Xon submitted a new resource:

Aggregating Forums - Allows viewing threads from sub-forums in the parent forum.

Allows viewing threads from sub-forums in the parent forum.

Admin's Opt-in a forum (by default or make it available), and users can then opt-out depending on if they have the permission.

New Thread in the parent forum prompts the user to post in a child forum (if they are allowed) even if posting in the parent forum isn't permitted.

Features

• Display threads from child forums in parent forum
• User configuration, with admin defaults
• New Thread button offers to post in...

Does this put the sub node name against the thread like in new posts?

• New "Aggregate forums not in node list " option (disabled by default).
  • When enabled, forums without "Display in the node list" and are viewable by a user, will show up as aggregateable forums.
  • If you do not wish to disclose a particular forum, you must not allow aggregate on it or use permissions to control access.

Hi @Xon
I noticed that sticky threads don't show in parent forum, is this as designed?

I'll go with by "design oversight"

It only hooks the normal threads being populated, and the sticky threads are another path. It wouldn't be hard to hook both.

Would it be possible to make this work the same with categories? So that clicking on a category would show all the threads from the category's forums?

 

[Xon]

It would be tricky as the category node type has no support for threads which makes things very difficult.

Silently rewriting a category into a forum if it has aggregation enabled would be one solution, but I'ld need to tinker a bit.

Thanks!

Hi @Xon

Thanks!

It is actively used on the two forums I run; https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/ and https://forums.spacebattles.com/ in the user fiction and creative writing sections respectively. It isn't enabled on my dev site (https://atelieraphelion.com) as I need to setup some nested forum for it to be usable.

The configuration is only accessible by logged in users, which is documented in the screenshots.

 

[Breixo]

Great, thanks a lot. Like the way they show

 

[Breixo]

Installed and works correctly.
There's just one issue, don't know if bug or made on purpose: sticky threads do not show at the parent forum.
It would be nice to have the option to show them in the parent forum too.
At the parent forum they probably should be shown as non-sticky threads.
What's your opinion @Xon ?
Thanks!

Another question... is there any limit on forum aggregation?
I was adding them but it starting giving an error and I can't add anymore.

Kinda, there is a per-forum "Bypass Thread Friction" permission.

Per-forum opt-in (vs opt-out) is planned.

I'ld need to see the error. Bring up the dev tools (hit "f12"), go to the network tab, reload the page and trigger the error and can you post the output of the page which errors?

 

[Breixo]

Ok, info sended via PM
Thanks!

@Breixo Can you adjust your php.ini's max_input_vars to be higher? Try about 5000 or so.
