Open forum are designed to increase engagement and provide a modern alternative to standard Moodle forums.

Open forum reduce complexity and work like the modern messaging systems students use every day on the web and their mobile devices.

Unlike standard forums advanced forums are responsive, so users can read and post from their mobile or tablet. Advanced forums have been specifically designed to improve the usability and accessibility of Moodle forums. 

Posting and replying are all done via ajax to save page loads, take less clicks and increase engagement, while maintaining the user's context in a discussion thread.

Open forums contain a number of additional features including the ability to see who has engaged in a discussion before you open it, a setting to show recent forum posts on the course page, subscribing to individual threads, private replies and an option to allow anonymous posting, post bookmarking, along with all the features standard Moodle forums have.


Open forums are design by Blackboard in partnership with The University of Montana.

    I have a problem with the plugin just installed. version 3.10.3 2021060100 - I get the error message on Submit - "There was an error with your submission: The message is required" even if there is a message in there. This does not happen when I am in advanced editor - here I can Post to Forum successfully.

    Further to recent comment - this seems to be a browser issue - I am using Opera but the Forum works well on Chrome, Safari and Edge.

    Hi, and thanks for the awesome forum!

    The plugin seems to work fine for me on Moodle 4.1.8 (Build: 20231222), apart from the fact that I do not get any e-mail notifications sent out, even if I am subscribed to the forum. (I have turned off digests, because as the teacher in high-paced course, I prefer to be e-mailed right away if somebody posts something.)

    Am I just missing something, or is this a bug? Can anybody help me to get this fixed? I have tried both googling and searching the issues for this git repository, but I have not found any clues.

    Thank you for any help!
    Mikael

    I partly fixed the notification problem now: Now I get daily digests, but still no instant notifications on new posts.

    The details are here, and hopefully a full solution will eventually be posted here: https://github.com/open-lms-open-source/moodle-mod_hsuforum/issues/51

    My students love the open forum. However, it stopped sending email notifications in Moodle 4.3.3. I get an error when I click on "manage forum subscriptions" Exception - Undefined constant "mod_hsuforum\FORUM_DISALLOWSUBSCRIBE"
