"Embedded" Forums

Adonis, 24 Oct 2008 11:19 AM

We're launching a new concept in Community Server 2008 called embedded forums (currently dogfooding).  What you see right here is how this embedded forum works (go ahead and create a comment - the comment will be posted to a test forum on CommunityServer.com):

EmbeddedForums The way this thing works is that there's a tab in our forums app that let's you set some parameters for how embedable (embedible? embeddable? embed-able?) forums should work and Community Server provides you with a script tag that you can drop on basically anything. 

Now we have the ability to comment on basically any content!  I tested this for the first time while on a demo with a client - I know that's a bad idea!  I told them as I did it that it was a bad idea but it was just too easy; I had to do it and it worked out great.  I just dropped the script below in a local HTML file sitting on my desktop the loaded the HTML in my browser... 

The script provided by Community Server for this forum is: 

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://telligent.com/communities/technical/communityserver/archives/test_forums_archive_read_only_1/f/9/embed.aspx"></script>

I can drop that script in a Graffiti site, right here in my blog, on an HTML page - whatever...  So easy!  Every page that uses that above script will create a different thread back on the CommunityServer.com site in the Test Forum (No Anonymous Posts) forum.

    • @Telcos, your systems are junk: If I don't have to pay for a call, don't make me dial 1+. If I dial 1+ and it's a free call, go, don't warn!
