You can do this by editing a template but I don't recommend it for maintenance reasons as you may get template merge conflicts during an upgrade and you would have to resolve the conflicts every time. I prefer this approach better using an Ad module as this will not get affected by future upgrades.
Below are the steps:
- Go to a Forum Channel Page.
- Enable Sitebuilder (Edit Site ON)
- Click Edit Page.
- Drag and drop an Ad Module onto the page below the Page Title Module.
- Edit the Ad Module by clicking on the Pencil icon.
- Fill out the config form
Title: Forum Description (or anything, it doesn't matter as this will not be displayed)
Keep default values in other fields. - Click Edit button in the Config Ad option.
- Click Add New Ad button.
- Enter Ad title (e.g. Forum Description)
- Enter the following HTML code and template variable. NOTE: The code in red is required as a workaround for vB 5.2.4 and above until this JIRA bug report is fixed. For vB 5.2.3 and below, do not add them.
Kod:
</vb:literal> <div class="custom-forum-channel-desc h-align-left"> {vb:raw page.nodedescription} </div> <vb:literal>
- Check "Active" checkbox.
- Save the form.
- Save the page.
- Overwrite the template. This makes the changes to the template available to all the Forum channel pages.
- (Optional) If you want to style the forum description, you can add custom CSS in css_additional (or via Sitebuilder > Style > CSS Editor) with this CSS rule:
Kod:
.custom-forum-channel-desc { /* custom style here */ }
Kod:
<style> .custom-forum-channel-desc { /* custom style here */ } </style>
