I have some additional thoughts around bugs and features that I didn't see specifically mentioned in the other pages for this product (btw 26 pages is a lot of feedback).
Bugs (or so I think):
-----
1. After you login to VB and then try to access the wordpress administration page you have to enter try to do so two times before it works. Here is what I mean:
I go to
http://www.mysite.com/forum and login successfully. I can now see my forum home page. I decide to create a post and head over to
http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin to do so. When I type that into the browser bar and press enter i am redirected back to the main forum page. If I do it a second time it works as expected. I can recreate this if you need to see it (PM me for the real address).
2. (This might be WP bug as well.) When I create a wordpress post using the Visual Rich Editor that post might have quotes around text. Standard quotes seem to post to both WP and VB just fine. However they could also be fancy quotes. These seem to post to WP okay but they show up as
in the forum thread. Again I have examples of this if you want to see them.
Features
-----
1. The form widget that gets added the post creation page in wordpress that is used to select which forum you want to put your post in could be more useful. Right now it is just a list of all your forums including subcategories. The problem is that if you have more than one subcategory with the same name under a forum you don't have a reference of relationship to work with to chose the proper one. I would like to see two things related to this.
A.) A wider form widget. I would like to see it wider and longer which would help my second "like to have".
B.) Displayed relationships between Top Level and Sub Category (even if only one level). Here is what I envision. This would show the forums in a logic order and would show the subcategory relation to the parent.
Top Level Forum 1
--> Subcategory 1
--> Subcategory 2
Top Level Forum 2
--> Subcategory 1
--> Subcategory 2
Top Level Forum 3
--> Subcategory 1
--> Subcategory 2
Question:
-----
1. Now that VB 3.6.7 is out are you going to make any significant updates to this plug-in to support that version? That is assuming anything is really needed. Mainly just a curious question.
Thanks again for your work on this plugin. It is working great for us with only few minor irritations.
