Discussion Conferences

Posted on March 12th, 2010 by tom

Your websites now have a simple interface to discussion conferences. Conferences allow you to group related topics together. By default your website has four conferences: Files, General, Images, and Webpages. When you add a message that has an image or file attached, the message is automatically routed to the Images or Files conference. There is no requirement to use conferences. You can continue to use your website the way you have been if you don't need conferences.

MySQL queries to update conference descriptions

Here are MySQL queries for my records with use of a subquery to update empty conference descriptions.

UPDATE `message` SET `content_markup` = IF( `content_markup` = '', 'uploaded files are added here', `content_markup` ), `content` = `content_markup` WHERE `id` = (SELECT `conference_message_id_files` FROM `configuration`);

UPDATE `message` SET `content_markup` = IF( `content_markup` = '', "put the topic here if it doesn't fit elsewhere", `content_markup` ), `content` = `content_markup` WHERE `id` = (SELECT `conference_message_id_general` FROM `configuration`);

UPDATE `message` SET `content_markup` = IF( `content_markup` = '', 'uploaded images are added here', `content_markup` ), `content` = `content_markup` WHERE `id` = (SELECT `conference_message_id_images` FROM `configuration`);

UPDATE `message` SET `content_markup` = IF( `content_markup` = '', 'optionally add webpages here', `content_markup` ), `content` = `content_markup` WHERE `id` = (SELECT `conference_message_id_webpages` FROM `configuration`);
