Note A running version for TYPO3 v11 is in the v11 branch. It is not fully tested and migration will require manual work. Please do not update without a testing system and a backup!

The typo3_forum is a frontend plugin that adds a discussion board to your TYPO3-based website. The extension was originally written to be used for discussing questions about TYPO3 in the TYPO3 portal TYPO3.net by Mittwald CM Service.

The extension currently consists of 9 different plugins. These plugins provide the following features:

• "Dashboard": Displays the logged in user's personal data, subscriptions and posts. It is meant to be extended as a hub for all externally added user management tools (profile editing, direct messaging, etc.).
• "Forum": Offers all the basic functionalities of a fully-featured discussion board, including subforums, topics and posts contained in these threads.
• "Forum Statistics Box": A small box that displays numeric statistics about the forum (member count, post count, topic count). Can be extended by third parties.
• "Moderation: Manage reports": List of all reported posts, to be managed by moderators.
• "Post List": Gives a list of all posts or only the most recent posts, including a preview of the rendered post text.
• "Tag List": Tags offer the possiblity to categorize topics and to search topics by tags. They can be freely created by users.
• "Topic List": Gives different overviews over the topics users create: latest topics, popular topics, latest questions as well as a list of unsolved questions.
• "User List": Different kinds of user lists: all users, most helpful users, currently online users.
• "User profile": Displays user profiles, including all specified userfields, rank and their latest activity.

Migration is only possible from mm_forum 1.0. until typo3_forum version 1.1.0

• Move AJAX from dispatcher to middleware and refactor
• UnitTesting
• Notifications (for subscriptions and for third parties to hook into the dashboard with something like a private messaging system)
• More moderation options
  • Disabling users, including temporarily
  • User reports
• Replace all PageBrowser-Partials with the generic Control/PageBrowser one, or replace it with a ViewHelper that renders pagination links based on innerChildClosure.
• Setup code analysis and CI/CD properly, currently it all seems rather dead
