Feature Request for Mambo SMF Bridge

<< < (2/3) > >>

Vedm:
Gee, yesterday I thought the same - that "discuss this article in SMF" would be a great feature. Came here to write a request, but here it is before me. Wise people think alike. :D

As I know, this mambot (Two Shoes) allows the user to create a forum topic titled "Discussion of {section name} article {decr. from article title}", and after that checks for answers added.
First string of created topic contains the address (URL) of original Article, or intro text with "read more", without its full contents (because if article has 20000+ symbols, it could be a problem), then goes <hr>, and then message area.

Orstio, if you create such a mambot for SMF - the whole bridge could become the one of the best CMS-to-forum bridge ever done, IMHO.

Perhaps, have a seperate board-forum set for discussion topics, have the link start a topic (or search for an existing topic) with the same name as the news item.

Acutally, now that I think about it, this should be fairly simple to implement, in terms of the SMF calls...   the Mambo addition is something I know nothing about, however.

This is exactly what I'm talking about.

Vedm:
So, is there any chance of getting such a feature in near future?

Orstio:
I have contacted the person who made that MOSBot for Simpleboard.  I think it can be done with just a few changes to the SQL queries.  ;)

Vedm:
Ah, nice! Can't wait to get my hands on it! ;)
If anything - I'm the first for alphatesting. ;D
