The barebones definition of a forum is the ability for people to start threads and reply to other people's threads. However, most forum software provides considerably more than this. Most forum software allows more than one forum to be created. These forums are containers for threads started by the community. Depending on the permissions of community members as defined by the board's administrator, they can post replies to existing threads and start new threads as they wish. A forum administrator typically has the ability to edit, delete, move or otherwise modify any thread on the forum.
Help Module
A new Online Help System has been written that consists of two modules that communicate via Inter Module Communication (IMC). The Chapter module is the familiar GTYS Tree with each chapter added as a node of the tree. The user navigates the tree as per usual and clicks the chapter of interest. This action populates the Tutorial module by sending the ID of the chapter clicked on via IMC to the Tutorial module. The Tutorial module is a data list that is populated by the tutorials in each chapter. The list shows the Title and short description of the content. When the user clicks read more... they are taken to the details page where they can view the content of the tutorial and also navigate through the rest of the tutorials in the chapter or return to the list of tutorials in this chapter.
IFrame Module
The IFrame is a browser feature which allows you to display content from another web site within a frame. Within the content of GoToYourSite.com, the IFrame module allows the embedding of an internal/external URL within the module.
