Once again it's a start. I would like to include some FAQs etc but that will come as things come up.

Great mambot. Thank you!

Now the inevitable questions:

1) Can you display the quick post box inside of a <div> in a specific place - or only at the bottom of the page?

2) Can you display the Title of the Forum's category Id that the Quick post will be adding to? i.e. for {mos_fb_discuss:123}, display the title of category #123.

Both these features would be very useful.

The bot doesn't allow adding it in the middle of content as it didn't seen terribly useful to do so. I've only heard one other user request it and they only "thought it would be cool" and didn't push for it.

I've not considered adding the category title to the bot's "Discuss in ..." message. I guess I've tried to keep the bot as light as possible but if you've looked at the code, it's not what I'd call 'light' anymore. As long as features can be turned off and therefore not adding to the overhead I don't mind adding some useful features.

I'm not familiar with how Fireboard stores titles in its DB, but it's worth a look. I'm imagining using discussbot with a leading question (What do you guys think about X?....) as a good way of populating new forums active and starting conversations. So much cooler than just having comments. In terms of being able to load discussbot in a module position (or inside a div) it just give us more control over how the page looks.

Nice component. Unfortunately, the "link only" option that is contained in the sourcecode cannot be set from the admin backend.

If you want to not have the discussion in your content items, you have to edit the sourcecode. It would be good to be able to set the number of listed items to 0. Currently this resets it to the default value of 6.

And as a sidenote: A comment like
// TODO: Sadly we may have built the quickpost form et al without needing to...
that voids most of the stuff that has been done before after one single if statement is really sad It's not too hard to make that if a litte bit more up front...

Besides that: Nice mambot
