I've noticed that Jen has created two different Foruns at jensocial.com - one named "Social Network Listings" and the other named "Social Network Forum".

 

Since Ning dosen't allow us to create sub-categories at a Forum, I think Jen came up with a smart way to organize content by multipling Forum feature for different purposes: the first to host most members discussions and the second to host a network listings.


I wonder how this can be done... I mean, how can we create a second Forum for the same network? Is it possible to go further and create a third, forth or +?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Gus,
Unfortunately, I don't know of a way to do this, now. Ours came from the previous Scripts4Ning scripts, which are not available except for the sites that were originally subscribers.

And, in the past when we had WebDav access, we could create a secondary forum by adding special files to the backend.

Maybe when Ning releases the new API (Application Programming Interface), a good Developer will figure out a way to create a secondary forum.

Best Regards,
Jen
I hope so, Jen! My intention was to use distinct Forums to better organize my network content...
BTW, do you have any good practice to share about how to organise content on the network? I've seen some NC using Notes to publish static content ( like "About Us" or "Products Portfolio" while others use Forums to post either discussions and content.
Best,
Gus
Hi Gus,
Not really, except via Categories under Forum Discussions. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Ning will offer Categories for more areas, like: Groups, Photos, Videos, etc... so we can organize our content better.
Best,
Jen

Hey I think your are good developer and coach,..... so there.
BTW check out the newer version OregonShout

no top banner yet,... but a collage of historic places throughout the state is a thought.
James and Terry,
Very nice! And if you don't mind me saying: 1000xs improvement. I love the banner!

Nah, I'm a Designer and a Hacker. I'm not really a Developer except small apps.

Best,
Jen
