The screenshot is here: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2411/2274127483_df5296912f_o.jpg In the left is view mode and the right is edit mode. I check the contents of the TopicClass object in my topic page, both the properties title and post is empty, when I enter something in these 2 properties, everything is displayed properly. I view the code in BBCode.TopicClassSheet, I don't see any code assign the value for this 2 properties, I don't know the Bulletin_Board.xar I downloaded is the same as yours. #if ($context.action == 'inline' && $doc.isNew() == 'true') $msg.bb_entertopictitle<br /> $doc.display('topictitle') $msg.bb_entertopicpost<br /> $doc.display('topicpost') #set($newtopictitle = $request.topictitle) #if($newtopictitle) #set($newtopictitle = $newtopictitle.replaceAll('"',"'")) <script type="text/javascript"> var topictitle = "${newtopictitle}"; {pre} document.forms.inline["BBCode.TopicClass_0_topictitle"].value = topictitle; {/pre} </script> #end #elseif.. #end

I have already entered a title and the first post for the new topic, then click Save and View and the result is what you see in the left of the screenshot. That's the reason why I post this problem here.

http://rapidshare.com/files/93105012/XwikiBulletionBoard.avi.html You can download my screen recorder to see what I have done. The category name, category description, topic title and topic first post all empty.

I use Windows Media Player 11 with K-lite Codec Pack to view this avi. You can download K-lite Codec Pack here: http://rapidshare.com/files/93178779/klcodec362f.exe.html ;)

Doesn't work either... Cannot find the player nor the codecs :-( (I'm on a mac...) I've been looking into the issue but still cannot reproduce it... What version of XWiki did you say you were using ? I'll try to install it again and import the BB from scratch to see how it goes... Guillaume

I found the problem: when using IE 7.0.5730.11 the problem occurs, but when using Firefox 2.0.0.12 everything's ok. So strange..

Hi, the problem you encountered has now been corrected. The Bulletin Board application has also been upgraded, adding some administration features as well as the possibility to quote other messages. Full description here : http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/BulletinBoardApplication I hope you'll have fun using it :-) Guillaume On 19/02/2008, Guillaume Lerouge &lt;guillaume(a)xwiki.com&gt; wrote:

Hi Ricardo, I'm not quite sure about what's the best way to handle this issue at the level of categories. However, please note that using the latest version of the application you can create new bulletin boards, giving each one its own space. This way protecting Topics and categories becomes much easier since you can use XWiki's built-in rights system more effectively. To find out how, download the latest XAR (it may cause a few compatibilities issues with the first one though, you may want to keep a backup the first BB XAR...) and go to the [BBCode.Admin] page -> you'll be able to create as many Bulletin Board as you wish, each in its own space :-) Hope this helps, Guillaume PS: thanks for the nice words :-) Actually I was greatly helped by Jérôme Velociter, Jean-Vincent Drean & Raffaello Pelagalli -> kudos to them three :-) On 21/02/2008, [Ricardo Rodriguez] Your EPEC Network ICT Team < webmaster(a)environmentalchange.net&gt; wrote: -- http://wikibc.blogspot.com/

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 ;-) Guillaume 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...

Hi there, The last version of the Bulletin Board Application is now available for download at http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/BulletinBoardApplicationD… . Description of the application available here : http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/BulletinBoardApplication This version adds a few layout changes and introduces a new panel that lists the bulletin boards an user has access to in a given wiki, available at [ Panels.BulletinBoardList] Hope you will like it, Guillaume

Hi! Sorry for posting this message again, but I've done something wrong in my previous post and it is hard to read it. Guillaume Lerouge wrote: I do! At least for us, this is a longly desired application/feature. Of course we will use it and report back any issue. I know it will be desirable we can contribute in a more active way, but I am afraid we have to keep learning prior to be helpful. Just a detail and another thing that could be considered as a bug: 1. The title of the panel list reads: "Your Bulletin Boards". There is another useful panel listing recent modifications that reads "My Recent Modifications". I do prefer the "my" instead of the "your": the user has this nice feeling of control over what s/he is accessing. Of course it is quite easy to modify this, but you have to do that each time the panel is reimported. I don't know it if is worthing to consider this. 2. See this... http://mire.environmentalchange.net/~webmaster/images/BBCodeRRodriguez.png I've rights to read all three BB created in this wiki. So, the panel shows the right contents. But see this... http://mire.environmentalchange.net/~webmaster/images/BBCodeXPontevedra.png User Xabier has access only to BB Red Natura 2000. Each one of the three links points to one of the three created BB to which I've access, but access is correctly denied. Perhaps this makes sense for your before I am able to dig into the code to see what is happening here. Thanks!

Hi Ricardo, thanks for taking the time to test stuff and sort it out :-) The point seems to be how $bbdoc is assigned within the control I must admit I have no idea why the code behaves this way, but since your code apparently works better than mine I updated the XAR using it :-) -> if it works let's use it ;-) Thanks for your help, Guillaume

Hi Guillaume, Guillaume Lerouge wrote: Following Vicent advise in another thread I have realized that Panels.IncludedDocuments could help me to avoid a problem: if I included Panels.BulletinBoardList in a given column and an user has no access to any bulletin board, we got an empty panel. Just the title was showed up. We think users must not get this entry if they have not access to any bb. I would like to propose the following code to avoid what we consider a problem. The way I check for granted access to bb is really primitive. But it works and it is not dangerous at all! It will be great if you or others could find a more elegant way to get the same result.
