Blank Discussion Body

thejason40

Hi.

Bit of a strange request but is it possible to allow the body of a discussion to be blank as long as it has a title? Thank you

it can look blank, but without a code change you can't leave it empty.

Thanks for that, it worked like a charm. I had searched already but couldn't find it. Now I just need to move a few things around on the page. Namely, 'DiscussionHeader' needs to be above 'PageTitle'. Hopefully this won't be too hard to do if I can locate the right file.

do you just want the title repeated in body if null body? (effectively similar without getting rid of Page Title.).

public function DiscussionController_BeforeDiscussionBody_Handler($Sender) {
            $Discussion = $Sender->EventArguments['Discussion'];
              if ($Discussion->Body == "") {
                echo $Sender->Title($Discussion->Name);
           }
}
