Forums App

Discussion forums and message threads.

Quick Start

from htk.apps.forums.models import Forum, ForumThread, ForumMessage

# Create forum
forum = Forum.objects.create(
    name='General Discussion',
    description='Discuss anything'
)

# Create thread
thread = ForumThread.objects.create(
    forum=forum,
    title='Welcome to our forum!',
    created_by=user
)

# Add message
message = ForumMessage.objects.create(
    thread=thread,
    content='Hello everyone!',
    created_by=user
)

Models
