Hi guys.

I am looking for a forum component and cant make final decision between kunena and ED.
Could u tell me pls, is it possible to get such info as:
- amount of threads and replies
- thread's name, date and author of the last post in a category
next to categories on the categories page?
Cant find in demo any options on these features.

Could ED and ES have 1 profile for both components, where ALL settings collected in a single place and users do not need to jump from one component to another in order to change any specific thing? Maybe such feature exists, but using demo I cant get the clear answer because it seems all components are not integrated to each other. Maybe Im wrong

Where is it possible to hide content of messages inside categories and leave just name of the topics as it is set on this forum? Where can I enable breadcrumbs? Cant find both settings in demo.

Is it possible to moderate messages (remove\edit)?

Thanks a lot for the answer!
Hello Anton,

To hide the content, you can go to Backend>Easydiscuss>Settings>Layout>General: http://screen.stackideas.com/2014-12-15_0912.png . As for the boxes, you can open this file: ../components/com_easydiscuss/themes/simplistic/frontpage.post.php and delete these line of codes: http://screen.stackideas.com/2014-12-15_0917.png . Hope this helps.

Hello Anton,

I'm sorry the only thing that displayed in the categories page is the number of discussion in that category: http://screen.stackideas.com/2014-12-15_0018.png

As for the integration, it is not possible to use one profile setting for both components. but here I give you an example of integration ED-ES options page so you can get an idea what are the capability of this integration : http://screen.stackideas.com/2014-12-15_0019.png

Where is it possible to hide content of messages inside categories and leave just name of the topics as it is set on this forum?

Can you elaborate more on this? Perhaps some screenshot would help.

Where can I enable breadcrumbs?

You have to enable the Breadcrumbs Module in Module Manager and it will show in Easydiscuss page: http://screen.stackideas.com/2014-12-15_0032.png

And lastly, Yes, it is possible to moderate message.

Hi Nick.
Thanks for the reply.

The 1st one from your current forum. The 2nd attachment is from the demo site.
My question is: where is the setting to hide content of discussion and where is the setting to enable boxes "replies, views, votes, likes"?

Thanks.
Anton
