XF 1.5 Can I style a forum like a blog?

[rhodes]

We would like to add a blog to our forum, but not for all users, only three admins will write blog articles. Registered users should be able to comment.

Instead of installing an additional blog addon for our three admins my idea was to use a XF forum as a blog. However, a forums default layout is completely different to a blog layout. Is it possible to adjust templates (and layout) for a single forum id? What would you do?

Yes, it's possible.

You can either use the style override option for the node in question and create a new style, or use conditional statements in the templates targeting the node ID.

Personally I would go for the first option.

Thank you @Brogan . I think I will try the first option.

Were you able to do something in this front?
