Ning To Jamroom
Hi
Quote: Complete newbie here!
We all have to start somewhere and please ask any questions you want on this forum, but if you haven't already, I'd strongly recommend you checkout our documentation to get an understanding of how Jamroom works. It is different from Ning and did confuse many Ning migrants in the past, but they soon got the hang of it
Start with the Jamroom Admin Handbook -
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/contents
To answer your specific question, I'd suggest using SiteBuilder to edit the 'Latest Forum Posts' widget on your index page. Change the widget title to this -
{jrCore_lang skin="jrNinja" id="47" default="Forum"} {jrCore_lang module="jrForum" id="57" default="Categories"}then the template code to this -
{* This is the embedded template that is shown for EACH Latest Forum Posts entry on the right side *}
{capture name="template3" assign="forum_tpl"}
{literal}
{if isset($_items)}
{jrCore_module_url module="jrForum" assign="furl"}
{foreach $_items as $item}
<div class="p5">
{$purl = jrCore_db_get_item_key('jrProfile', $item.forum_profile_id, 'profile_url')}
<h3><a href="{$jamroom_url}/{$purl}/{$furl}/{$item.forum_cat_url}">{$item.forum_cat}</a></h3>
</div>
{/foreach}
{else}
<div class="center p10">
<h3>{jrCore_lang skin="jrNinja" id="26" default="No"} {jrCore_lang module="jrForum" id="57" default="Categories"}!</h3>
</div>
{/if}
{/literal}
{/capture}
{* This is the END of the embedded template that is shown for EACH Top Disscusstion entry on the right side *}
<div class="blog-index-text" style="{if !jrCore_is_mobile_device()}height:225px;overflow-y:scroll;overflow-x:hidden;{/if}margin: 10px 0 10px 0;padding-bottom: 10px;">
{jrCore_list module="jrForum" search="forum_cat_url LIKE %" group_by="forum_cat_url" order_by="forum_cat_url asc" limit=100 template=$forum_tpl quota_check=false}
</div>
Checkout the SiteBuilder docs as well.
