I would like to create a module for my website so that users can post questions, reply to questions and search questions in newsgroups. Can someone point me in the right direction to get this started? Thanks, Jeremy
hy you need a database where the posts and questions are inserted. you connect the different tables with keys that every answer can be connected to the ritght question. then with php you read out the threads and display them on the site. in order to keep the overview you only show the title of the question or the thread and then make a link to details, where the user can see the whole thread. with the search function you let the user search in the database to find relevant topics. enogh information to start with? otherwise ask more detailed.
Isn't there a way to do it without using my database to store the users responses? I mean...if I were to use someone elses NewGroup to read and post to, isn't the information stored on their end instead of mine? Later, Jeremy
It would be very new to me if you could.. ..what's the problem about using your db?
