I just put online this forum which is a custom version I coded the last couple of days. I was in a hurry to put it online as I thought that it would be a great tool to communicate with you guys in order to make mecabricks better. However there is still a bit of work to add a few nice features. The one I have in mind currently are:
Don't hesitate to let me know if you have other ideas.
I have a few forum ideas.
All noted in my to do list!
Man, you give me a lot of work to do for after my holidays 😉
Don't worry, I've been keeping notes, I have a list for the workshop I haven't posted yet. No worries though, enjoy your time!
I've enjoyed tinkering with the wonderful thing you've created here.
Also, I said I would help anyway I can, so there's that.
Hello,
I'm back from holidays and I started to add features to the forum.
So far, you can use a bit of BBcode, emoticons, embed images, youtube videos and mecabricks models.
I'll make a post to explain how to use all that.
As one of your suggestions, I highlighted (bright blue lego icon) the categories and topics that haven't been read / where new replies have been posted.
It only works if the user is logged in to the website.
wouldn't have been easier to just use some already available forum software? i'm just curious, developing a whole forum looks like a big job, and time removed from mecabricks workshop etc 😃
It was the first option but I never really liked the different ones I tested. It's always to complicated, too long to set up, too many options, etc. I just wanted something simple where I don't need to spend 5 hours when I want to update the code. This one has been written in 2 days and is fully integrated with the rest of the database and website.
