implement an inline whisper system

Description

Most of the popular forum systems have a private message system that allow sending of messages to specific users. I've discussed this with Francois and we came to the conclusion that this should not be put into Motilee, but should be implemented in the sfSimpleForumPlugin to allow for everyone to apply this to their forum.

The method of implementing this is not yet set in stone.

It would be even better to put this into an own plugin, e.g. "sfMessagePlugin" providing a generic private message system with folders for inbox, sent, .. for each user and ways to connect this with other plugins. The sfSimpleForumPlugin could have support for automagically integration of the message plugin if it is installed.

Interesting standpoint, and you might be right with that, depending on the way we want it implemented in the forum we might need to find a way to plug it into the forum plugin.

  • summary changed from implement a private message system to implement an inline whisper system.

Renamed the ticket to be more clear about the ideas:

The idea is not to develop your average private message system, but instead develop an "inline whisper" system which allows one to embed a private message inside a discussion to another user, basically whispering within the discussion (instead of global private communication between users).

Why not let sfSimpleForumPlugin be a "simple" forum plugin and fork it as sfAdvancedForumPlugin with such nice evolution ?

i like the idea of a sfMessagePlugin for send messages between users. it can pluged at the sfSimpleForum see sfGuard or sfFeed ;)

nice idea to have this as a separated plugin...

but you should have in mind, that this plugin should not only interact with sfGuard but also other AuthPlugins?, like sfGuardDoctrine etc.

the whispering system has its place in the sfSimplePlugin as long as it's possible to enable/disable it via configuration.

And I don't think that forking is the best way to put our efforts together. I'm open to features additions in the plugin - except threaded discussions.
