Most Wanted Forum Features - Please Add Yours

Ability to see own posts will be a godsend.

Clicking profile and "Show the last posts of this person." does the trick.

Edit: There’s also a "Show posts" link in the left menu on the profile page, same result.

I can foresee Kalendar / CALx becoming more important down the road. What I would really like to see is one of them developed as a Module as opposed to a normal snippet. Being able to manage it from its own user interface that is more specific might make it nicer and more understandable for clients.

I’m desperate for this feature -- Let me search for my own screen name!!!!

For example: I’ve made a number of posts on Wayfinder, but the search terms

BobRay Wayfinder

turn up zero matches. I wish I had this capability several times a week (sometimes several times a day). It’s frustrating to think, "I know I could help this person if only I could find the post I wrote two months ago on Wayfinder parameters" (or whatever).

Apparently, the "posted by" field is not searched at all. It seems like the fix should be as simple as adding that field to the query in the search code.

Once you get past a few hundred posts, being able to just see a list of your own posts isn’t good enough. Also, sometimes I want to find something I know was posted by OpenGeek or Sottwell or someone else. I’m just SOL for those without search including "posted by."

You can search for posts by a specific user in the advanced search.

Doh !!! (sound of hand hitting forehead). How did I miss that for so long?

Thanks,

What is the status of making a native modx forum ?

Is it still in the "lets see what the community wants" state or are there some actual coding in progress ?

I really need a native modx forum so if no one is working on a forum then i might start myself. I just dont want to waste time on developing a forum if the work is almost done.

cwbsoft,

Thats a great idea, Why don’t you PM rethrash & Zi about this?

I might do that but i think that i have to look closely at what the 0.97 version brings. Especially about the new user administation.

You will here from me if or when i got something to show

Kindly refer to www.wtf.modxcms.com, I’m sure there is enough chocolate about 9.7 to have fun with.

Don’t know if it’s been added.

Being able archive or tag a thread for future reference would be great.
