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.

• 2009-02-06 21:55:57: Experimental WYSIWYG editor for the forum is now in SVN trunk !
  Thanks to the great work of lootgoal there is now a WYSIWYG editor for SCT forum posts! It is still deactivated by default, but i would appreciate testers and feedback!
  
  Feel free to test it out in the Sandbox forum! (Simply appending the GET parameter 'wysiwyg=1' enables it)

• 2008-11-08 12:23:23: Forum: Slug URLs for threads and categories
  The Board application now has by default slugified URLs. The slug is simply added to the end of the URL and is completely ignored. Old links are still valid.
  
  This behavior can be disabled using SPH_SETTINGS['board_slugify_links'] = False
  
  (In addition the /board/ URL is no longer a redirection to /board/show/0/)

  If you want to tell the world that your site is based on SCT you can do so now by using one of many Badges.
  
  Thanks to Iain Mac Donald who creating them.

• 2008-09-03 22:13:09: Support for django 1.0
  I have just updated this website to the latest version of django (from the SVN trunk which should represent django 1.0) - and fixed all remaining problems.
  
  This should make SCT pretty much compatible with django 1.0. The only problem left is search integration with djapian. As soon as django 1.0 is released, i'm satisfied that SCT will work with it quite stable (i don't receive error mails ) I will probably release SCT 0.5 which will stay compatible with django 1.0
