After installing this hack, you will be able to post a unique introduction for each forum. Sub-forums will show their parent's introduction, unless they have one of their own. This feature is available in ezBoard, so us ezBoard refugees are already familiar with it.

This hack does not add any additional SQL queries to your forum! it was inspired by PPN's hack, which was based on FireFly's code.

Screenshot (thanks to ptbyjason).

Awesome hack! Just what I was looking for. By the way, I have 2.2.5 and it works as advertised.

How can I change the title "Forum Introduction" to be the actual name of the forum? I tried $forumid but it just returned the number. I also tried $title, $forumtitle without success.

Anyone?

Here is a screenshot:

When you create a new template with the "forumdisplay_introduction_xx", where xx is the ID of the forum, what code is needed inside the new template?

cessna140,

Have you tried $forum[title]? I'm not sure this will work. Let me know if it does.

Thank Firefly, that's his code and how he does it here.

But, You're very welcome, anyway.
