[Typo3-dev] Starting a community based on Typo3

[Wengrzik, Andreas]

Good morning!

I tried a long time to set up Typo3 for a community... Often i think of changing back to postNuke or something similar.
But is stay at T3. 

Now i want to report some features i really missed after looking back to such a community 'cms' like postNuke.

First:
I as there is no standard mailing system (private messaging) for FE Users i use the cwt_community ext.
I thik thats the point where i started to go mad after i had to change somethings to my needs... 

Second:
Building up a community means (for me), each content on site could be used by the members an they should find
other members acting on sites. So how i can include everytime a member/member name is shown in content, link this name to
his personall profile??
Maybe it´s possibe to do a standard wrap for the username? Globally controlled with typo3??

Third:
I know there is a global marker called ###USERNAME### we can use it everywhere it couldn´t be used by an extension.
It´s a very userfull marker IMHO. So i added for my needs a global marker 


cutscene from class.tslib_fe.php...
[

		if ($this->fe_user->user['uid'])	{
			$token = trim($this->config['config']['UID_substToken']);
			$this->content = str_replace($token ? $token : '<!--###CWTUID###-->',$this->fe_user->user['uid'],$this->content);
		}
]


but this is a very stupid way to do such changes - i know. Maybe theres a better way to do so, but i´m not a php coder so i can only make changes...
I wish a wrap option to insert Username with a link to whatever i want... :) In this way i build my own a link like http://www.mydomain.de/index.php?id=111&action=getviewprofile&uid=1
So i need the username and the right pid.

I don´t know what you kasper and all the other core programmes are want to do until release 4.0 :) Maybe all these features are included until this time.

Or you just think Typo3 isn´t a community 'cms' - it´s a real cms... In this way i have to go forward and do all the changes just for me :(


Last:
One thing i think that is really important (i think for all CMS) is the feature for commenting articles, news, each content...
So it would be a nice feature if i can create content and only set a radio button which creates a link under the content for comments of FE users, and maybe guests too.
Other thing is a rating which i can set with an radio button too...



Ok, thanks for your time - and sorry for my bad english :)
Hope something was understandable - may be not all the text...



Have a nice day! - Typo3 is great!
