BeeHeard is a UserVoice-like Joomla! component that allows users that visit and use your site to provide feedback based on the categories listed. This easy to use component allows users to post suggestions to the categories that are published. Users can then vote on the suggestions and post comments to the suggestions. There are many features that allow you to control who is allowed to create suggestions, vote and post comments.
There are a few add-ons that allow integration with social networking components and modules to display top voted or most recent suggestions in a category or among all categories.
New Version 1.5.3:
Site:
- Added option for a Rich Text Editor. With this feature it resulted in increasing the length of characters for category description, suggestion description and comment text which is a feature many have requested.
- Added reCAPTCHA when entering Suggestions or Comments as Guest user. In the Configurations if you enter the public and private keys it will activate the reCAPTCHA for Guest users. For more information on reCAPTCHA visit http://www.google.com/recaptcha
- Added functionality to allow whether or not users want to be notified via email and still allowing them to supply their email address. In previous version it was determined by the email address if entered, it would automatically send a notification email when a suggestion was posted. Now users can input email address and turn on/off notifications. This also fixed a bug in which when a user when back to edit their suggestion, it would always default the Email Notification option back to Yes even if it was set to No previously.
- Added option to display the created date for the suggestion in category details view/suggestions list after Created by user. Now can display “Created by User on July 04, 2010”.
- Added count of total suggestions and new suggestions to moderator’s category list view.
- Added "back to the list of categories" link in category details and filtered lists of suggestions.
Admin:
- Added User’s Email Address and Email Notification setting to suggestion edit view.
- Added number of comments as an entry in each suggestions row in the list view.
Bug Fixes:
- Tab/spacing of list of categories when a parent category with child categories was unpublished.
- Prevent from assigning category as its own parent category while editing a category.
- Prevent blank suggestion title, suggestion description and comment to be entered.
- Allowing suggestions/comments created by users to be edited/deleted was sometimes not being allowed due to conflict with earlier feature for integration with third-party social networking components.
- Fixed comment edit where it didn’t show the comment to edit due to conflict with pagination feature.
- Made a few changes to removed deprecated PHP functions as of version 5.3.
Version 1.5.2:
- Fixed "controller" file inclusion vulnerability.
Version 1.5.1 Features/Fixes:
- Added option to use third-party commenting components which include JComments, !JoomlaComment and JomComment as BeeHeard's commenting framework.
- Enhanced readability of backend views’ lists by adding parent category name, suggestion title, user name to Categories, Suggestions, Comments and Votes view.
- Fixed bug that would not allow you to change the user id of the creator of the suggestion, category or comment in the backend. You can now reassign an item to another user. For instance, someone posted something as Guest and now wants it under their registered username.
- Added option to remove the Category, Suggestion Title, Suggestion Description in the suggestion details view where it lists the comments.
- Added option to display the total number and new number of suggestions in the category’s list underneath each category's description.
- Added pagination (allows list to be separated into different pages) to the list of suggestions and to the list of comments (if using BeeHeard’s own commenting framework). The number of items to list is determined by Joomla’s List Length setting in Global Configuration. This speeds up the load of the page by not needing to retrieve all suggestions or comments upon load but only the limit set in the configurations.
