Issue Summary
Hey,
I'm trying to get the description of each container to be above the forum list when the user navigates into the container. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I've made $container_description to the forum list template but haven't worked it into any of the included styles or added it to the documentation. Leaving this active as there is still more work to do. Will be after the alpha, though.

I too need that feature.
I did not understand well:
Can I find it in the 2 dev ?

2.x is still under development though, so the fact that it's going to be in 2.x doesn't help me. Is 2.x stable enough yet to use on a production site? If not, can you give us a snippet of code to inject into 1.x to do this?

That was 1.5 years ago so I don't remember much about it... Reading the issue, it looks like you'd need
<?php print $container_description; ?>I wouldn't recommend using 2.x, yet, if you don't know even basic PHP. It works pretty well but it's still alpha.

I was able to fix this in 1.x with the following simple hack. It involves editing advanced_forum.module though so do it at your own risk.
STEP 1:
Find the function advanced_forum_preprocess_forums() in advanced_forum.module by searching for "advanced_forum_preprocess_forums".
STEP 2:
Within this function, just a few lines below the function declaration, you should see a line like this:
$variables['forum_description'] = '';Delete this line and replace it with the following three lines (which are located a few lines below the code mentioned above):
// Grab the forum description and make it available to the template file$forum = taxonomy_get_term($variables['tid']);
$variables['forum_description'] = $forum->description;
Save your changes and upload to server. Voila!
