Forum Display Settings

There are a number of properties of the forum feature included in mojoPortal content management system that canbe configured from the theme.skin file in the skin folder.

Note that if your theme.skin file does not already have this near the top, you need to add this first:

<%@ Register Namespace="mojoPortal.Web.ForumUI" Assembly="mojoPortal.Features.UI" TagPrefix="forum" %>

The following example shows all of the available forum display properties as of mojoPortal version 2.3.9.3 with their default values.

<forum:ForumDisplaySettings runat="server"
UseAltForumList="false"
UseAltThreadList="false"
UseAltPostList="false"
UseAltUserThreadList="false"
HideNotificationLinkOnPostList="false"
HideForumDescriptionOnPostList="false"
HideHeadingOnThreadView="false"
HideCurrentCrumbOnThreadcrumbs="false"
HideFeedLinks="false"
UseBottomSearchOnForumList="false"
HideSearchOnForumList="false"
UseBottomSearchOnForumView="false"
HideSearchOnForumView="false"
ForumViewHideStartedBy="false"
ForumViewHideTotalViews="false"
ForumViewHideTotalReplies="false"
ForumViewHideLastPostDate="false"
ForumViewHideLastPostUser="false"
HideAvatars="false"
HideUserTotalPosts="false"
OverrideThreadHeadingElement=""
/>

Most the settings should be self explanatory but you can always experiment to see what they do. Note that the first 3 items that enable alternate views were designed to render markup that is a little more optimal for small screens of modern smart phones. They are set to true in the Mobile Kit Pro skin. Actually many of these properties were added to make Mobile Kit Pro possible.
