Querying for Forums

Vote:
 

Hi,

Reading Helenas topic on querying for certain topics in certain rooms, got me to thinking on how I'm going to solve this cunundrum:

My customer wants Forums to be visible or hidden in a solution. I see that Room has a Concealed propterty, but not Forum. This leads me to think i need an Attribute on Forum that is a boolean. 

Can I then use

ForumQuery fq = new ForumQuery();
BooleanCriterion sq = new BooleanCriteron();
sq.Value =false;
fq["ForumIsVisible"] = sq;

ForumCollection VisibleForums = ForumHandler.GetQueryResult(fq);

And then do the same query for hidden Forums where sq.Valuse = true; And put it all in a nifty usercontrol, and use it on different places in the solution.

Hi Marius,

Yes this would be possible. Or you you could use just one Forum and have several levels of rooms instead and display the root level rooms as forums instead of rooms Wink

 

Best regards,

Just a quick question: Rooms can be nested/leveled, but is this handled automatically by the community, or do I need to redo my application architecture to achieve this? Can't really say my application is intentionally designed to support several levels of Rooms... But I definetly see the appeal :)

Hi,

Don't exactly get what you mean... Nested rooms are supported by default and they will show up in the administration. But on the site you must display them yourself by getting child rooms of rooms.

Best regards,
Tom
