Hey, as I read this board I just can't stand it anymore. I am going to build a new forum/BB system with CCS. I just wanted to be sure no one else was on this project. I will design it, and take input from all of you and update it accordingly. I would like some feedback on this idea, as the staff at codecharge is fairly busy. Please reply if I should not start this project, or if someone else is already on the case. I figure a week or two I should have it whipped. Thanks in advance. Also, if Yes software could please reply with some guidance, or maybe just a thumbs up, go ahead and do it. I don't want money, just an efficient BB. Thanks.
Jeremy

I'd go with one of the many good and free bulletinboards that are out there. My motto is: why build something yourself when somebody else has already done so and probable better then I could ever do and for free!!

That will only help if CodeCharge people join that new board! Replies to our problems mostly come from them.... Are you on CodeCharge people?

The purpose of me or someone else building the board would be to show off CCS ability and have a better BB. I would need someone from CC staff to say "yes, when you get it done we will use that in place of our current community". Then people will use it, if it's a replacement for this board. I am not suggesting having another site to run it off of. I want it right here, in place of this board. What do you think? Am I wacked outta my mind, or is the just as simple as I think it could be with a little input from the CC staff and users. Please reply CC staff.

If you can get CC buy in, I will supply the web space. Without CC buy in it will be useless.

Jeremy, go for it. I am also pained by this BB and would really like to see one put together using CCS with much more functionality. An area for exchanging plug-ins like Macromedia have would be great too.
I'm under the impression CC are working on revamping this site so am slightly surprised they've not replied to your post.
You have my vote anyway. I actually registered a domain for exchanging plugins for CCS but have had no time to do anything with it! If anyone makes a site and wants to use the domain (www.ccsexchange.com) then let me know and I'll point it to your site. After registering it I realised it could read cc sex change!!! Never mind.

Guys and gals. There has already been attempts to build new forums. Just look in User-submitted links. http://www.uotome.com/ccbb/main.php
This is an outstanding forum for Codecharge Users. The only problem is that NOBODY is using it!
This is and has been a great idea, but I think the effort is not just to buid one, but to migrate everyone to the new site. In addition, how are you going to import all of the historical data already here?
Regards,
George.

I just wanted to point-out that I'm not ready for C.C to have a sex change! I like it just how it is.

Ok first of all it's not a sex change, and second, read the posts before you post your own. The purpose is to show off what CCS can do, not to run some prebuilt forum. I agree, snitz and others are great, but that's not the purpose that the CC staff was out for.
As for importing the records, well there are many solutions for this. you could leave them in tact with an "archive" page with better search capabilities, and just start the new forum. Or you could use ecknowledge or some other product, do some data column mapping and move it to the new DB. It's not rocket science. If Codecharge is gonna continue making great products like they have, they need to also have a very nice web image of the company. Franky this forum looks very cheesy, and works "ok".
So as far as a sex change ....No....but keeping up with the rest of the crowd and making revisions is part of the game.

Look at macromedia....they have great products, and part of how they sell them is showing them off on their own web sites. Check out any of the sites, they are excellent looking and all utilize their own product. Oh, and they are doing very well as a company. I think a lot of that can be attributed to the use of their own products on their sites.

Hello :),
You have my VOTE!.
1. There are to many great products that come and and go. CC/CCS IS a GREAT product with a FANTASTIC future, that's for sure! The one place I'd love to see CCS show of it's true colours is a new forum with all the full stops taken out. If YesSoftware are already updating this forum, maybe you? and, us all could contribute something to the development of a new forum.
2. I'd also like to see more books on CC/CCS, I'm sure many CC/CCS users would purchase such books. I WOULD!
regards to ya ALL :).

Hey Jeremy, chill dude! I wasn't ripping your idea man. (And I was joking about the sex-change thing) I think that if you have the time and effort, than go for it. I DO READ THE POSTS.
As far as showing off what CCS can do, I think if your offering free development time to Yes, I'm sure they will be happy to hear that.
My point is this: As long as your idea gets endorsement and support by Yes, I think it will work. But Yes maybe improving theirs already. I think we can all agree that the real effort should be to create a more IMPROVED forum. Not neccessarily one that was "Build using Codecharge". What I was saying was that this effort has been done before, with (seems like) little attention.
I wholeheartily hope that Yes buys off on your idea and efforts and joins in once your completed building one.
Regards,
g.

And BTW, I too think that this forum is cheesy(to say the least).
I would speculate though, that ever since C.C.S was released, they have decreased their available time to updating their web-sites.

I think a new forum would be helpful but I really want some documentation, actually in book form. I understand object based programming but don't know the correct syntax for certain functions.
One thing I would like to do is dynamically change the content value of a text label from HTML back to Text. I just don't have a good example. I think it would be something like
Object->Label->Content(HTML) or Content(Text) but content is a property so I need some kinda of assign. Is it
Object->Label-Content =HTML; or TRUE or FALSE
I just don't know
So go for the better forum ... or use a newsgroup

Hi,
i would like to help building a forum, i have several sites i am building, all needing a forum. At least i would like to give some input to the design. (i am not a hot-shot programmer)
So a forum around a userID would have my preference.

I agree with more documentation or "examples" for syntax. If any of you have ever used lotus domino to develope then you know all about examples. Yes software should fire up the lotus notes client designer and check out the help. They have every formula and fuction listed with multiple examples for each. Also they have lotusscript and javascript examples for every supported property/method. I really think this is time consuming, but in the end will make your product what it is....a RAD tool.

Jeremy,
You mentioned Macromedia, but they don't even have forums, only newsgroups.
I am scanning CC forums from time to time and I'm seeing useful information and this is sufficient for me. I only agree that splitting these forum into 2 parts, CC and CCS, would be very useful.
Why would you need this forum to be any more sophisticated though?

Macromedia does have a forum at the Exchange site (www.macromedia.com/exchange/dreamweaver) but it's not much more powerful than here. However, their exchange does have a great deal that Yes Software could do with implementing. The facility of users creating plug-ins, submitting them to the exchange so others can search for them and download them would be great for CCS users.
I agree with you completely that CC and CCS needs separating. Also, some way of splitting posts according to the scripting and database language would be good too. I keep finding a solution to a problem only to discover it's for ASP when I want PHP or vice-versa.
A field in the post which asks what it relates to would assist searching greatly.
Finally, can Yes Software please respond to this thread and say whether they have plans for GotoCode or whether we should do our own?
Cheers,
Jon

I guess Jon answered for me. the new forum is to seperate and organize....makes life much easier when you don't have all day to spend searching for one piddly little answer. Newer forums are much better organized and easier to search on....among other things. And it shows off the product.
Thanks,
Jeremy

A truly noble undertaking however...
Have nyou looked at the free forums offered at Snitz? I don't know if you can get the Snitz forums for anything but ASP but hey, the work well.

The sooner the better. I am probably posting questions that have already been answered, I just can't find the answer after trying 10 or 15 different searches.
Would also be nice if there was a list of the questions I asked, and eMail notification when a reply posted, like Experts-Exchange.Com
And while it would be great if everything was in one place, the best board will live, the others won't. If it works better then that is where the people will go.
