How to build Forums using csla.net 3.0

AKaplan posted on Tuesday, September 11, 2007

I'm looking for some feedback on how to build forums and email using csla.net 3.0 architecture. What objects would i need to build in order for this to happen. I can see how it is built using .net provider tiers through Telligent's Community Server, but i would like to convert that community server's architecture ( which is .net provider tiers) into csla.net 3.0. I've run into a few problems with inheritance and permissions, and i need some sort of workaround. Anyhelp would be extremely appreciative.

Off the top of my head, a probably incomplete list of use cases would be:

Admin - create forum
Admin - delete post
Admin - delete thread

User - post new forum message
User - reply to existing message
User - view list of forums
User - select forum
User - view list of threads, sorted by date
User - select thread
User - view posts in thread, sorted by date
User - post reply to post
User - create post (new thread)

So we have
User
Admin

Forum
    threadcollection or postcollection
        Posts  

Forum collection

What email use cases do you want to implement?
