I just want users to type the topic title only. Would this be possible?
Your mean a topic set to empty. You can do the following, but I don’t see any need of creating a topic with 0 content:
Example: <div align=center> <characters> </div>
It will appear to public as empty, but inside the post you have that format ^
Thank you.
Well, I want to create a forum where people post short questions only. That’s why I only want people to just type their question in the title.
But then other people can come and answer by replying, just like a normal forum.
So, I would like to hide the content box just for when posting a new topic, but not for when replying. Would this be possible?
I hope you get what I mean.
Why don’t they include the questions in the content post, and a small brief of the question as a title? What you say is not possible.
How about just changing the minimum number of characters in the content post to 0?
It sounds like you may be wanting a Question - Answer app more than an app for Discussion.
eg. title: “What is the best Ember based forum app?”
post content: n/a
vs.
title: “What is the best Ember based forum app?”
post content: “I am looking for a forum app that runs more like a desktop app than a traditional forum experience. My shop knows Ember well so I am leaning more towards Ember. Free would be ideal. Anyone have suggestions and why? TIA”
Which would be more likely to encourage a discussion? Which would be more likely to get meaningful replies?
Granted, I don’t know your community, just saying if you truly need no content posts you may want to give your choice of platform some thought.
Set min first post length(maybe other posting setting, not sure) to 0 and you need to customize the new topic’s composer like hide the content editor or build your own one, I think is possible to do what your say.
Der Mindestwert ist leider auf 1 festgelegt. Das ist etwas ärgerlich, da Nutzer nicht einfach nur mit Bildern antworten können und oft einen Punkt eingeben müssen, um die Anforderung von einem Zeichen zu erfüllen. Offensichtlich eine Kleinigkeit, aber es wäre schön, wenn man diese Option zumindest auf 0 anpassen könnte oder wenn Bilder in einem Beitrag die Regel für das eine Zeichen außer Kraft setzen würden.
Ich bin auf eine ähnliche Anforderung gestoßen, bei der das Topic Ratings-Plugin verwendet wird, und möchte, dass Benutzer den Beitragstext falls eine Bewertung eingereicht wird, vollständig weglassen können.
Ich habe es mit einem Plugin gelöst:
Es erlaubt, «min first post length» auf 0 zu setzen.
