AE Forum
[1/8] from: syke:amigaextreme at: 10-Jul-2001 1:08
Hello list,
the AE Forum is available for download at www.amigaextreme.com (just go to
the binaries section and then misc),
all the sources and some documentation. It will probably pop up elsewhere
too, but for now, the archive is at AE.
AE Forum is a Bulletin Board System written in Rebol, have fun!

Hey..this is really cool.
I'm going to read over the source...but my motivation isn't really to build
a set of 'forums'; rather, I've been thinking (note *thinking* rather than
*doing*) about writing something to provide a talkback/feedback facility for
a given webpage.
Ya know how news articles, and places like Aint It Cool News will provide a
way for feedback to be chained onto the bottom of the page, or at least
linked to the page?
Anyway...I'm just wondering if you'd had any thoughts on whether the forums
code would be easily repurposed into a feedback mechanism. On a simple
level I can imagine trying to rig it so that a separate topic is created for
a page that wants to support 'feedback' style discussion. Something
like...whenever I create a new content page for my site, I somehow
initialize a discussion thread and link it into my content page.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Regardless, this is way cool.
Gavin.

Hi,
I registered successfully (..added to the database.. msg) for the
forum. Then I entered username and password into the logon mask. On commit I
always get the login mask again instead of the forum pages ?
btw, the design of your website is really cool. One of the best I've
ever seen !

Hi,
on the main site, I've made a commenting system to my newsarticles, is it
something like this you mean?
Anyhow, it would be quite easy to make a 'newsarticle poster' that will
initiate a topic in the forum. But if you have lots of news every day, the
forum would get quite choked up, and as I haven't tested it with lot's of
posts yet, I'm not sure how it would handle it.

Hi,
do you have cookies enabled? The forum requires to send you a cookie after
entering your username and password, and if it can't set the cookie, it'll
display the login page again.

That was is. Now it works. You might add a note on the logon page ?!
The forum is really nice. What I like most is the ability to change
your posts later on.

Yup, I'll add a message at the logon.
Hmm, maybe the one making the first post should be able to edit that one
too, and not just let people edit their replies?

Yeah...that's exactly what I meant. I see that the FORM ACTION for adding
comments calls a different REBOL script instead of a forum script.

That's a cool idea. Thanks for the feedback.
