This chapter summarizes release note issues associated with Oracle Discussions. This chapter contains the following sections:
Note:
This document was updated on October 7, 2005.Oracle Discussions is a new component in this release of Oracle Collaboration Suite. Oracle Discussions provides users with the ability to create online forums, also referred to as bulletin boards, and to access these forums using a Web browser, e-mail or RSS feeds. Depending on access levels, participants can post messages to the forums or simply browse through them.
Oracle Discussions consists of categories, forums and topics. Categories are created within a root category. Forums are created within a category. Topics are groups of messages within a specific forum.
This section describes known limitations and workarounds in Oracle Discussions.
Distribution lists configured for multiple forums: If more than one forum is configured for integration with the same distribution list (by setting the forum E-Mail Forwarding address to the same Distribution List address), e-mail messages sent to the distribution list will be stored in only one of the those forums.
Workaround: Avoid associating more than one forum to the same Distribution List address.
Message priority configuration: Discussion messages posted by forum moderators are marked as high priority and messages posted by forum writers are marked with normal priority. Message priority setting is not configurable.
Moving/deleting favorite topics: Favorite topics are cached during a user's session. If a moderator deletes or moves a user's favorite topic while the user's session is active, an error is reported when the user tries to access a favorite topic. At that point, the user's favorite list will be refreshed.
Category writers' roles: Category writers are automatically forum writers for all forums created within the parent category. However, they are not displayed as forum writers on the Create Forum page. They do appear as forum writers after the forum is created.
Editing and replying to messages: Editing or replying to a message that was received through e-mail and that includes inline images breaks the inline images in the edited message and in the reply to that message if that reply includes the body of the original message.
