Displaying Forums in Modules

Do you remember how you added a module to display blog posts in the right column? You can do the same thing for forum posts. This allows your site's visitors to quickly see new topics and threads.

Release 4.0 Release 3.x, 2.x Release 1.9
#Open the Admin menu and click Modules.
  1. On the Admin Modules page, click the Assign/Edit Modules tab.
    Assign new module
    The Assign new module area of the Admin Modules page.


  2. In the Assign new module area, select the Last Forum Posts module as the Module Name. This module will display the last (most recently added) posts to the forums.
    Tiki reloads the page. The Assign new modules area now shows additional options, specific to the selected module.
    Assign new module
    After selecting the module, Tiki displays additional, module-specific options.


  3. Enter the following information in each field:
    • Position: Select right. You will add this module to the right column.
    • Order: Select 10. The blog module that you added earlier is in position 5. This will place the forum module under the blog module.

    TipTip:
    Always give yourself extra spaces between module ordering. This will help if you later want to insert a new module.


    • Rows: Enter 5. Now the module will display the 5 most recently added forum posts.
    • Groups: Select Anonymous, so that all visitors can see the module.

    TipTip:
    You can use this setting to "hide" modules and make them visible only to selected groups.


  4. If everything looks good, click Assign. Tiki saves the information and reloads the page.
The Last Forum Posts module now appears in the right column, under the blog module.
Last forum posts module.
The Last Forum Posts module appears in the right column, below the blog module.




NoteNote:
You may have to click clear cache on the Admin Modules page.


See the TikiWiki documentation(external link) for information on all the available forum modules.
