Featured discussions
Ning To Jamroom
Strumelia:
Yes I too really need to have the ability to "Feature" a Forum Discussion/Thread, so that it appears in a "featured discussions" area at the top of the Forum Index page.
(obviously this should be an admin ability, not available to regular members though...otherwise everyone will be featuring all their own discussions!)
There should be a way to 'feature' and 'un-feature' an individual forum thread without having to go into a template and change code for each forum thread's ID.
I'll merely mention as well here: I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting the same ability to 'feature' other content types. For my site, the most important ones would be: members, YT videos, Groups, member photos, and forum discussions. We actually use this featuring a lot.
I'm sure this is all a pita to examine and deal with, but this 'feature' ability in ning really enables us site owners to steer our sites in the direction we want- emphasizing/rewarding certain subjects while de-emphasizing others.
FWIW I'm on Ningja skin.
Is there anything on the horizon for us to be able to 'Feature' content on our sites, like at least be able to 'feature': Forum discussions...Groups...videos...members...
Such 5 or 6 featured items would appear in a 'featured' box at the top of each of their respective content type page, such as on: site.com/forum, site.com/group, site.com/profile etc. In ning we have this, which looks great and we can change up the featured ones whenever we like:
