Resolved Where is the setting that creates threads from articles?

Its a category option (so that you can manage it on a per category basis).

 

Both times you've caught me when I am here I do try my best to respond the same day tho

 

Automatically, No (well, at least not without customization that would require programming).

You could manually edit the first post and use the article embed function of the editor to add the embed article, however, that is just a small thumbnail.

Something like this...

Grab the AMS BB Code from the Share this article sidebar block.. .



Go to the discussion thread... (this is XF 2.2, but its the same process for earlier xf 2 versions).



Edit the first post of the thread... If you have the AMS BB Code added to the editor toolbar, you can choose the article via that function (or just copy the AMS bbcode from the article itself (as mentioned above).



Remove the existing text and add the AMS BB Code.



Click on Preview to make sure its rendering the AMS BB Code (as shown below).



And Save...



Probably not what you wanted, but figured I'd let you (and anyone else reading this), a neat trick

 

No, just the Navigation Tab and the Sidebar Block (which is a button). In medium and narrow responsive, the sidebar moves below the article, so in essence, there IS a link to the thread via the button in the sidebar.

 

have you tried EDITING the post?

The TEXT can be changed (its a phrase), however, the LINK is done via PHP, so you'd have to modify programming code (in the article create service).
