This plugin adds a simple embeddable forum to OctoberCMS.
A video demonstration of this plugin can be seen here: https://vimeo.com/97088926
The forum does not require immediate configuation to operate. However the following options are available.
- Forum categories (Channels) can be managed via the System > Channels menu.
- Forum members can be managed via the User menu.
The plugin includes a component forumChannels that should be used as the main page for your forum. Add the component to your page and render it with the component tag:
{% component 'forumChannels' %}
You should tell this component about the other forum pages.
- channelPage - the page used for viewing an individual channel's topics.
- topicPage - the page used for viewing a discussion topic and posts.
- memberPage - the page used for viewing a forum user.
