Instant KB v2.0 Feature Request

MCrank — Thu, 01 Feb 2007 08:16:06 GMT

This may have been identified already but I couldn't find any mention of it with my poking around. One issue that I have is installing the KB on a WebFarm and they way the "Application Settings" are stored. Currently they are stored in the InstantKb.Config file and if you are running in a Web Farm you have to copy the file to all of the servers or keep hitting rrefresh until you hit the next server and make the changes again. It would be extremely nice if these settings were stored in the DB in some way or utilize another means to prevent this.

Thanks

Marco

Feature/Ability - Support Functionality

DrewID — Wed, 20 Dec 2006 08:14:39 GMT

It would be great if there was a support module - say InstantSupport.NET, similar to the KB, but where admin/support could be able to answer questions that are coming in directly to support and it could then track the support requests - separately from KB type issues, but you could still then create a KB article from it as well.

Status on new development?

zupuser — Tue, 13 Sep 2005 10:17:23 GMT

Awhile back you mentioned you're going to be working on the next release of InstantKB.NET. Is this still happening? Thanks.

InstantKB v2.0 - is this product dead?

kb_user — Tue, 12 Sep 2006 03:17:18 GMT

From reading posts in this forum, there appears to be no committment to releasing v2 of InstantKB and questions asking for a release date go unanswered.

What are users (who have paid good money) supposed to think? This user thinks this product is dead. You can always judge a company by how it treats it's customers.

So please, InstantASP, tell us when v2 is available. Your silence speaks volumes.

Search box on every page

CarlosB — Tue, 29 Aug 2006 04:21:24 GMT

One thing that I think would be very useful after using the app for some time is having a search box on every page. This could be a quick search for all categories. In my experience this would make the whole process of searching much easier!

Thanks,

Carlos Baez

Article permission

jkcooper — Fri, 14 Apr 2006 13:22:48 GMT

It would be very useful to be able to assign permissions to articles rather that just folders. As it works now, for our application I have to create two folders for topics to contain articles that have different permission levels.

Additional user Roles

daveg56 — Wed, 11 Jan 2006 09:14:09 GMT

We require a number of people (developers) to add articles to the knowledge base but the only way this is currently possible is if every user is set up as an Administrator, which is not ideal.

Currently there is simply a User role and an Admin role. It would be more flexible if users could be assigned to a particular set of roles that gives them the relevant permissions.

Article review dates & owners

barrycaruth — Fri, 23 Dec 2005 01:49:46 GMT

Ownership/review date suggestions:

Should be able to store article owner (separately from last modifier).
Deleting an admin account should prompt for reassignment of ownership of all articles to another user.
Should be able to set default review date for all articles (e.g. 6 months, 1 year)
KB should send email to article owners when they are due for review or there should be an admin interface to do this.

Thanks.

Search by article number

barrycaruth — Fri, 23 Dec 2005 01:45:07 GMT

In a future version it would be useful if the article number (e.g. Q10179) was part of the search index. Currently it is not.

Admin email notification when a user posts a comments to an article

David Boyer — Mon, 07 Mar 2005 11:31:12 GMT

I may have simply missed it but is there a way to have the admin receive an email notification when a visitor to the Knowledge Base posts a comment to an article? Currently, I have to go in the admin console and check for new comments. This works great however sometimes I forget to check and more often than not when I space out and don't check for a couple of days there is a ton of them.

If there is a way to turn on email notification for this please let me know, if not I would like to submit this functionality as a feature request.

BTW, the KB (and forum) are working fantastic for us. Thanks for such stellar products!

Spelling? In the email article option

osgiliath — Tue, 17 May 2005 05:49:04 GMT

Hi when using automatic emailing in the KB, it generates the following text:

If you have recieved this email in error please forward this message to <email excluded from this post>

I'd like to change the word recieved to received, but cannot find a way to do that. Can this be corrected in the next version?

(Funny, the spell check tells me it's wrong as well ;) )

Thanks,

Eric

HTML control to embed flash .SWF files

ross — Mon, 19 Sep 2005 03:28:44 GMT

Hi,

Please could you wishlist the addition of an HTML editor control to give the ability to upload/embed Flash .SWF files into articles in the same way that images are.

The reason is that we're planning on using Qarbon's ViewletCam to produce short live demos to go with KB articles - these are produced as .SWF files.

Embedding them manually at the moment works fine, but we have to handle the uploading via FTP ourselves prior to embedding them using the code show below. Alternatively we can attach the files and then embed them using the KB generated URL to the uploaded file - but either way is a bit messy.

Many thanks in advance.

Cheers, Ross.

Browsing to manage articles as admin

jlheide — Wed, 27 Jul 2005 11:58:25 GMT

Hi. When in the Admin tab Managing Articles, it would be nice if we could Browse for them (like the Browse tab that users have), not just Search.

Security enhancements

barrycaruth — Mon, 17 Jan 2005 14:19:39 GMT

Today (v1.3) a person needs to be an admin user to post articles and hence can see ALL other articles in the KB (via the admin interface) irrespective of their roles as a "normal" user.

A future version should

integrate normal user and admin user authentication (single sign-on)
integrate user logon with Active Directory (as an option)
limit admin users to only see/edit articles they have access to (rather than everything).

Cheers,

Barry.

TreeView Ailgnment Problem

jschlesinger — Wed, 25 May 2005 09:40:30 GMT

I've noticed that categories with subcategories and categories without subcategories do not align up properly in the treeview. IMO a category with no children should have a pad on the left of the image to account for the +/- on categories with subs to make it align nicely. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks,
Josh

Customization

johncey — Tue, 07 Jun 2005 05:43:36 GMT

I would like to know whether the TreeView control is customizable to have a client side control than a server side control. Basically we do not want a post back every time we click on the Tree Control

Posibility to search in selected category and below

Franc — Thu, 26 May 2005 14:56:03 GMT

Hi,

when searching for articles we would like to have the option to select a category and also specify that it should search in all categories below the selected category. Now you can only select 1 category and it searches only that one and not it's children. Since we have a pretty large tree structure this would be a nice addition.

