Hello, in Version 4 User could choose which Forum Index to use. What is with Version 5. Can other users choose Table, Grid, Fluid or Feed Forum Index? Because somebody sent me a private message and told that he did not like Grid Option.

It seems the option is gone for the user. You can only set it on a global level in your theme.

As a workaround you could create two themes.

I found image....I don t know why V5 does not have this option, like V4

 

I know what you meant. But the option is simply not there. So my guess is v5 doesn't have it.

It's a theme setting now. Users can no longer choose. What you can do instead is create a new theme for each layout option.

You'll need 3 separate themes:

1. Table
2. Grid
3. Fluid

If it helps your users @fileo, I will be naming my themes along these lines to make them more aligned with "modern" terminology:

1. Traditional (table)
2. Visual (grid)
3. Social Feed (fluid)

Which is bizarre. So if you have 5 different themes, you need 15 of that workaround. 

🤦🏻‍♂️

Yep... 🤷‍♂️

Users can set that in their content preferences if you allow that.

Do i have to enable a setting on the ACP? That’s all that appears for me:

I don’t see any relevant setting in the Forums app.

Ah, found it. Group settings -> Permission -> Change layouts

 

if you allow that

Where can I in APC allow that?

Thanks

That s good, but Admin has to explain every step how to do. So, like in V4 is better

Found a few minutes later. Thanks.

I have already used it since beta 1 was released, strange you didn't notice it!

With lots of new things, there will be many things people may not initially notice 🙂

While I don't think it's bad to get new things I don't think it's the optimal strategy to hide it. Even though unintended... 🙂

Its not so much that they are hidden. Its more that there are a lot of them. It is a large release after all 🙂

That's why we use the beta version, so that we can check and test all the features
