README

This simple plugin adds private profile notes functionality to the discourse forum system.

Details

This neat little plugin adds the possibility for any user to leave private, personal notes on another persons profile allowing them to read them later. Only the user, who created the note can view them.

On top, Staff can decide to share the note with the rest of staff. In which case other staff will see what that person noted on it. This works on a per-note-bases and doesn't inhibit any staff person to still have their own personal notes.

Installation

Just two easy steps. From your main discourse do:

cd plugins
git clone https://github.com/ligthyear/discourse-plugin-profile-notes.git   # clone the repo here
cd ..
RAILS_ENV=production rake assets:precompile 

Then restart your discourse and enjoy the fun on ever /user/*/activity-page.
