Administer Forum structure

Here you can define a pre-configured structure for creating new group forums. It can be used a simple or multiple structure.

When a new group ist created.

Options

• Default forum structure
  When a new group is created then the structure defined here is used. Note: But this will only be realized if the option Same container is activated.

• Same container
  The name of the container matches the name of the group.

Default forum structure

To use the Default forum structure, change the default forum name/s to a semicolon seperated entry.

Use C for new container, P for the previous container, R to return to the root container.

Structure examples

 - Group name container
 -- Forum 1
 -- Container 2
 --- Forum 2
 --- Container 3
 ---- Forum 3
 -- Forum 4

Forum General discussion;Forum Other;C;Container More;Forum Whats up;R;C;Container Extra;Forum Help

 - Group name container
 -- Forum General discussion
 -- Forum Other
 -- Container More
 --- Forum Whats up
 -- Container Extra
 --- Forum Help

To use descriptions. Follow the container or forum name by a comma, then description.

E.g. Forum 3,This is a description;Forum 4

Structure depth

Correctly supported depth for container is 2.

 - Group name container
 -- Container
 --- Container

A greater depth is possible. But there create confused forum lists and confuses the user.

The best is: Keep it simple and straightforward.

Group manager

Group manager can only manage forums - no container.

Displaying groups forums

In the forum lists, not the administration, are not displayed empty containers.
