Getting Started with Message Boards

Liferay DXP’s Message Boards app is a forum application which can be added to any DXP site page. A Message Board on DXP can be scoped to a site, including a regular site, an organization’s site, or a user’s profile site or dashboard site.

Adding Message Boards to a Site

The fastest way to begin using the Message Boards app is to deploy the widget to a Site Page.

1. Navigate to the site and page desired (e.g. Forum Page).

   

2. Click the Add button.

3. Click Widgets then Collaboration to expand the menu.

   

4. Drag and drop the Message Boards widget to the desired location on the page.

   

Site members are able to create forum posts using the Message Boards widget. Note that there can be only one Message Boards widget per page.
