Hi Stephen. Do you know if there is any karma related rule for adding inline images? I tried to insert an image like in this: https://www.odoo.com/forum/help-1/question/the-chosen-company-is-not-in-the-allowed-companies-for-this-user-2886 ...but with no luck.

I think it Linking Files. However for now this forum has a bug that will allow you to post clickable links and inline images at any karma level. Just use a gmail editor to add the links and images then copy and paste it into the forum. This bug has been fixed in v8 RC1.

Odoo upgraded their website today to v8rc1 and now the karma values listed above are in effect.

I have changed all the values in forum.py to zero (in the _defaults map). Also changed the text of description. But this has no effect on the forum page after a refresh, not even after a server restart. How to change the karma defaults and the description of the forum?

Author

These are the defaults that are loaded into the database. To change the values on your own forum, enter the odoo backend and click Messaging | forums | | [Edit]

This should be updated, when you ask a new question you will no longer get a +2 for karma. As you can see here https://github.com/odoo/odoo/blob/8.0/addons/website_forum/models/forum.py on line 84.

You are correct. There are a lot of changes going on in the forum software. I will re-evaluate it and fix my answer. Thanks

A new karma goal has been added for 1000 karma points. Now users with more than 1000 karma points will be able to see all answers not just the last 20.
