Re: Forum with sub headings

Hi
How feasible would it be to modify existing OpenEuhoria forum code to adopt forum sections, eg introduce yourself, euphoria programming, gui programming, general, off topic etc?
This would be trivial to implement. The sole reason that it hasn't happened is due to opposition to the concept.
I know it is written in Eu, but where is that trumpeted?
http://openeuphoria.org/wiki/view/AboutWebsite.wc
A link to that page is at the bottom of almost every web page on this site, including the home page.
Also is the forum code open source - and modifiable for other communities? What a great eu advert that would be. Imagine something as powerful as phpBB, yet easier to understand and mod.

Yes, it's available from SCM here: http://scm.openeuphoria.org/hg/euweb/
Along with euCreole here: http://scm.openeuphoria.org/hg/creole/
And edbi here: http://jeremy.cowgar.com/edbi/
(It might have moved to http://bitbucket.org/jcowgar/edbi though.)
And WebClay here: http://bitbucket.org/jcowgar/webclay/overview
AFAIK no one's put together an easy-to-install package, though this is not that hard to do.
Hi Jim
Thanks for those, fantastic, but kind of rest my case really (that of Eu is great, but only for those that already use it)
Ok, so if its trivial to implement sub headings, is it also trivial to implement user view choice - ie list view (as now) with a button to switch forum view (which I would recommend as the default)?
I recognise there has been forum member resistance, but my argument is (and incidentally always has been) that it looks dated, compared to most other languages out there, and that is the arena that eu competes in.
