Hi, I'm an eclectic developer going through many different programming languages like php, perl, javascript, mySQL, java, C++, etc. I did already following patches to FB:
- PubAdmin adds the backend users to the forum public access list - allow to have private forums for manager and beyond too
- UserTypes display all type of users - not only 'user' and 'admin', but 'author', 'manager', etc.
- Forum moderators + global moderators: In standard FB, you have first to fill up a list of moderators and then pick in each moderator you want for each individual forum. With the patch provided, there's now 2 classes of moderators: forum moderators and global moderators…
- ShowAdmin adds to the CSS class 'whois' for admins '2' = 'whois2' - for showing the online users, originally there's a css class starting with whois and completed by '1' for the moderators. I added the number '2' selector for admins so I can assign a color for moderators and another for admins
- MessageLinks local message links open now in the same window and external ones in a new window - before, any message links opened in a new window... quite boring for links to the forum
- getPubAccess there was missing brackets which bugged all the category child group accesses
- DisplayGroups clears the display of groups since the groups are not yet implemented
- Fix for discussbot which originally doesn't show the thread post number with title too long (>50 characters) or containing special characters like '" and so on.
I would be glad if at least some of them could be included in a next FB release
I can as well post the missing patches if there's an interest.
I would be also happy to get in touch with FB developers and somehow help to FB development but I'm very busy and have only a limited time available. Furthermore of programming I can help in french localization (I'm a french speaking swiss guy)
