Poetic/Account Options

Post by TheVorpalPig? »

Milords,

I am attempting to start a poetry/short story site, and my friends keep saying PHPBB is the ticket, and I agree that PHPBB rocks the socks, but I keep telling them, "I need more than a forum board," and they respond saucily, saying things like, "You just need to check their Add-Ons YO! They got all the resources you would want!"

Sadly, I've searched, and maybe I've searched poorly but I can't find an Add-On for users to post their content to their own personalized profile along with forum options. Ironically, I want both. Forums for discussion and personalized accounts where users can write, store, and show off their written works. Would you have such a feature for this amazing product?

Thank You,
The Vorpal Pig

What do I need here? Hm.
What do I need here. Hm.
They've brought such a question to my question.
Now I must question their question to my question.
And now I must admire the lines of their "KA-POW!"
GASP! I am devastated.
So straightforward.
So to the point.
So perfect.

In short, I need what I indicated previously: a forum with options for user accounts to store short stories and poems. If you like I'm happy to repeat myself in poetic and even non-poetic forms.

Let me know, Yo.
I'm good to go.
Good to go until we grow.
Or implode like a wealthy submarine.
OH LOOK A NECATRINE!!

I'm glad you liked my haiku 😂

In non-poetic form: when you say 'store', do you mean like a private list that only the user can view or perhaps something a bit more public as in profile comments where a poem could be posted against the user's account (instead of posted inside a forum)?

Ignore the above as I've just realised nou nou has linked to an extension I've just described!

Alas, I've yet to study Haiku and didn't recognize the brilliance of your response, and that's on me for certain. I tend to rush forward, and I appreciate this moment. Do great things. May bright moments come to you.

Profile Portfolio

Post by TheVorpalPig? »

Milords,

I seek an option to have users build a portfolio of written works (poems, short-stories, ideas) accessible from each of their account profiles. I've researched https://www.canidev.com/store/cbb-follower?lang=en and it's spiffy, but it doesn't quite offer the options I need, it's close, but not close enough.

Theory: perhaps an extension that creates a hidden forum upon registration within which the user can create their portfolio (using all the native forum writing tools of phpbb) and have the forum/portfolio accessible via their account profile?

Would this be within scope of possibility or snafu-ery? These are thoughts that I think. Hm. Yes.

Milord, thank you for your quick response yet I'm unsure at this point as this extensions 'demo url' is not in service. And this appears to be a somewhat older innovation? I'll need to install it on my board, tinker around, and report back. Thankee Sai!

Report back soon.
