Hi,
I just purchased the forum module. I don't want users to have individual forums on their pages... I want one forum for the main site where everyone can post stuff. Any ideas?

Don't turn on the forum for any quotas apart from your main site quota (probably "admin"). Then provide links to your "admin" profile forum - that's exactly how they do it here on jamroom.net.

Here it's called "the-jamroom-network", yours might be called "admin", "site", or "mark".

My username/login is admin. How do I only enable it for admin?

You can enable/disable the forum per quota in the Forum modules "Quota Config" tab. Note that you'll need more than one quota setup to do this. Most likely and Admin quota for your master admin account and a regular quota for your users.

If you have a separate quota set up for your admin, in the Admin Control Panel (ACP), go to the quota tab for the forum module. Enable for your admin quota and save.

If you don't have a separate quota, you need to read these docs first:

Thank you so much! Now that that's all sorted out, how do I add the "Forum" tab to the main menu before the search tab (view image)? I am using the jrElastic skin.

You can't add it there - that menu is for User options (i.e. options related to a user) - they are added by a registered module feature.

You can modify the header.tpl in your skin and add a link there to the forum if you want however.

Thanks Brian! I figured.

No problem - check the header_menu_desktop.tpl and header_menu_mobile.tpl templates as well - they contain the actual menu items.

Cant figure out how to add it to the header_menu_mobile.tpl can you help? Here is the code:


----------------------------------------

{if isset($_items)}

{foreach from=$_items key="module" item="entry"}
{if $entry.active == '1'}
{$entry.label}
{else}
{$entry.label}
{/if}
{/foreach}

{/if}

-------------------------------------

That's the wrong template - open header_menu_mobile.tpl - it does not look like that.

Hope this helps!
