Full Version: show "forum description" on each forum's page

For instance, my "General Discussion" forum has a description of "Anything Goes: Keep it polite."

How would I go about calling the variable that controls forum descriptions and what template to insert it into?

I'd like it to appear underneath the navbar stuff.

Hi ziuma  Smile

That's actually a very cool mod and I might consider installing it.

But I'm just looking for the ability to display the forum description near the header / navbar area in the ForumView.

I want to remind users visually of what types of threads should go in a forum.

This has to be easy for anybody with a better knowledge of variables and templates.

Anybody, anybody?  Smile

I just want the forum description displayed in the showforum template.
You can use {$foruminfo['description']} to display the forum description.
.. and it can be added into forumdisplay template (below {$header})
