Quote from: modxnooby at Jan 13, 2013, 06:21 AMOk guys I read through the documents from the website scott told me about and all I have to say is this. I know have more knowledge on Modx discuss and I am now more confused. As far as I saw there was nothing about how to put the discuss snippets together to make the login work and the registration. Also I hope that this is not the final release of discuss because from what I saw it is not much different from the vanilla forums which are hard to change. Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I saw in the making your own theme Documentation you have to go through many different files in many different places to get anything changed which is just not what I had expected from Modx.
You will barely be using the standalone snippets. Due to the enormous amount of views (controllers) that exist in a forum, it simply would be a ton of work setting up the required resources with the snippets alone. Using the controllers and templates as we do is different from what you're used to, and that's why I've personally tried to make the documentation on how to use it as clear as possible.
After reading the installation, getting started and theming docs, you should be ready to start changing things.
There's a lot of files, yes, but that's again because of the complexity of a forum. And yes: everything can be changed in the right file. The discuss.debug_templates (sp?) system setting can make that quite easy, as it will annotate every used file-chunk with a comment what chunk it is and where the file is located.
Is this a final release of Discuss? No way. I personally consider it a beta, with a plea to the community to dive in and to help out make it better.
