Version: 3.0.0 RC1 Rev.3

Description :

Agora 3.0 has completely changed. It is now more sleek and compact. CSS templates have been rewritten to facilitate the changes to anyone with little technical knowledge on the subject. Agora has been tested with RocketTheme, and JoomlaShack many templates designed by leading designers to ensure that stability and robustness are improved. LUS Topics / unread in Agora 2.5.5 and previous versions Topics READ / NO READ

depended on setting the time on the panel administrator. When you read new topics, they were declared unread until the end of your session. It was click "Mark all topics read" for that to change. The new system has overcome this. Now, any matter covered and is read immediately marked as read.

Uploading images in messages

Agora In 3.0 when you click on an image included in a message, the image appears in Lightbox instead appear in a new window, which makes the display much clearer and more pleasant to eye. Spiece joined the other work the same way. You can upload as many images and files that the wishes and once you choose to "insert" an image or file, the Lightbox disappears. Attach images and files becomes a snap for members of your forum and winning ease of use, speed and efficiency.

User groups management groups

in Agora 3.0 is significantly improved. This is our finest achievement to Agora 3.0 and other improvements are coming in Agora 3.0 RC. For now we can create as many groups as is desired. The same goes for sub-groups whose permissions depend on a parent. You can create categories for a group, select which group has access rights to these categories and assign an administrator to this group. A registered member can be a director of the group without necessarily being a director of Joomla. Administrator group can proceed with the establishment of forums and additional sub-forums and assign moderators.

A group administrator has the power to run a forum, but it is limited to one group and only one forum. A group administrator can now manage his forum without access to the control panel of Joomla administrator. The default Agora called "Global". A director of the Global manages all groups. But a Global moderator is the moderator of this group alone. So by declaring admins and moderators must ensure they are trustworthy. The administrator can go to any board of directors of any group like yourself who are an administrator. The groups below admins can not access the control panel of the Global (ie your administration panel).

Roles and Groups

In the Agora 3.0 levels of users based on roles. There are 4 roles to users: Administrator, Moderator, Member, and Guest. You can declare a user member of a group, another administrator, and moderator of a third. Members can belong to many groups and play a different role in each group to which they belong. Each group can become a mini Agora within your site. Each group can create forums and assign moderators and each admin can grant permissions and access rights. At first glance, this may seem a little confusing, but the leaves are in general. I am sure many of you will have to ask me questions, but this is only an overview written in simple terms. We will be more explicit in future to avoid possible confusion.

Warnings and exclusions

The exclusion is another significant improvement of Agora. It is in no way curtail the intrusions into your Joomla site. The exclusion of a user does not extradite him to connect to a site Joomla. The total exclusion of users of a site must be made using the user manager for Joomla. In Agora, excluded any user is found only in the inability to post messages in the forum.

In the administration panel you can set a system of warnings. You can send an unlimited number of warnings, all of them in the form of points and time penalty.

If the duration is set at one week, the warning is lifted automatically after one week and no longer appears in the user profile. A points system will also work jointly exclusions .. An exclusion is 1000 points. A user who has accumulated 1000 points is automatically excluded and unable to post messages on the forum. You can also set the length of exclusion. Remember that if your site has a public access and that you allow guests to post messages, exclusions do not prevent guests from posting as guests. You can also use the automatic exclusion through the ID or IP address of a user. If the IP address of a user is used as a criterion for exclusion, then any person sharing the IP is also excluded. Use these functions with care. With the automatic exclusion criterion time / duration is unnecessary. The exclusion lasts until the automatic lifting of the exclusion.
