OpenForum is on CodePlex

codeplex

OpenForum v0.8 (beta) is now available on CodePlex. Special thanks to Gunnar Peipman for the nice write-up on his blog, and also to Scott Hanselman for tweeting about it.

This latest release includes a few key missing features from my inital posting. Most important, there is now a wysiwyg editor for posts (using nicEdit) and the ability to search the forum (using Lucene.net). Also, the bin download now includes “view templetes”. This should give developers who want to change the actual html structure a big head start.

The plan for the next release is to provide a better default UI and a few other basic forum features. If there is anything you would like to see added, please let me know. Thanks to everyone who already provided feedback about how to make OpenForum even better.

    Hi,
    If i want to localize openforum (change interface language to hebrew), how should i go about and do this? Obviously this means changing everything to Right to Left layout, encoding, and translating all links and info.
    In addition, if i want to add an add image functionality when posting/replying what do i need to do?
    Can all this be done through the openfourm api given as reference within my project, or do i need to mess around with openforum source code?
    Thanks!

    @Eran - Sorry for the slow reply. Was on vacation. I think the easiest way to localize openforum would be to create your own custom views. You should be able to take the existing html (which you can grab from the source) and change as needed. Please let me know any issues you run into so I can make it an easier process for the next guy ;)
