BulletinBoard Application

Add a Bulletin Board to your wiki !

This application aims at providing XWiki users with a basic yet effective Bulletin Board feature. Full installation instructions are available on the Bulletin Board Download Page.

Bulletin Board Home

The Bulletin Board Application works as a standard XWiki Application. It gives you the possibility to create new categories and discuss topics within them. Creating a new category is allowed only to admins, who can do so from a field on the Bulletin Board's front page. Then new topics can be created within existing categories.

Categories

The Bulletin Board can be divided into categories according to the wishes of its admins. Admins can delete categories, topics as well as individual messages. Each category has a title as well as a short descriptions of its subject. RSS Feeds are available for the whole Bulletin Board as well as for every single category.

Topics

Conversation are built sorted in topics. Each topics has its own thread of replies. You can quote previous messages and answer them. As of now, it is recommended that the number of messages on any given topic page does not exceed 50 to keep an acceptable level of performance.

Bulletin Board Skin

The current Bulletin Board Skin has been chosen to match Albatross, Toucan & Colibri's color schemes. Its look can be adapted to suit another website's needs easily. All the CSS is stored on the BBCode.Skin wiki page. Edit it in wiki mode, change the values you need to and you're done !
