The Smart-Thinker Wall module allows you to attach a Facebook-style Wall to a Group, Event, UserProfile or other entity. This allows users to collaborate, discuss or simply leave comments (It is not designed to replace the Forums module).This was a sponsored enhancement/project and is based loosely on the Facebook Wall design and is fully templatable/localisable so you can change the look and feel to match your site.
To see this module in action, have a look at my PokerDIY profile, this poker group, this poker event, or this custom entity, a live poker league. Feel free to log in and test the wall, but please bear in mind this is a live, working site, so leave sensible comments (the Wall is usually at the very bottom, under the other entity).
You can download a free trial version for your own site here. NOTE: This module requires DNN 4.6.0 as it uses the core token replacement functionality. If you are using friend integration for Wall security it requries The Smart-Thinker UserProfile module version 4.3.11.
Enhancements
- *Sponsored Enhancement* - New Setting for "Logged On User" instead of "Passed-In" (to use Wall in a "HomePage" type environment. UserProfile Walls can now pull from other Walls for that User, or only from that Wall
- Default Templates now follow Facebook-style WallActions - reload your templates to get the new look!
- New Token [WRITEONWALL] displays a "Post Comment" at WallPost level (this functions the same as the New Topic module action in the container)
- New Token [REPLYONWALL] displays a "Post Reply" at WallPost level (this is for item level in threaded mode)
- New Token [WRITEONAUTHORWALL] which links to the post authors wall so you can write on their wall
- New Token [SENDPRIVATEMESSAGELINK] which displays a link to send the post author a message via PM
- New Token [COUNTRYFLAG], which displays the flag of the post author's country. This will be rolled out across all modules that supports a location (e.g. Event and Group Country)
- New Token [DELETELINK], which displays a Delete Link on each post (can be used on Item Template and PostDetail Item Template
- New Token [PROFILEIMAGESMALL], used for list views to display the profile image at 50*50
- Token [EDITPOST] no longer displays an image so that it matches the WallAction styles of the above new tokens
- Added ModuleTitle.LoggedOut language string to WallTopics.ascx.resx - Can be used to display a message in the module title when logged out (Default: "{0} - Log in join this conversation". {0} is the Module Setting Title. Leave blank to not use)
- Wall Posts now sort by CreatedDate and not ChangedDate (when you edited a post it moved to the top which meant it was no longer in context to the posts around it).
- Refactored IsEventOwner and IsEventGuest caching checks from Wall module into the Events module (requires Events 4.3.7 which requires DNN 4.6.0+ Only)
- Refactored CheckUserProfileFriend caching checks from Wall module into UserProfile module (4.3.11)
- Updated DNN Manifest file to do version compatiblity checking on install
Bugs
- ModuleSettings screen now checks for invalid TabID for integration options (refactored code)
- Fixed problems with Profile Pics when Portal used non-numeric Portal Directory
- Removed PostDetail Delete Module Action which had not been implemented (later version)
