Creating Forum Templates

The following examples are based on the templates in the forum-demo publication. They show how to use the Forum plug-in to add forum functionality to a publication, concentrating on the use of the Forum plug-in components. User access control is achieved using standard components delivered with the Content Engine: this is therefore not described in detail here.

You will find all the examples given below in the forum-demo publication's index.jsp file. The examples require the following tag library inclusions:

<%@ taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-html" prefix="html" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://www.escenic.com/taglib/escenic-forum" prefix="forum" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
