Mikkel, possible via custom code modification.

Easiest way is just to use Custom HTML widgets on needed pages and add links to needed group forums into the widgets.

Mikkel, within the custom html widget you can add any kind of links.
I suggest giving links to Group's forums.

For example. I would like to have a box with links to Group Forum topic in my main page.
1. Log in as admin>>go to main page>>click "Customize this page">>place "Custom HTML" widget to the needed place using drag&drop
2. Add the links into the Custom HTML widget.
3. Finish customizing.

Result:



If you would like to add links to the "Forum" page itself ( url: yousitename.com/forum), then you will need to edit .html files of the "Forum" plugin.

Then i just put links myself?

Cant it get automated, so i dont have to post the links myself?

Its hard for me to explain hehe, i mean people dont write in forum but in group forums now, so i would love to get the group forum in the real forum on the page so its both places.. you understand? :)

That is so cool, that somebody has already created the plugin which is exactly what you have been looking for Mikkel )).

Purusothaman, I believe moderation team will be able to review the plugin in the beginning of next week.

Answering your question:

>>Then i just put links myself?

Yes, the solution I suggested requires admin to add links manually.
Purusothaman Ramanujam
