Question Topic Creation Behavior and Date of Posts

Are any Devs reading this thread do we know?

Hope these important tweaks can be made prior to Kunena 1.6 stable....

So in summary from all points made above it's having back-end options the following. I can't help thinking that Option b in both cases would by far be preferred by almost everyone above the current behaviour of the plugin. I don't think it's just me being selfish! :sick:

1) When to create Discussion Topic for an Article?

OPTIONS:
a) Automatically when it's first read (current behaviour)
b) When the first comment is made on the article
c) For all articles created after a given date

2) What to include in the first post of the created Discussion Topic?

a) The whole article content (current behaviour)
b) A link that simply says 'The following discussion has begun based upon this article LINK'
c) Both of the above at once (presumably b before a!)

I definately agree with the above issues.
I think there should be an option to mimic the behavior of the old plugin, that is a forum post for a specific article should only be created only if the user decides to comment on an article...and this should be the default behavior in my opinion...since the majority of the sites would use this option...

I agree with this, it'll be great have this settings in back-end

Will the devs consider to implement the feature 1b (create forum thread only when the first comment is made)?
I think that this functionality should be obvious...

Great to see we've moved into RC3 - but with this being the 'final' RC, I'm getting nervous about no change to the Discussbot plugin....

Anyone heard that the changes we need to make this useable are being worked on?

I don't think we're pushing 'new features' here - more a case of ensuring there's no 'show stoppers' in the base plugin... so I hope someone who can develop the discussbot is listening to this topic and has the time to deal prior to the final 1.6 version going out?!?!

Andy,

Our plugins, modules and extensions, do not necessarily follow the overal release schedule. Our priority is clearly to get the core stable. We are committed to fixing these issues, but they come AFTER Kunena 1.6 issues have been solved.

We will release updated plugins, just not the same day as the RC3.

FYI anybody is welcome to help here. It's not rocket science, the basics are done, it just takes time and effort.
