* Add a "Report" link to the footer of forums.
* Allow some non-admin users to view a private forum and its threads.
* Moderators and approved followers can see it
* Note: the endpoint to follow a forum won't let a user invite themselves
to a private forum. Currently there is no way to approve a user except
by also adding them as a moderator.
* Explore and Newest tabs can show these private forums if viewable.
* The "Newest" tab of the forum is updated with new filter options.
* Which forums: All, Official, Community, My List
* Show: By threads, All posts
* The option for "Which forums" is saved in the user's preferences and set as
their default on future visits, similar to the Site Gallery "Whose photos"
option.
* So users can subscribe to their favorite forums and always get their latest
posts easily while filtering out the rest.
* Forum Moderators
* Add the ability to add and remove moderators for your forum.
* Users are notified when they are added as a moderator.
* Moderators can opt themselves out by unfollowing the forum.
* ForumMembership: add unique constraint on user_id,forum_id.
* Add "Browse" tab to the forums to view them all.
* Text search
* Show all, official, community, or "My List" forums.
* Add a Follow/Unfollow button into the header bar of forums to add it to
"My List"
* On the Categories page, a special "My List" category appears at the top
if the user follows categories, with their follows in alphabetical order.
* On the Categories & Browse pages: forums you follow will have a green
bookmark icon by their name.
Permissions:
* The forum owner is able to Delete comments by others, but not Edit.
Notes:
* Currently a max limit of 100 follow forums (no pagination yet).
Allow regular (non-admin) users access to the Manage Forums page so they can
create and manage their own forums.
Things that were already working:
* The admin forum page was already anticipating regular LoginRequired credential
* Users only see their owned forums, while admins can see and manage ALL forums
Improvements made to the Forum Admin page:
* Change the title color from admin-red to user-blue.
* Add ability to search (filter) and sort the forums.
Other changes:
* Turn the Forum tab bar into a reusable component.
* Add a Search page to the forums to filter by user ID and find threads and
replies matching your search terms, with "quoted phrases" and -negation
support.
* On user profile pages, add an "Activity" box showing statistics on their
forum threads/comments, likes given/received, photo counts, etc.
* On the "Newest" and Search page for Forums: show an indicator whenever a
post includes an attached photo.
* Add support to upload a picture to forum posts and replies, in forums that
have the PermitPhotos setting enabled.
* New DB table: CommentPhoto holds the association between a photo and a
forum ID. Photos can be uploaded at preview time (before a CommentID is
available) and get associated to the CommentID on save.
* Cron endpoint /v1/comment-photos/remove-orphaned can clean up orphaned
photos without a CommentID older than 24 hours.
* Add "Photo Boards" as a default forum category for new boards.
* Add a "Newest" tab to the Forums landing page to order ALL forum posts
(comments) by most recent, paginated.
* Add a "Views" cooldown in Redis: viewing the same post multiple times
within 1 hour doesn't ++ the view count with every page load, per user
per thread ID.
* Update the paginators to handle unlimited numbers of pages: shows max
7 page buttons with your current page towards the middle.
* General ability to jump to the "last page" of anything: use a negative
page size like ?page=-1 and it acts like the last page.
* On Forums landing page, show who was the most recent commenter on each
board's most recently updated post.
* Show photo count on Profile Pages on the "Photos" tab.
* Revise the mobile and tablet top nav bar:
* Always show small badge icons linking to the Site Gallery & Forum
* Always show Friends & Messages badges. If no new notifications, they
display as grey instead of yellow w/ a number.
* Put icons next to most nav bar items, especially the User Menu
* Tighten the sprawling page layouts in the Forums to be more compact
for mobile screens.
* Fix bug where some pages scrolled horizontally on mobile: the root cause
was divs with class="content p-2", needs minimum p-3 (but p-4 is used) to
provide enough padding to overcome column margins which were pushing the
page too wide on mobile.
Finish implementing the basic forum features:
* Pinned threads (admin or board owner only)
* Edit Thread settings when you edit the top-most comment.
* NoReply threads remove all the reply buttons.
* Explicit forums and threads are filtered out unless opted-in (admins
always see them).
* Count the unique members who participated in each forum.
* Get the most recently updated thread to show on forum list page.
* Contact/Report page: handle receiving a comment ID to report on.
Implement Likes & Notifications
* Like buttons added to Photos and Profile Pages. Implemented via simple
vanilla JS (likes.js) to make ajax requests to back-end to like/unlike.
* Notifications: for your photo or profile being liked. If you unlike,
the existing notifications about the like are revoked.
* The notifications appear as an alert number in the nav bar and are read
on the User Dashboard. Click to mark a notification as "read" or click
the "mark all as read" button.
Update DeleteUser to scrub likes, notifications, threads, and comments.
Adds initial code for basically functional forums:
* Forums landing page shows hard-coded list of Categories along with any
forums in the DB that use those categories.
* Admin: Create, Edit forums and view forums you own or have admin rights
to modify.
* Landing page forums list shows the title/description and dynamic count of
number of Topics and total number of Posts in each forum. TODO: distinct
count of Users who posted in each forum.
* Board Index page shows list of Threads (posts) with a Replies count and
Views count on each thread.
* Thread view is basically an array of Comments. Users can post, edit and
delete (their own) comments. Deleting the first comment removes the
entire Thread - the thread points to a first Comment to provide its body.
* Reply and Quote-Reply options working.
