Specific Forum Introduction at top of each forum

[Teresa]

Rather like EZBoard. I guess I'd really like a second description field with each forum. The second one would be used to introduce the forum at the top of that particular forum's list of threads.

I don't want the user to have to click into a sticky or announcement. I want it always there.

Seems like this must exist already, but I can't find it.

I'm running RC2.

Thanks.

Well, if you just want to have this for a handfull forums, you can achieve this by using template conditionals in forumdisplay template

Not the nicest way, but easy to achieve without hacking

Can you elaborate a little more on that?
I am very interested in this as well!

[Xenon]

well, in the forumdisplaytemplate on the part where you want it just add something like:

<if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == xx">Text for forum xx here</if>
