Write Message token  (India)

On PokerDIY you have "Write Message" for posting to wall. Can you please share the token for the same. I want it on my site as well.

Re: Write Message token  (Australia)

Hi,

That is not a Token - it is a normal Module Container Action. Change to a default DNN container if you cannot see it to see what I mean. (This may be a good Feature request though to make this a token for more flexibility)


Thanks
Rodney

Re: Write Message token  (Australia)

All modules and text can be localised in the usual manner using the Language Editor.

Re: Write Message token  (United States)

Rodney,

Is there another way to fire up the new topic functionality? Our containers do not display the action buttons. Maybe there is some java script command I can put in the header of the module?

Right now this is one of the biggest issues I see with this module...it is NOT intuitive how to create a new post. Also creating a header/footer sections where your tokens can work will be good - the way Ventrian is setting up their tempates.

Thanks.

Ivan

Re: Write Message token  (United States)

to asnwer my own questions - you can just put some text in your module container header and hyperlink it to the url that shows when you have the text "there are not posts, be the first one to post something..."

Re: Write Message token  (Australia)

I am hoping this issue is going to go away in the next version when I add the Textbox to the top of the module like Facebook, but I just modified my containers and put the moduleaciton at the top.

I was considering a header/footer template, but I don't like skipping the recommend route of ModuleActions as it is designed like this so the UI logic is abstracted and so skinners can make the containers how they like. Templates do also make this possible, but it is not the standard I have to code in the same checks that the ModuleActions interface performs. For example, if you wanted to change the look and feel of all your module actions site wide you would just upload a new container - if you use templates you would have to change each module.

With the new "Post Comment" token at item level, I am actually planning on removing my Module Action complete from the Wall container I use - when there are no posts it says "Be the first to post" otherwise there's the Post Comment at each level. Lets see how the next version shapes up (with the textbox on top)...

 


Thanks
Rodney

Re: Write Message token  (United States)

Post Comment is good....but at the topic level is not the most intuitive - it is really a header level action. People nowadays expect things to be right in front of their eyes.

Header/footer is actaully a great way to go about it as containers are separate from the presentation in them (if you use containers at all). It allows tokens to work not on the topic level but on the header/footer level. So if I want to say - Ivan's Wall or click here to see Ivan's pictures or what ever...all I need is a header and an USERID token (for the wall "owner")

I guess we will have to create a new container with a module action button allowed for now.

Re: Write Message token  (Australia)

Ok, I will try and get this into the next version (header and footer). I am adjusting my container (removing the link completely for now)

Re: Write Message token  (Australia)

Please note that the Wall version 4.3.3 has now been released which contains a new token and a Facebook-style textbox for posting.


Thanks
