Forum Index

[fileo]

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

 

[Hatsu]

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.

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.

[Hatsu]

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

Where can I in APC allow that?

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