Forum Application Home

This discussion forum provides an easy way to post ideas or issues (called topics) and then track discussions around each topic (called replies). You can have as many discussion forums as you want in your JotSpot wiki. There are three ways to create a forum. They differ in their flexibility in choosing which page displays each forum.

1. Easy: Press the Button Below

This is the easiest way to create a forum, and recommended for most users. Give your forum page a name in the text box below, customize it if you want, and you're done. Your forum is a page below this page, ForumV2.



2. Intermediate: Apply a Form

You can create a new page anywhere in your wiki and then use the More Actions menu to apply a form to your new page. This will effectively "install" a forum on that page. You can configure your forum by editing the page.
Note: any existing page content will be hidden. Please choose the ForumV2Form.


3. Advanced: Use the <include> Tag

This is a more advanced option for developers or those comfortable with script markup. You can include a forum anywhere on any page by adding the following line of script to your wiki. Be sure to fill in your own information for each parameter.
Note:

  1. Make sure the include is actually one long line -- you can't have line breaks in the tag!
  2. The example below is for adding a forum to a page called TestForum1?. Substitue with your page's name.
<wiki:include node="Forum"
  forumTitle="Dev Q&A: Ask Development-Related Questions"
  forumDescription="This forum is dedicated to questions and answers about developing applications in JotSpot."
  buttonLabel="Ask a Dev Question"
  topicPagePrefix="DevQuestion"
  createMessage="Ask Your Dev Question"
  forumParent="TestForum1" />
