Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/18795 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: forum.module Category: feature requests Priority: normal Assigned to: Anonymous Reported by: nysus Updated by: nysus Status: active Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/forum_10.patch (0 bytes) Revised patch attached. It addresses problems noted by others in my original patch. However, this patch revision does not address drumm's recommendation to hide the message from anauthorized users. Unless I'm mistaken, users without the permission to administer forums will receive an "Access denied" message and would not see the help message anyway. Please correct me if I'm wrong on this. nysus Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 12, 2005 - 15:24 : nysus Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/forum_patch.patch (412 bytes) Here's another usability improvement to the forum. Rather than return no table when no containers or forums exist, a message is displayed inside the table telling the user that no containers or forums exist and how to create a new one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 17, 2005 - 13:10 : drumm +1 for the functionality. -1 for the specific implementation. Other places in the code use em rather than strong. The colspan attribute should be used to stretch this row across the whole table. The instructions on the second line could be a good idea, but should be hidden if the user does not have permissions to do that action. Do we want to update other places to do the same thing? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 17, 2005 - 13:18 : Steven Not to mention missing t()'s... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 23, 2005 - 16:25 : Dries Waiting for a new patch. Marking this 'active'.
