Solved New param Topic template in category settings: what it is used for?

Hello,
I discovered a new param in category settings called Topic template.
What is it used for? Can anyone give an example?


Thanks.

This is a default text that will be displayed on a new topic in the text field (see image).

Wow, this is a great feature! Thank you for the reply.

Hi @rich,
I've tried to test this feature but unfortunately got no success.
Please have a look at screenshots:

A Topic template was added to the demo category "Welcome mat".



When I create a new topic in this category, I do not see predefined text in text-area.

Kunena 5.1.5
Crypsis BS3 (no WYSIWYG, but BBCode editor is enabled in template settings)
PHP 7.2.1

I see on your image also not the first column (see image), so I think, the editor is loaded from the cache.
Click on New Topic, then press Strg+F5. If does not help, then empty also the Joomla cache.

Hi rich,

I've cleared browser cache and now all works fine.
Thank you for the tip.

I was surprised with a modal window that appears with two buttons "Replace content / Replace content and keep existing". Would be good to avoid such modal window since if the user is creating a new topic, there is no need to keep the existing (empty) field, so this is an extra action.
