EveBB Portal #4

Open WisdomPanda opened 13 years ago

WisdomPanda commented 13 years ago

This is a large feature.

The idea is to enable a "portal" for EveBB so that you can create a front page, which then takes you to the forums.

This needs to be light weight and not weigh down the forums, ideally it will be it's own self contained plugin that really only relies on the user auth, style and database of the forums. The site should not require any additional CSS'ing unless completely required. (aka, it should look like the forums do)

Musing as to how to accomplish it, I'm thinking something like being able to create "pages" using bbcode (with possible enhanced markups) that can be linked together, with the option of tagging a forum as a "feed" and including this on one (or all) of the pages. I'd be loathed to move the information to a new database table, as we already have a fully functional and working set of tables that would do the job.

I will update this issue with images as I plan it out.

That would be very excellent, i can't help but consider attempting to bridge evebb with clip-bucket (i did that for smf 1+2 and phpbb3 a while back, enabling video/image sections in those, not to mention an entire suite of hooks and functions to call video/picture/category listings in stuff like a portal). This feature would be quite interesting (pages? sections?) for enabling usability of a video-system bridge. Currently working on audio features for clip-bucket, but once done an evebb bridge and theme for it might be next ...

I'll have a look into it =]

My most immediate work however will be making the changes for the new API changes, this weekend hopefully.

I apparently closed this without noticing. Reopened for continued comments!