External links directly to articles in KB?

pgrebenc — Fri, 06 May 2005 14:09:04 GMT

The person we have putting content in our KB asked me about the ability to link directly to an article in the knowledge base from an external web site. From looking at the InstantKB code, it looks like the login control always redirects to the application URL, and doesn't have any support for redirecting back to the original page the user requested.

I've hacked a bit onto the login control code for our site, to allow redirection directly to an article, by adding an article id in the query string. It would be nice to have real support for auto-redirection built into a future version.

(Or have I missed something, and is this already possible?)

Additional Security Features

Tom Grumbling — Tue, 13 May 2003 07:27:00 GMT

Could you layout the security design plans you have for V2?

I would like to be able to:

1. Vary security by knowledgebase and by categories/folders below the knowledgebase.

2. To declare an article as internal only.

3. To have internal/external designations on parts of an article. Notes, links, attachments could be internal only or Public and would display appropriately to the person viewing the article. This ability to have linked internal information is vital.

4. To have a section for Publisher / Editor / Review / Approval notes that would only be available to those with appropriate editting or workflow rights.

5. To have a section for mynotes or mycomments which I can attach and be the sole viewer of that info.

6. To have publication dates (Start and End) on articles with the ability to search unreleased or expired articles for those individuals with the approriate rights.

7. To have required user account password changes occur on a scheduled basis.

8. To support https: 128 bit encryption minimally to maintain information security to the browser.

9. Selectable timeout for inactivity

10. Security allowed based on an organization/employer affiliation. eg. if I open my knowledgebase up to my customers and one of my customers discontinues it relationship with us, I want to term or PEND all the associated subscribers to my knowledgebase(s)

11. I would like the security for forums to be shared or consistent with the knowledgebase, so maintenance is as minimal as possible.

user account expiration

ajoshi — Thu, 04 Nov 2004 10:30:55 GMT

Hi,

Is there any way I can setup expiration date for knowledgebase users?

We have internal support contracts and I would like to share a specific information to the customers with contract only.

Thanks, AJ

User account creation

Nicolas Elsig — Fri, 11 Mar 2005 13:01:56 GMT

Hi,

First of all congratulation for the product it is excellent.

However, I am using it in my school and would like to give private access to around 100 staff members. I can create the accounts with my administrator account but the user will

not received any confirmation when the account is created
not have the possibility to change his/her password
don't have a linked forget my password

Basically, all of this is implemt in the forum but not in the knowledge base. Would it be implemented in the next version and when will it be available.

Obviously, these features are extremely important and prevent me to fully used the knowledge base at a large scale

Many thanks in advance

Nicolas

Ability for 'power users' to create articles for submission

R1chard — Thu, 07 Apr 2005 14:16:08 GMT

Hi,

Keeping a knowledge base up-to-date is a full time job, so I'd really like to allocate certain specialists within my organisation the ability to create articles which are then queued for my approval. I would see it working in a very similar way to the moderated comments idea.

Regards,

Richard.

Specify Articles per page

aguk — Thu, 07 Apr 2005 13:15:29 GMT

Would be nice if the number of articles per page displayed for both latest / most popular and tree node viewing was configurable in the admin settings.

Extended Search to Adobe PDFs

R1chard — Thu, 24 Mar 2005 12:40:17 GMT

Hi,

One of the great things a rival of yours does (which is a lot more $$$) is to search adobe PDFs (and others, but I'm happy with PDF) for words as well as the articles themselves.

I'd really like to see this feature as I can then add technical manuals as attachments and allow users to search them without having to copy and paste the content into an article page.

Regards,

Richard.

Cleaning up attachments

Franc — Thu, 07 Oct 2004 04:02:24 GMT

Hi,

is there a way to clean-up the attachments automatically ? Now when you delete an article with an attachment, the attachment remains in the attachment folder while the article has been deleted.

Franc.

3 Questions

bjakob — Tue, 27 Jan 2004 03:38:00 GMT

Hello

I like to work with instantkb, but 3 things would very important for me:

1. Starting the search with the "enter"-Key

2. Inserting Images with drag and drop

3. Naming of Links in the "related Links"-Area

Would this be possible?

Thanks

Active Directory support or LDAP sync

serguei — Thu, 08 Jan 2004 01:44:00 GMT

First of all congratulations on already excellent product.

I was wondering if you have any plans to port InstantKB security to support Active Directory, NTLM security or have some sort of mechanism to sync AD users and roles with your custom SQL db users and roles.

For example I'd like to use InstantKB, or InstantForum, on the intranet but dont' want to maintain a separate users db.

Suggestions for future releases of InstantKB.NET

Amaury de Chaffoy — Tue, 05 Aug 2003 08:48:00 GMT

Aloha,

I'll post a little topic to make a few suggestion for your future releases of InstantKB, just a few things...

First of all a great Improvement would be the implementation of Templates into the answering wysiwyg...

For example:

You get a question and you click in a drop down menu the most suitable template to reply to the persons request. So we only need to fill in some forms to reply...

secondly,

the ability in the search part, to look in specific categories... What about a picture frame in the article?

Just some idea's

thx for the efforts,

Amaury

Adding custom Article Type

Carl Savillo — Wed, 22 Oct 2003 17:33:00 GMT

It would be nice if the Administrator could add their own article types to better suit their needs. Just a small request.
