hi all
Have just installed the UIE forum, and can I say, it kicks ass. Really good, such an upgrade of the normal forums.

One feature I would like to find out (this may have already been covered but I cant find it anywhere, so apologises if it is) is to change the Block view avaliable for the forums.

At the moment I have a block I can add anywhere else on the site that displays only the titles from recent posts.

What I would like to have is a full page view that displays the latest started threads, so it shows the full thread blog-style. Would love to have it display the full first post for any thread, and maybe show the number of replies it already has.

I can do this with the normal Drupal forum by using views, having a filter for a content type and then displaying content by creation date, but as UIE doesnt use the same content managment as normal Drupal I dont know how to access it.

If anyone could be off help, then Id really be apriciated. Thanks guys

DK

This is a more problematic request than you'd first think I'm afraid.
Ideally drupal's system could handle this sort of request, but as the module doesn't currently use the node system its not possible.

There's nothing stopping you from creating your own page that executes a custom uieforum function for displaying it as you see fit though.
Well, providing you know PHP and Drupal 5.1 that is :)

I'm closing this for now - whenever I get off my ass and move uieforum to nodes this won't be a problem. Thanks for the request!
