Hello Everyone, Thank you for reading this request

posts: 12

Wanted to take a moment to thank the person who put together the online book Tiki for Smarties, I am working my way through it slowly but surely and it is some great stuff.

With that said, I am trying to figure out how to add different features to the main page of my site, specifically forums at first. If you go to my site you will notice that I have added one forum to the main page, however I have 5 other forums setup, and I cannot remember how to get them to display on the main page as well. So, thank you for taking the time to quickly explain how to make this happen.

Now, if there is anyone who would like to help me in setting up my site I sure could use a hand. My site is www.soulmeds.org It is a social network / charity portal I am setting up for people with illnesses to come together and share information, network etc. Through this community I hope to be able to raise money to provide assistance to individuals who have an emergency need for medications and for whatever reason cannot afford them.

I will accept any and all assistance possible in helping to setup this community and drive the vision forward. I also firmly believe in returning back to the community that helps, so a part of my vision is to donate a portion of the proceeds back into the open source community which in this case would be tiki.

In closing I would like to thank the developers who have put this CMS together, the reason I chose this one was because of how excellent the documentation has been and the willingness of people within this community to help out. Thank you very much for your time.

Hi Dave and welcome to the Tiki community.

About the question regarding the homepage, as you said, you're currently using one particular forum as the homepage. There isn't a way to add other forums to this address, because it is "tiki-view_forum.php?forumId=1", that is, it specifies forum number 1. You could use the page that lists all the forums, tiki-forums.php, or you could use a wiki page that links to the forums one way or another.

In addition to Gary's suggestions, you could also use some of the forum plugins to list the most recent posts in each form (which would link to the actual forum post). You can easily add these to a wiki home page.

Oh, and thanks for the kind words about Smarties... I'm glad you find it useful.

HTH,
