Forum Description on Threads

[avalanch]

Hi, I want to know if anyone has figured out a way to show the forum descriptions on showthread pages?

I've had this for vbulletin 4 and I'd like to know if there is a way to do this on xenforo 2, thanks. I guess at xenforo the proper term would be Node description?

I didn’t know what showthread pages means but forum descriptions are added in a Admin Control Panel > Forums > Nodes

Edit the Node description.

Edit NB make sure descriptions activated in Style Properties Node/Forum list.

Edit2 oops just realised this is in Addon requests.

Ok here's an example of what I mean if it helps. See how right below thread title, the node description is printed directly below it (example taken from a vbulletin 4 forum). Can this be done in xenforo?

Any ideas yet on this?

Btw @Mr Lucky it's called "thread_view" here at xenforo.

Ah, I didn't realise you want the forum description to show under a thread title.

It's all good and the solution was simpler than I thought. However, if anyone would like to throw some styling options at it, please mention it here thanks.

You can add the forum description by inserting a code snippet like this:

<div class="forumDescription">{$forum.description}</div>

I've added it right below this on my forums.

<xf:title page="{$page}">{{ prefix('thread', $thread, 'escaped') }}{$thread.title}</xf:title>
<xf:h1>{{ prefix('thread', $thread) }}{$thread.title}</xf:h1>
