One minor issue - I've nest the Forum pages under my Home page, and tweaked the master templates for the Login and Register to ~/Forum/Login.aspx etc.
However if I go to EditProfile.aspx, it's finding the page but at the root of the site ie ~/EditProfile.aspx. It's working fine, but I'd rather it went to ~/Forum/EditProfile.aspx.
Is there an easy way to set the root to /Forum for the forum?
Yes, 4 topics and 5 posts. the categories page show. how much topics i have. but when i click to enter in the topic nforum don't show any text only the green style sheet
Realise I'm resurrecting an old thread here, but I've just installed nForum 1.5 and I'd still like to achieve this. Right now I have the following URLs:
/forum-search.aspx
/forum-register.aspx
/forum-login.aspx
/general-discussion.aspx
/general-discussion/faq.aspx
And I'd like them all to sit under /forum/. Looking at this recommended post I cannot see the Forum Main Category level, although I seem to recall a post where that was removed a while back.
If I create a forum category called "forums" and move everything under there, I get the correct URL structure, but an additional link in the sub navigation:
I got around it much easier by just setting the forum folder to hostname 'forum.mydomain.co.uk' and then just directing all forum traffic to there. After that, profile, login etc. all sit in that subdomain and there was no need to shift anything around.
Works a treat - just put live a new installation makes it easier to split the traffic for reporting as well :)
Probably not what you were after but thought I'd share it in case it's not something you've considered.
Your welcome! Note that the login page is shared by the main site and the forum, as the path is /login, but that shouldn't be an issue as they share the same membership db. Have fun!
Setting the root of the forum
Hi,
Just installed nForum - very impressed!

Hi Tony,
Appreciate the coments :) Have a look at the below
http://www.blogfodder.co.uk/2011/1/28/installing-nforum-into-an-existing-site
Excellent cheers Lee - must have missed that in the install notes (apologies - typical developer just diving in!!)
No worries, let me know if you have any other problems :)
hi i set the level to 3 and the categories appear. cheer
but the topics and posts no. so sad
The categories list show correctly the number of topics and posts, but the topics and posts don't appear, the post content don't appear.
i'm using umbraco 4.6.1 and webmatrix
Have you created some topics and posts?
Yes, 4 topics and 5 posts. the categories page show. how much topics i have. but when i click to enter in the topic nforum don't show any text only the green style sheet
Some screen shots would be good, also have you you added ?umbDebugShowTrace=true to see if that shows anything?

Any ideas what to do?
