Hi,
I use Advanced Forum for a support website. When the user requests help and later gets an acceptable answer, his thread should be marked as solved. Is there any way to use taxonomy to show the "Solved" tag right next to the title in the topic listings and in the thread view?
Thanks a lot!

meustrus commentedYou could install CCK and give the Forum Topic content type a checkbox, then using Views UI alter the forum index to display that field in another column. That's just off the top of my head; there might be a better way.
Comment #2
dpatte commentedWhy use taxonomy. I simply edit the first message's title.

rahim123 commentedThanks very much for the suggestions!
Hmm, can I use the views UI to alter the forum listings though? I thought that was all hard coded. I'm definitely not a good coder, so GUI solutions are always preferred.

meustrus commentedIf you're using a 2.x version, most topic lists are Views that can be changed. Once they have been changed, updates to the module will no longer update the view, so to get updates to the view you would have to "revert" and do your changes over again. But, it is definitely possible to change the topic list using Views UI. I've changed my New Posts view to also show group posts from OG, for example.

rahim123 commentedThanks a lot Meustrus... looking good. I just need to decide when to upgrade to 2.x then.
Comment #6
meustrus commented...if you're not using a 2.x version, why is this issue tagged "6.x-2.x-dev"?
Comment #7
rahim123 commentedBecause I know that this capability is not available in 1.x.
Comment #8
michelleIn 1.x you'd have to add it to the preprocess / template files.
In 2.x you can add it to the view.
