How can I the board on the frontpage ?

[Bogus]

Hello

How I can the board on the frontpage, so that the User by first visit see the actualy posts and the forum on the top

Thx for help

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.

ok thx

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.
