That feature is not available yet. Setting the front page to show the forum only shows the posts and not the forum currently. This is on Bloc's todo list.

I got around that by creating an index.html file with a meta redirect to my index.php?action=forum page.

Only problem now is that it is confusing to people when they click the "home" link and go to a page they didn't expect to see. It would be nice to do it the right way.

couldn't we code the home button to go to index.php?action=forum ?  i haven't looked at it yet, but I had planned no getting around it this way. 


will this not work?

i just want the entire forum, with the sidebar.  as far as the articles go, i use a announcement forum, but I could always make the link that says "forum" now, into a "articles" button. 

basically flip-flop the tp existing functionality.

In TPadmin on "Frontpage settings": just add which Board ÂÃ, it is you want to show, like General Discussion, Intros, et-cetera.. with an Article. :)

I don't quite understand what you are saying here.  I want to see boardindex instead of the articles.  IF people want to see articles, which would most likely be empty, then there would be a button (replacing the forum button) that would say "articles".  hopefully that clarifies. :)

It's not possible with TP right now. I think that option is on Bloc's todo list though.

would my idea, as above, work?  Replace the home button link to =forum, and then just replace the forum button with a article button, and use a meta redirect to send to the new "home" button upon entering the site?

i.e. type www.sitenamehere.com...redirect to index.php?action=forum.  that would give the boardindex...and then from there the home button would send back to index.php?action=forum.  would that work?  easier way to do this?  I haven't looked at the code yet to see if this is possible...just an idea that I had.  I can't wait for the new version for this feature and for the block collapse feature...would love to collapse individual blocks.

thanks alot Bloc!  and IchBin for your quick and helpful responses. :)

I tried to meta-direct approach on TPv0.5 earlier..but on some servers it got in a loop, so I quickly went away from it.

What I am doing now is rather have it as a option, which is checked in Load.php. Depending on that it will use the either action=forum , or nothing,  to show the forum. If nothing, then the "frontpage" will have to be called from action=tportal instead.

Which ever works best.

You can show posts on frontpage from a certain board catagory.(not sure if that's what you want.  It's in the TP settings.

I have looked in the TP settings and did not see this anywhere.  Is this a code change in TPadmin.php??

I'm not sure if this is where I should post his so please forgive me.  I would like to feature on the boards on my forum on the front page.  I want it to look like the board is actually there so I can go read posts and make replies etc etc. 

I would like to lmit the usergroups that can access this frontpage view.  Is it a phpbox of some kind?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
