= Discussion forum plugin = == Description == The DiscussionPlugin adds discussion forums to Trac. An arbitrary number of forums can be added, and each forum has a list of moderators who can block posts, etc. Plugin is administrated directly with apropriate rights for now but WebAdminPlugin support is planned. == Bugs/Feature Requests == Existing bugs and feature requests for DiscussionPlugin are [report:9?COMPONENT=DiscussionPlugin here]. If you have any issues, create a [http://trac-hacks.org/newticket?component=DiscussionPlugin&owner=Blackhex new ticket]. == Download == download:discussionplugin == Source == You can check out the source for DiscussionPlugin from Subversion at http://trac-hacks.org/svn/discussionplugin. == Installation == After installing plugin's egg you can set in trac.ini configuration file following variables: {{{ [discussion] title = Discussion }}} If you run Trac in environment which needs to enable plugins explicitly put in trac.ini these lines: {{{ [components] tracdiscussion.init.discussioninit = enabled tracdiscussion.timeline.discussiontimeline = enabled tracdiscussion.wiki.discussionwiki = enabled tracdiscussion.admin.discussionwebadmin = enabled tracdiscussion.core.discussioncore = enabled }}} The next step is to upgrade your environment: {{{ # trac-admin upgrade }}} == Permissions == Discussion plugin defines four permissions. With DISCUSSION_VIEW permission you can view all topics and you can post replies to them with DISCUSSION_APPEND permission. DISCUSSION_MODERATE permission gives you rights to delete replies or topics where are you defined as moderator. DISCUSSION_ADMIN permission gives you administrator rights to create, modify or delete forum groups, forums and topics. You can add these permissions by typing following commands from commandline or you can use WebAdminPlugin to do it for you. {{{ # trac-admin permission add DISCUSSION_VIEW # trac-admin permission add DISCUSSION_APPEND # trac-admin permission add DISCUSSION_MODERATE # trac-admin permission add DISCUSSION_ADMIN }}} == Macros == There are few wiki macros available: {{{ [forum: ] }}} Displays link to forum with id and text .
