1. Django Forum and Wiki application

Sphene Community Tools currently consist of two full-featured django applications meant to be as pluggable as possible so they can be easily integrated into any django project:

• Community - The base for the other modules. Provides generic functionality like login/logout and user profiles.
• Wiki - Easily manage content on your Website using a simple markup language.
• Forum Application / Message Board - Build a community in hierarchical forum categories, including sticky threads, polls, permission system (anonymous posts using captchas), and more.
  • The forum can easily be extended using "category types" making it perfect for many types of user submitted content. Two examples are the Blog and LinkList applications.

It trys to adhere mostly to the "Do's and Don'ts For Application Writers" - any applications which should work smoothly together with SCT should do the same.

• 2008-03-16 13:53:02: Translations, poll sorting and latest posts of a user
  A small status update from SCT trunk:
  
  

  • All three main applications (Community, Forum and Wiki) have translation strings and are translated to german (the forum also in polish). - You can try it out by selecting another language to the left of this site below the navigation.
    
  • Polls are now finally sorted correctly
    
  • You can now see the number of posts a user made as well as the latest 10 posts in the user's profile.
    

  
  
  I think it is time for a 0.4 release - so I will now start to complete all issues marked for 0.4 in the next few weeks. If you have any feature wishes which should get priority, let me know in the forums.

  the trunk version of SCT now uses {{ MEDIA_URL }} when referring to static media files. this requires you to add 'django.core.context_processors.media' to your TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS in your settings.py to keep SCT working (the tutorial and communitydraft's settings.py are updated)
