A video demonstration of this plugin can be seen here: Supports: - Topics - Channels - Members - Posts - RSS Feeds Installation ------------ [](#installation) This plugin is available for installation via [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/). ``` composer require winter/wn-forum-plugin ``` After installing the plugin you will need to run the migrations and (if you are using a [public folder](https://wintercms.com/docs/develop/docs/setup/configuration#using-a-public-folder)) [republish your public directory](https://wintercms.com/docs/develop/docs/console/setup-maintenance#mirror-public-files). ``` php artisan migrate ``` Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) The forum does not require immediate configuration to operate. However the following options are available. - Forum categories (Channels) can be managed via the System > Channels menu. - Forum members can be managed via the User menu. Displaying a list of channels ----------------------------- [](#displaying-a-list-of-channels) The plugin includes a component forumChannels that should be used as the main page for your forum. Add the component to your page and render it with the component tag: ``` {% component 'forumChannels' %} ``` You should tell this component about the other forum pages. - **channelPage** - the page used for viewing an individual channel's topics. - **topicPage** - the page used for viewing a discussion topic and posts. - **memberPage** - the page used for viewing a forum user. ### RSS feed [](#rss-feed) Use the `forumRssFeed` component to display an RSS feed containing the latest blog posts. The following properties are supported: - **channelFilter** - a channel slug to filter the topics by. If left blank, all topics are displayed. - **topicsPerPage** - how many topics to display on the feed. The default value is 20. - **forumPage** - path to the main forum page. - **topicPage** - path to the topic details page. The component can be used on any page, it will hijack the entire page cycle to display the feed in RSS format. The next example shows how to use it: ``` title = "RSS Feed" url = "/forum/rss.xml" [forumRssFeed] forumPage = "forum" topicPage = "forum/topic" == ``` Example page structure ---------------------- [](#example-page-structure) #### forum/home.htm [](#forumhomehtm) ``` title = "Forum" url = "/forum" layout = "default" [forumChannels] memberPage = "forum/member" channelPage = "forum/channel" topicPage = "forum/topic" == Forum {% component 'forumChannels' %} ``` #### forum/channel.htm [](#forumchannelhtm) ``` title = "Forum" url = "/forum/channel/:slug" layout = "default" [forumChannel] memberPage = "forum/member" topicPage = "forum/topic" == {{ channel.title }} {% component 'forumChannel' %} ``` #### forum/topic.htm [](#forumtopichtm) ``` title = "Forum" url = "/forum/topic/:slug" layout = "default" [forumTopic] memberPage = "forum/member" channelPage = "forum/channel" == {{ topic.subject }} {% component 'forumTopic' %} ``` #### forum/member.htm [](#forummemberhtm) ``` title = "Forum" url = "/forum/member/:slug" layout = "default" [forumMember] channelPage = "forum/channel" topicPage = "forum/topic" == {{ member.username }} {% component 'forumMember' %} ``` ### Health Score 40 — FairBetter than 88% of packages Maintenance48 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity23 Limited adoption so far Community25 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity58 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 71.3% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
