Adding New Topics Types

Each topic in a TikiWiki forum can be designated as a specific type. Each topic type is identified by a different icon:

• Normal
• Sticky
  When visitors display the list of topics in a forum, the "sticky" topics will always be shown at the top of the list, regardless of how visitors sort the list.
• Announcement
• Hot
• Locked
  Visitors cannot reply to any topic that is "locked."

You can use the different types to help site visitors identify important or new forum threads.

By default, when you create a new topic, Tiki uses the Normal topic type. You can easily change this to any other topic type:
