article preview on forumhome

[Noerenberg]

Hi,

if there any way to show the article preview from the cms on forumhome?

it would be nice when anyone can help me.

Use the forum blocks and create a CMS Articles block.

i mean not in the sidebar, i mean there where are normly the forum is.

includet picuters ect

I have not seen a mod since you can do this with just a block. You can try a search though.

[Noerenberg]

I dont not what do you mean with a block. sorry

i was thinking it is easy to copy the infos from the cms to forumhome.. hmm

[Lynne]

sidebar = blocks

You may certainly just copy the info from the cms and add it to the forumhome page. Just put <div> in the FORUMHOME template with the text you want.

Ok, in which template i can found all the information from cms startside

--------------- Added [DATE]1302456924[/DATE] at [TIME]1302456924[/TIME] ---------------

Now i take the info from article_preview

and put on forumhome but no article preview will show. hmmm

[Lynne]

Link? And tell us exactly what you added to the template and where in the template. Please use the code tags.

The new style is not available for guest.

I put with the tms on FORUMHOME under

	<div id="pagetitle">
		<h1>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</h1>
		<p id="welcomemessage" class="description">{vb:rawphrase welcome_to_the_x, {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}}</p>
	</div>

this code

<div class="article_preview">
	<vb:if condition="$showtitle">
	<div class="title">
		<h3 class="article_preview">
			<a href="{vb:raw page_url}"><span>{vb:raw title}</span></a>&nbsp;
		<vb:if condition="$can_edit">
			<a class="edit" href="{vb:raw edit_url}">
			<img class="editimage" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_cms}/edit_small.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase edit}" />
			</a>
		</vb:if>
		</h3>
	</div>
	</vb:if>

	<vb:if condition="$showuser OR $showpublishdate OR ($viewcount AND $showviewcount) OR ($showrating AND $rating!='')">
	<div class="cms_article_username">

You can't just copy the code with the variable unless you also go and define those variables for the page (and register them for use in the template).
