Forum group webpart

First step, you never want to modify Kentico's existing items. Make sure to CLONE the web part first (Files and object).

Next, on the cloned object in the Web Parts module, go to the "Fields" tab and add your field.

Then, modify the cloned ASCX webpart file to do the logic you need to.

In the forum group webpart ,i am not able to get the code of the form. I want to add a new field to the form which gets displayed when i click "reply" link . This form is integrated with "forum group" webpart. I dont want to add a field to forum,i want to add a field to a form which gets displayed when we click on "Reply" link. I am not able to get the code where i can edit this form which is integrated in "forum group" webpart.

I am using kentico 8.2

Clone all of the webparts that would be involved then, and make your customizations where needed. If there is an embedded control from cmsmodules, then clone that control and make your customizations to the cloned control, then change the path on your other cloned control to match your newly created webpart.

First you'd start by looking in the Forums module and adding a field there to the forum post class.

Secondly you'd look at the documentation about the layout of the forum. This has the needed pieces on it you may or may not need to customize for your particular forum. I believe the one you will be customizing will be the Thread.ascx* files.

I want to know how can i add new fields into the forum post class ? In the code behind? Can you please show me a code snippet to do it.Actually i need the field to be added to the form which gets displayed in the forum group webpart ,when i click on "Reply" link.

Please give me a breakthrough as i am stuck on this.I want to add a textbox into that Reply form. Please let me know a solution.

I tried to add a new field into the forum post class,but I dont have the access to it.I am getting this message showing "Properties on the General Tab cannot be modified in installed modules .The other tabs remain customizable".When i clicked on the Classes i am getting this message "Classes cannot be created or deleted in installed modules".Please let me know how to add a field to the class ? .Do we have any other solution to this ?

We wont have the permission to edit the "Forum Post" class.Please let me know if there is any other way to do this.

Hi Everyone,

To edit the "reply" form of the forum or to add a new field to that form which is inside the forum. We need to edit "NewPost.ascx" but once we add a field to this file , to map it we need to add a field to "ForumPostInfo" class. But its a built in dll, so Please let me know how i can move forward? It will be a great help.

Regards, PRAJWAL

If you haven't already figured this out, there is a way to do this without needing to map any of it. You can simply do something like forumInfoObject.SetValue("ColumnName", objectValue) in the reply button event.
