Discussion — forum#
The smallest module.
Every resource offers the standard set of actions
get, get-by, get-all, save, update-columns, delete, delete-all —
unless stated otherwise. See the CRUD pattern.
Resources#
| Resource | Note |
|---|---|
message |
post — tree, owner, event |
category |
category — tree |
message-report |

message-vote |

A thread and a post are one thing#
A reply is a post with a parent post. The nesting makes the tree.
delete-node on an opening post deletes the whole thread
Other people's replies included.
Who may write#
This is governed by a global site setting, not by per-category permissions.
Per-category permissions do not exist
You cannot make one category public and another members-only.
| Case | code |
errorCode |
|---|---|---|
| a new post with an e-mail or IP address on the blacklist | 615 |
blacklisted |
| a comment on a post whose author switched comments off | 607 |
commentsClosed |
| a guest comment when the site allows comments only from signed-in users | 400 |
commentOnlyForLoggedIn |
Comments on posts are the comment resource of the Base module.
What the module lacks#
| Missing | Substitute |
|---|---|
| Locking a thread | the allow-comments flag, or deactivation |
| Disabling a category | a category has no active flag |
| Paid access | only promotion is paid for |
The category's free flag has no effect
It is in the data but is never evaluated.
