Question How to promote the forum article to frontpage of Joomla?

Hi Guys,

I am wondering "How to promote the forum article to frontpage of Joomla?" from backend?

Is there any "popular posts" module/plugin which we can use to place on the frontpage?

Thanks a lot!

latestposts and discussbot modules are in developement along side K1.6

I would also like to add, in addition to the new work that is being undertaken for K 1.6, there is not, at the moment, any software available for K 1.5 that displays latest posts or creates forum topics from Joomla articles (this feature is sometimes referred to as a "discussbot").

As far as generating a "latest posts" module is concerned, you can try A simple alternative to the "latest posts module"

Hello sozzled,

your method doesn't work anymore, at least on last version of 1.5 Apparently it doesnt work even on your demo page.

Is there any solution?

Thank you in advance.

My method does work at my demo site. The reason that you may not have seen any "latest forum posts" at my demo site is that I haven't posted any messages at my forum for the past month (and I only use the last month's forum data for the RSS feed). My site is for demonstration purposes; it's not something I need to keep posting messages at just to demonstrate whether things keep working or not.

However, for your sake, I posted a message at my demo site; there's now something in the "latest forum posts" display.

This same general approach, to create an alternative "latest posts" display using the Kunena RSS feed, most definitely works in K 1.6, too! I'm just not prepared to post the details of any of my other sites (where I can show you) in this forum.

If people cannot create a news feed module from the Kunena display (using the general instructions that I've posted in A simple alternative to the "latest posts module" , what are they doing and what conditions are they experiencing? As long as your Kunena RSS feed can display your latest forum messages then all you have to do is this: get the URL of your Kunena feed, plug it into your Joomla "news feed" module and publish this module wherever you want to.
