I recently installed the WEC Discussion Forum and have found behavior that appears incorrect. I have built a temp page to display this behavior:

http://www.galileeumc.org/temp_pages/test/

I am using the forum as a moderated blog. The only user for this test blog is:

username:test
password:test

Login to the Front End then click the Edit link for the existing post.

As an aside, note that the button to save changes is labelled "Edit This Message". This, in an of itself, is problematic...my users expect a button with "Save" or "Submit" on it, which is what the "Edit This Message" button does. They have been very confused by this.

Click "Edit This Message" to save changes. The post is now awaiting moderation. Click the moderate button and approve the post.

Now, for the kicker, click the Edit link again for the existing post. Instead of taking you to the Edit screen like before, it throws you into the moderation screen. This, to me, clearly seems like a bug. Now, clicking "Go Back" creates an error itself.

For now, the moderator can log out and log back in to fix the problem, but this seems like a bug that should be fixed.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Hi Barry,

This is indeed a bug. Thanks for reporting this. I see the problem and it will be easy to fix. I am expecting to release a new version early next week of the Discussion forum, and can send you a pre-release on Friday if interested.

Thanks Dave! It is nice to know I am not going nuts...

Any chance you can change the "Edit this Message" button on the Edit Message page to something like "Save Changes"? (see previous post)

-Barry

Yeah, will do that too. Now that you pointed it out, it makes more sense to say "Save" or "Submit". Btw, you can change the local_lang labels in TS too...if you did not like how it is worded.

Dave -

Once you have released a new version will it show up as such when you search it in Import Extensions in the Extensions Manager?

Any idea of when the fix will be available so I can start looking for it?

Thanks!
