Discussion board for each course #23

Closed grahamcracker closed 10 years ago

grahamcracker commented 10 years ago

This is important to get done, at least on a basic level. I can take a stab at it, unless Damian/Chris/Ray would prefer to work on it. Should be simple to get set up- maybe just automatically have one forum per course?

Change of plans, it turns out that doing this with Discourse isn't feasible (http://stackoverflow.com/q/15393808). This is my fault, I should have researched this earlier.

New plan: since we have existing User and Course models, maybe just create a ForumPost model that belongs_to a course? Just make some simple CRUD and we should be set to go.

Would a forum post be enough? Wouldn't we need a topic and all that Sent from my iPhone

When I've done this in the past a post model is enough. If the post model has a "reply_id" then it is a response to a topic, if it doesn't have one then it is a topic.

What about disqus. I'm serious.

Ok. So in that case we just have a Topic model, courses have many topics. Each topics has its own disqus comment thread. Just looked into it and non-monetizable disqus is free. Thoughts? I don't have a problem with it.
