I think from memory chainbb just had a single forum per subject area. So I had a Basic Income forum, and it was just a single forum with no categories or sub forums. So I was able to set it so that any time someone wrote a post on steem with the tags basicincome, ubi etc it would show up in the forum. There was no "importing" of posts, chainBB was basically just another front end on the steem blockchain. It was just a different way of organising the blockchain data.
@revo, once logged in you should see a settings option in top left, there you can setup your categories, we can help you with categories and subcategories as the admin panel is not 100% finished, I think you can only set categories currently, but if you give us a site structure we can manually set it up for you. Have a look at https://drugwars.tokenbb.io for an example.
Jesta's old chainBB forum allowed the admin of a forum to set tags that would pick up any steem posts matching those tags and include them in the forum. Is this an option on tokenBB?
@revo I saw your message come up but can't find it easily on chain as all messages go to one comments section. Ie the forum is a post, the topics and replies and the replies are nested comments. Also Tokenbb is one way, if you reply via Partiko or Steemit.com it won't show on the forum.
please can you paste everything you said over here on https://test.tokenbb.io. I did briefly see that you can't see the settings, I will get @reggaemuffin to look into it in about 8 hours.
Hi @thecryptodrive. Here's what I posted (via steempeak). I sorted the settings thing, just logged out and in again.
While I've got you here, another question...

@revo, can you expand on that a little? How were the posts imported, ie all the post data and images imported as a topic? or was just a post link imported as a reply in a specific topic?
What about comments on the post, were those imported too?
The idea is to be one-way otherwise people can write malicious code on the Steem side and gets imported to our blog, also having to poll the chain all the time for new updates makes it very resource intensive, but ur dev team can have better insights into whether this would be possible.
As you can see we need many urgent features like admin categories management first before we look at something like this.

Do you guys have a discord channel?

Do you have a list of categories/sub-categories for your forum?
Then, you have to get the word out! :-)
PS: No list just yet but soon™

I don't see a settings link to create categories etc.

There's no settings icon that I can see. In the top left is your tokenBB icon. Clicking it does nothing.
edit: logged out and in again, and it appeared. Cheers.
