[Coursework-help] Lets-Talk integrated in Coursework?

[Sam O. <sa...@lo...>]

Hi all,

Quick question about discussion software integrated into Coursework....

I can't find any reference to Lets-Talk in the Coursework CVS or in the 
RC1 tarball.  Am I missing something?  Do I need to integrate the 
lets-talk source into the Coursework source and adjust the builds 
accordingly?  The only references to discussion board software I see in 
2.5 are to linking to third-party discussion boards.

Thanks,
Sam

The Lets Talk software is a Cocoon application that is mounted under the 
discuss directory. You must have a Cocoon servlet mapped in web.xml and 
the sitemap.xmap configured correctly. From memory the 2.1 release and 
2.5 RC1 releases both have discussion built in, just activate the tool 
when using a course. If you want to use a 3rd party discussion server 
like panfora, you will need to change the Discussion tool class to use 
that instead.

It might be worth a check in 2.5 to make certain that the integration 
was done and that we didnt just leave it out (by mistake). Remember that 
the 2.5 port was a port from the Oracle version and not an upgrade from 
the 2.1 on postgres release.

Sam,
I've started a task to get Lets-Talk ported to 2.5 its quite a quick job 
( hopefully).
