SID-02264: Tables in Discussion forum add-in

Status:	Asked	TWiki version:		Perl version:
Category:		Server OS:		Last update:	9 years ago

I have the DiscussionForumAddOn installed in a new web.

I have been trying to gt a DiscussionForumOverview to work in a similar way to the one in the Sandbox example. I tried this by cutting and pasting the code that I found there and it half-way works. It delivers the table headings for both Discussion Forums and Recently Updated Topics, but does not put them in table form. As well as meaning that it won't look right, it also means that I don't get anything that tells users where to add a new topic.

I assume that there is something that is not being inherited. I had the installation process done by my organisation's web support technician as I don't have access to the hosting platform. I assumed that he correctly followed the instructions in the overview. Is this telling me that something was missed, or is there another answer?

Below is the code that I pasted into the DiscussionForumOverview topic.

Thanks for your help, Jon
