Analysis

Overview

Keeps forum healthy.

Task requirements

Since migration there are no moderators left (or trac said so). Identify the issue and add moderators if needed.

• Ask someone else to post a forum topic
• Try to moderate it (edit it, then delete it) using your own account
• If needed, edit the group moderators and add them moderating permissins
• Create a forum Recycle Bin for moving locked topics there.
• Review forum regularly and clean it if needed.
• Research using RSS in forums and add this feature if possible

Task result

Maintained forum.

Implementation idea

• Ask pac to give you permissions to review existing situation of the forums and forum options such as rss.

How to demo

Explain what is done in a sentence

Design

• See if team members do have forum admin permissions (add if no)
• See if registered users do have forum admin permissions (remove if yes)
• Check whether a moderator can edit and move topics
• Check whether one can edit own message
• Create a Recycle Bin forum
• Create a test account by signing up.
• Create a new topic in the Offtopic or the I need help forum
• Sign out, log in with your own account, edit the topic and move it to the Recycle Bin forum.
• Visit ​http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracRss and trac hacks to research a solution for the forums.

  Note: Different modules provide different data in their RSS feeds. Usually, the syndicated information corresponds to the current view. For example, if you click the RSS link on a report page, the feed will be based on that report. It might be explained by thinking of the RSS feeds as an alternate view of the data currently displayed. 
  

• Send an IM notifying that RSS is available for the forums, suggest to include this into the blog.

Implementation

• Team members do have forum moderator permissions for all topics. (Includes moving and deleteing)
• Registered users do have editing own posts permissions
• Recycle bin topic is created 19
• Used existing test account
• Created a new topic, asked kyli to edit it and moved it in the Recycle bin.
• RSS is available by choosing timeline with only checked forum checkbox and desired days set, then clicking the amber rss at the bottom of page. Gives this http://sophie2.org/trac/timeline?discussion=on&max=50&daysback=90&format=rss
• Announced the RSS in the developers chat
• Forum is reviewed daily

Testing

Comments

• The forum look is not good at all. Fixing some issues (the navigation, the IDs, the outline, etc.) or migrating to another forum would be a good idea, since it may become useful in the next releases. --kyli
