Title: Paid Add notes to topics
Post by: tareko on September 10, 2020, 10:34:47 AM
I need a mod that adds notes to topics. I have seen a Board and topics note in the mods section but it does not do what I want and furthermore it is unsupported. Anyhow I want the mod to be permission based. Users can add notes to own topics or all topics and users can view notes to own topics only or all topics. Afterwards it can be released here for free I don't care. Send me a message in prive to talk about price.

What the difference between a "note" and a standard reply which is already a basic feature, including permissions?

Actually Kindred, this can not be done with the standard reply. I was hired by tareko to code this mod for him. He wanted the note for each topic to be shown on top of the topic so it can be very noticable by all members who read the topic on every page of the topic.

Why not just use an announcement? Topics go off topic on every social media platform all the time. That's why you need admins and moderators.

The problem is that whenever someone asks for something here Kindred and some others always tell them why you want to do that and it can be done with this and that. My request was self explanatory. What was there to not understand. You can not add note to topics with replies. He made it like I was stupid to pay for something like could be done with the replies which was not the case.

Can you add and display announcements for each topic?

if you had explained in detail what you wanted, kindred would not have asked you for more details. telling us you wanted to add notes does not tell us exactly what function you want added.

In retrospect you are right I think. I thought that it was self explanatory but I guess I was wrong.
