Nuxeo Forum

Nuxeo Forum brings forums into the Nuxeo Platform. A forum is a discussion space in which users can talk together. A forum is organized around different topics, in which users can add comments. Topics and comments are displayed in threads.

Installation

This addon requires no specific installation steps. It can be installed like any other package with nuxeoctl command line or from the Update Center.

Functional Overview

As for workspaces and sections, the access to a forum is defined by permissions. Forum permissions are the same as workspace permissions. However, in the case of a moderated topic, some users are declared "moderators" and are in charge of the approval of the topic content.

Forum creation and edition are available for users with "Edit" and "Manage" permissions. Users with "Manage" permissions can also manage the forum like a workspace, i.e. give users permissions, set alerts and manage the forum's trash.
