    Forum on Front Page?

    Posted 16 years 2 months ago
    • Hello all,

      Is there a way to put a forum right there on the front page? Not sure which forum softeware I intend to use but I do want to put it in plain sight of the reader.

      Specifically, I'm using TerraTribune now. The site is www.montarafog.com

      What I want to do is eliminate all of the section boxes (Insights, Local News, etc) and replace it all with a forum area--not a "latest posts" but the actual forum.

      Is there a way to do that?

    • You could use a Wrapper Menu item as the Home Menu and publish the Modules you want to appear there.

      But you would lose the unique URLs to the posts in the address bar.

      Drats. So I couldn't link to another post from within a post (or e-mail). Any way around that?

    • I had a look at the menus in the back-end...just to be clear are you saying that by making the Home a wrapped item I woudl still keep the rotating image and headline section of the front page (and the stuff at the bottom? I'm only looking to replace the section boxes...

      Thanks,

      Not with a Wrapper Menu item.

      Menus > Menu Manager > (mainmenu) Menu Items > New > Wrapper >

      Name it Home, enter the URL of the forum, Save

      Module Manager > For each Module you want to appear on that Menu, choose it and set it to display under Menu Assignments.
