Modules - Threads

The Threads module allows your community to host structured discussions, similar to a forum.

Members can create discussion topics (“threads”), share ideas, ask questions, and reply to other members.

Install the Threads module Select Threads in the left-hand menu.

If you don't know how to add the thread module go to the App Configuration - Module tutorial

Configure the Module

In the Threads settings, you can enable or disable different interaction options.

Simply switch on or off the options you want, then click Save Changes.

Thread Permissions

These settings control how discussions are created and managed.

• Allow users to create threads – members can start new discussion topics.
• Allow owners to pin messages – the author of a thread can pin important messages.
• Allow comments – members can reply to threads.
• Allow shares – members can share threads.

If the “Allow users to create threads” option is disabled, only administrators will be able to create threads.

Numbers Display

These options control which engagement metrics are visible.

You can choose to display:

• Number of likes
• Number of dislikes
• Number of shares

These indicators help members see which discussions generate the most engagement.

Depending on your settings:

• Members can create threads directly from the app

Step 2: Click on the + button on the bottom right of the screen

Step 3: Enter a title and a description of the thread. You can also enter a visual but it is not compulsory
