Merged How do I change the "default view" of the forum from Recent Topics to Index?

See the FAQs page (menu item at the top of the page you are now looking at): How do I change the "default view" of the forum from Recent Topics to Index?

I would like my members to go to INDEX tab instead of RECENT TOPICS tab when they go into Kunena Forum. Is this a setting, hack or mod?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice that anyone can give me.

Hi,

The Kunena default supported direct to Index page or Recent topic page. To answer your question you do any following steps.

Step 1: Login to your back-end.
Step 2: Go to the forum menu in the back-end.
Step 3: Look the right side. In the Menu item choose the "Index".
Step 4: Save and back to front-end and refresh.

Please see the following image.




Regards!

Thanks a lot. Works like a charm.

I'm going cross-eyed looking for the option that allows me to display the Index Page instead of the Recent Topics page when you open the forum (Kunena 2.0.4.) Where is that option? I can't find it anywhere. :huh:

Hi Cathy,

Go to backend - Menu - Kunena Menu

Open Forum item

change to index at "Default Menu Item"

Thank you! I was going crazy looking for that.

Hello and good afternoon,
I have [strike]two[/strike] questions regarding setting up the forums and getting them to work for us.

1) I have a question regarding the breadcrumbs and the Forum Home. I noticed that on our test site if you click either breadcrumbs (kunenas or joomla's) it takes us to the Recent Topics instead of the forums Index page. I notice that 'index' is not applied to the bredcrumbs (neither Joomlas nor Kunenas) url.

I am sure I missed something. Can you let me know how to fix this? I know it is possible as it is done here as I would like.

[strike]2) Also, I notice that I cannot get the menu item to work correctly. I would like to have the forum menu item to display it as 'active'. (hover and focus work fine).

G'day, sarenne, and welcome to Kunena.

This topic explains how to change the default view (the forum "home") from "Recent Topics" to a category Index view.

I have removed your second question. We prefer that people ask questions relating to a single subject. If you have a question on a different subject, please use a separate topic for those other questions. As general background, you should read Kunena Menu issues in the Wiki.
