to paste img code links, type text and then link it, etc.
BC's forum module is lacking in this respect.

Hey there, short answer is - It is an older module, it has not been updated for years and there are no signs it will be updated any time soon.

Forum modules

Hi
Im going through the forum modules and plan to integrate a forum into my website, http://www.petshop-online.com.au/ .
However, im looking for some inspiration and would like to see what is possible using BC's forum feature. Is there anyone who has used this feature and doesn't mind providing me a link to their website/clients website so i can see what it is capable of?
Thanks in advance
Jason

Hey Jason,
The forum feature is quite basic. The best way to see it is, if no one responds with a working forum, is to trigger a new full feature site and have a look at it.
BTW, this site has several forums on it http://drwheatgrass.com/info/forums/default.htm

Urgent: Forum module for PHP/Oracle 8i

I'm developping a PHP application over Oracle 8i where there is the urgent need of integrating a forum module. Does anyone know where I can buy a good one?
Thanks in advance,
Paulo Sousa

I think the Invision Power Board supports Oracle, but you have to have a driver for it to work.

Upload photos along with post in Forums module?

Have built a forum using the module, it doesn't seem that one can submit photos with the post. Is there a way around this? Are there known plans to integrate photo uploading?
Thanks, Will

Thank you Liam. Do you think it possible to build a Web App to replace the Forum module? Client wants logged in users to be able to create posts along with photos.
Regards, Will

Is there a forum for feedback to Apple

Hi I am a Mac Newbie and am disappointed to find out the uni dock's remote does not support the menu button. I think this would be very useful as I am using the voice over and have outdoor speakers and rather than checking the ipod screen I could then happily scroll through using the remote. Also would be useful for vision impaired people.
I see other brands eg onkyo do support functionality that the apple dock does not.
Is there a forum where pple/amc people monitor/listen to ideas?
Thanks

In future if you forget where to find the feedback page just use the search bar to the right of 'support' in the menu bar above and type feedback. That is how I get there whenever I have a feature request or complaint. Unfortunately too many people say their bit in these forums rather than using feedback and unfortunately for them the feedback page is by far the most effective way to get a message to Apple engineers.

Forums Updates: feedback and questions answered

Some of you will have noticed some forum downtime today and no doubt you have noticed the changes!
I would appreciate it if people would consider the current state of the forum as a release candidate, rather than a final release. I am sure there are some things that will need tweaking or fixing and some unforseen problems/issues.
Please report any such problems on the Forum, Wiki and Documentation Discussion board. You can also provide feedback there.
A word of caution - when you click on the RSS link in the top right it will take you to the topics_anywhere page. While viewing this page the navigation area in the top right will show that you are no longer logged in but you are! Please do not panic.
Thanks.
.:edit:.
If people are confused by some of the recent changes then PLEASE feel free to ask questions in this thread. Several of the boards have been moved or removed and we need to make sure everyone still feels that there is a proper place to post everything

I suppose that the one who added the new setting in user profile could answer this question better.
Anyway, I do not have any experience with writting php, but something like:
<select name="postorder">
<option value="asc" <?if(user wantsOldestFirst) echo "selected=true"?>>Oldest First</option>
<option value="desc" <?if(user wantsOldestFirst) echo "selected=true"?>>Newest First</option>
</select>
Please remember that I do not have php skills, so if I wrote something enormously stupid don't blame me, blame the .... keyboard.

Liquify Smart Object support was added in a update/dot release to CS6. I don't remember which one. Also we are currently investigating a possible bug where Liquify Smart Objects from older Photoshop psd files may not be recognized correctly in the latest version of Photoshop.
Can you find out for sure on which version? Seems strange, that CS6, no matter where it came from, wouldn't be sync'ed as far as version. I understand features coming out for PHotoshop CC, that would go forward and not be in CS6, but it seems that CS6 should be CS6 and be sync'd for features and version numbers no matter where you got it from.
If you got CS6 from CC....and you quit CC....does that version of CS6 quit functioning or does it work still going forward if you stop paying the CC monthly rent?
Thanks in advance,

Forum Module, How to link to the forum register page?

Simple qeustion:
Is there a way to just link to the forum register page?
if so how?!
Btw where can you find the bc docs? im really getting annoyed because i cant figure out just that simple stuff.
- Rob

Hi rob, If you go to the doc section of these forums:
http://forums.adobe.com/community/business_catalyst/documents
You not only got good stuff in there but if you look to the right there are the linkes to the BC knowledgebase and some good 3rd party resources from people like BC Gurus and Simpleflame.

Forums module can you have a logging user return to where they were?

If a non-logged in user is looking at forums topics and finds one they want to comment on. They are asked to log in but are jumped into the general secure zones user area. How can you have them return to the forum topic they were on? I have used a hack to give them a button to return to the page they were on but it only works 50-50 as the trick goes back to a page in a state before they were logged in so the browser doesn't always see them as logged in.
My litte button script is below that just uses the browser history. Any help would be great.
I heard there is a tutorial in bcgurus i might look at later but if there is anything out there besides that I am all ears. Retun to the Page I was at. Go BackGo back to where you were when you logged in.

Does anyone have any advice for this? So far not having any luck.

Is it possible to have an image as an initiator and when dropped into a box becomes a separate module (ie: customer/feedback form)?

Hi guys,
I want to make a template generator wherein the symbols (images) would be dragged into a box and would become a separate module (feedback form, calendar, data grids, etc) which could then be arranged/deleted by the user accordingly. Is this possible? And can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
John

Thanks for the help Adobe!
I guess you guys don't have a clue either...F* this, I'm getting JavaFX (at least their customer support is hell of a lot better).
F*ckers
No wonder you guys at Adobe want the community to donate/share their ideas and creations.....its because you have none.

Folder access across all Modules ?

Hi,
Something that irritates me with LR(2,3,4) is that the FOLDER panel is not available across all modules. hence you have to create a collection or preselect your pictures first in Library . Does this bother anyone else ?

It bothers me, too.
Why don't you create an idea in the official feature request forum
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/ideas/recent
about it and post the link to your creation here?
It really should not be much of a problem to add the folder panel to the top left side underneath a navigator if available, where anybody would look for it. We are nicely conditioned to this LR user interface principle.
You will get my vote immediately!

Text & Graphic from Print Module

I bought Lightroom to help grow my Events business, we print on the night, we have an Awards night to shoot soon.
We would like to have a graphic (Logo) and Text naming the type of Award.
Would somebody please help and explain how to achieve this.
As I understand how the Print Module works, It's one or the other. I know that I could use the Watermark function to add the text, but this would be OVER the image.
Is there a way to design the template then import to LR? I cannot see a way in PS!
Any help or advice would be great .
Thanks.

I could see that being useful too. As it may not make the final release, and we wouldn't want the request to get lost in beta land, might I suggest adding it as a suggestion on the Feature Request forum http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family where it can easily be tracked? If you post the link to your request here, others can also vote on your request. If you search there, you may even find similar requests that you might like to add your vote to.

Text watermark opacity different in print module

In the print module of both lr4.1 & lr3.6 I find that the print module changes the opacity of a text watermark (to less, by about 20-30%) than what it is in the library & develop modules. Is this some kind of operator error or is it a bug (or feature? )in lr? If operator error, how to fix? OS for 3.6 is MacOSX 10.6.8 & for 4.1, 10.7.4. Documentation pointer(s) are quite welcome. Thanks
