Help Needed A newbie - Forum alignment
kunal981 - March 28, 2008 - 06:21
Hi
I am new to drupal and would be more relieved than pleased if you could help me on this.
I am creating forum. First i create a container say container1 and a form1 inside it. Then i create a forum topic1 inside form1 .
Then this forum topic1 is included in Primary links inside menu.
Now what i want to do is
create another container2 , inside which forum2 and corresponding forumtopic2 and want to assign it same primary link as first container had.
Then when i click primary key i should see both these containers( all forums inside it ) on the same page. one after the other.
If you could guide me on this it would be great help for me.
Thanks
not sure
not quite sure what you are getting at...
- you have a container, with a forum and a forum topic
- you have another container, with another forum and another topic
you wish to click on a link and see a listing of all containers and forums you created?
if it is similar to drupal.org's forums page, (note the address), then use "forum" as your link destination.
if you wish to link directly to a container or forum, hover over your respective titles to see the destination and adjust your links accordingly.
i hope i understood that correctly...
"forum" link doesnot work
Thanks so much 'tm' for your time and guidance however i am still stuck.
You got that right that i wish to see complete listing of all my forums on a single page by click of a link.
The target page should look like this-:
Container1
all forum's and forum topic contained in container1.
Container2
all forum's and forum topics contained in container2
Container3
all forum's and forum topics contained in container3
Yes somewhat like Drupal's Forum page
But what i achieve are three different pages , each page containing 1 container.
My link code is something like
http://drupal.org/forum/1 for 1st container
http://drupal.org/forum/2 for 2nd container
I tried as u said http://drupal.org/forum/
But this doesnot works as some kind of error is generated which goes like this
"Fatal error: Call to undefined function: _forum_format()"
If you could take some time out to guide me more on it it would be great help for me
Thanks
hmmm
are you saying "http://drupal.org/forum/" does not work (clear your browser cache), or that http://yoursite/forum/ does not work? that is interesting, as the "/forum" path is built-in to drupal.
are you using a "core" theme? if not, can you change to a core theme and see if it works there? don't forget to disable any caching, if enabled. the idea here is to remove as many variables as you can from your troubleshooting process.
i am assuming that no core code has been touched. oh, would it be possible to see your working environment (os+version, web server+version, php+version, db+version, enabled core modules, contrib modules you have enabled, contrib modules in the folder but not enabled)? also, any mods you may have done (don't need to see code, yet.). it may help.
I have Sky theme enabled
Thanks Todd for helping me on it and spending your valuable time on it.
http://mysite/forum doesnot work on my site. I am not using standard theme. I am using SKY theme.
Yes when I clear my cache and switch back to default theme i.e Garland The link http://mysite/forum works.
When my SKY theme is enabled and i use link http://mysite/forum then i get a php error which says Fatal error: Call to undefined function: _forum_format() in /home/mysite/sites/all/themes/sky/advforum/forum-list.tpl.php on line 52 .
No core code has been touched by me.

ah
you should go back to the theme's project page; apparently, there is an issue specifically related to your problem (sky theme and forums on d6). there seems to be a few issues submitted; maybe you can follow their status; be careful about any "solutions" that include hacking core modules (like forum). that only brings grief in the long-term.
sorry; hope it works out for you, in the end.

Thanks
Yes i saw there there is some problem with Sky and Drupal -6
Thanks for your guidance
