[xwiki-users] Bulletin Board cannot display topic title and first post !?

[Guillaume Lerouge]

It makes sense, discussions àla Wikipedia if I'm right ;-)
The quickest way to do this is to create a specific skin with a new
displayer for comments. In fact, that's what was done for
http://wikipeople.elle.fr, see for instance
http://wikipeople.elle.fr/xwiki/bin/view/People/DrewBarrymore .

As for the rights setting (people seeing the page but not the comments), I'm
not sure that XWiki can do that out of the box... What you could do though
is to create 2 spaces, MySpace & MySpaceDiscussion -> then on each page of
/MySpace you put a button such as
[PageDiscussion>MySpaceDiscussion.$doc.getName()] (through a panel for
instance). Then people can create a discussion page with different rights
for each existing page. With the parent set right it's easy to get back from
the page in the discussion space to the original one...

Then you'd need to create a topic in your panel in the second space. You
could try to put this in a panel on the 2nd space :

$doc.getObject('BBCode.TopicClass', true) -> this creates a topic in your
page, but you'd still miss all the content on the TopicClassSheet... Maybe
playing a bit with an input form in the panel :-)


But this looks like a big hack... Good luck if you wanna try and do it
though ;-)

PS: if you wait a few hours, I'll may have the time to improve the BB's
remaining rough edges and upload a new XAR...
