Discussion Board Server Controls

The Discussion Board feature provides a forum where topics can be discussed on your Web site. A CMS or membership user with Add Topic permission creates a topic and posts a starter question. Any site visitor can then reply.

Ektron provides three server controls for use with Discussion Boards.

Forum Server Control - use to place a Discussion Board on a Web page

ActiveTopics Server Control - use to display the most active or most recent topics and posts

PostHistory Server Control - use to display a list of posts for a user
