Today's release is one that I'm very excited about! This update adds a lot of functionality for staff users, and lays the ground work for even more administrative capabilities.
Permission based functionality
PunkwebBB now allows staff to have more administrative control directly from the forum, rather than strictly from the Django admin.
The following tasks can now be completed directly on the forum by users who have the right permissions:
Whether or not a user is able to perform these actions is determined by Django's built in groups/permissions system. Superusers can perform all of these actions without needing explicit permissions. However, this enables superusers to fine tune what other users and user groups are able to do on the forum.
The above functionality is enabled by the following permission:
Delete shouts
User's can now delete their own shouts.
Group badges
User's groups now display as badges on their threads and posts.
OpenGraph tags
Added basic OG tags to improve share links. This adds a new OG_IMAGE setting for changing the image that displays on share links (none by default).
