[Zope-CMF] newbie discussion question

[Norman Khine]

Hi Tim, best way to do this is to create a topic, with the following
criteria:

Field id: meta_type
Criteria type: String Criterion

then add to the Value box Discussion Item, and save.

Now you will have all discussion items listed for your portal. You can
extend this by modifying the criteria more as per your requirements.

Then ALL ;^) you have to do to add it to your actions_box is to modify it by
adding an entry something like:

<td width="7%"><img src="folder_icon.gif" width="16" height="16"></td>
<td width="42%">  <a
href="/Portal/Members/member1/topicID_20010702223900">Discussions</a></td>

Main thing, to remeber is to put a href to point to the actual place where
the topic is stored.

It will be great if one can have both the topics and the sub_topics
generated as a drop-down list, perhaps this is an html/dtml issue?! or
java... any ideas!

Hope this helps.

Norman

Hi all

Ok what i want to do is create a link in the actions box to all the
discussion threads that any member has created and then display all the
discussion threads. So far the only way i have found of accessing
discussions is by doing a search for them and then clicking on the results,
however this would not be very user friendly.
Do i have to create a topic that filters out the Discussion Items? or how do
i do this? any help/documentation about?

cheers

Tim
