convert Support/Resolved/Not Resolved a features into a plugin

[so1o]

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/362

if the site is a forum just for discussion and is not a support forum, these options are redundant.

[so1o]

references:

• bb-templates\topic.php
  • <?php topic_resolved(); ?> this will have to be displayed after checking for options
• bb-includes\function.php
  • get_views() - this can be fixed by filter applied or processing after checking the options

Patch to implement config based support forum

[so1o]

Attached the patch to implement the following

• add a option in the config file
• if the config is set to true show the resolution drop down in the topic template
• if the config is set to true add view unresolved topic option

I think for .80 we should just scrap the support forum stuff entirely and make it a plugin.

[mdawaffe]

Let's be sure to incorporate #504 into the future plugin.

[so1o]

if we are removing this , should we keep the topic_resolved column in the topic table?

we can keep it and use it in the plugin..

any thoughts?

[mdawaffe]

I was going to suggest using topic_meta to store that info. Queries will be a bit slower if we do that, though.

patch to remove all references to resolve/not resolved

[so1o]

Patch added to remove all references to resolved and not resolved.

i have created a plugin with all (ALL) functionality that was in there. i will post it here soon.

besides the patch, the upgrade script will need to be updated to remove the topic_resolved column

Support Forum Plugin

[so1o]

The support forum plugin is attached. Later we might add functionality to the plugin to add custom options.

(In [581]) axe resolution status. Relegate to plugin. re #496 props so1o

[mdawaffe]

Verp nice catch, so1o :)

I'll work on the upgrade script. I think we should convert topic.topic_resolved into topicmeta "topic_resolved" to be more transparent to themes and other plugins that may already look at $topic->topic_resolved.

That as opposed to converting it to topicmeta "support_forum_resolved" as your plugin suggests.

Thoughts?

[so1o]

yup i agree..

[so1o]

question.. how does the system behave if i have a column named x and i add a metadata named x.. which shows up in the final output?

[mdawaffe]

The metadata will show up in the final output. (Oh the power!)

[mdawaffe]

so1o, can you look over 496.diff and let me know what you think?

[so1o]

line 281

bb_bb_update_topicmeta( $topic->topic_id, 'topic_resolved', $topic->topic_resolved );

should be

bb_update_topicmeta( $topic->topic_id, 'topic_resolved', $topic->topic_resolved ); 

shouldnt it?

[mdawaffe]

Well, I suppose so :)
