Can I configure the "More" options in Forum responses?

Question

We are running into situations where moderators are accidentally selecting "Report as abusive" rather than "Verify Answer". 
 I would like to rearrange this menu and move the Report option down. I assume this is in Administration and involves some coding, but I cannot find the option anywhere. 
 Has anyone done this, or can you confirm if this is an option?

Hey Nettie ! Great question. Just took a look at the widget and yes it is an Administration thing to do, but in the widget code, the list could be re-arranged to whatever order you want. Just need to move the snippet of code around to where you would like. Not incredibly difficult to do as it is a copy/paste of the block of code, but do want to make sure you move it in the right spot. 
 I'm happy to help you out with this and for reference we would be looking at the Forum - Thread widget and callback-more-reply-actions. 
 Thanks!

You're in the correct place Nettie . Inside the widget called Forum - Thread should be a file called callback-more-reply-actions.vm. Within that file you should be able to find the following code: ## Report abuse #if ($isRegistered) #end This should be lines 114-119. Highlight that code and cut it out. Then scroll to the very bottom and find the following code: #end Then paste the code you cut just above those two lines. If you want to go through this via WebEx please let me know. It should only take 5 minutes.

Hi Nettie . That action works the same way, but it's in the content-thread-start.vm attachment instead (at line 277). Otherwise, it's the same place: Admin > Interface > Widget Studio > Forum - Thread. Thank you for the good feedback about it being too easy to select; I'll raise this as an issue. ## Report abuse #if ($isRegistered) #end

Hi WillMcKnight . Forum Thread is a bit of a unique case when it comes to its use of the links UI Component , in that its collapsed more links are loaded dynamically from a callback due to how they're calculated. As such, those particular more links are included in that widget's callback-more-start-actions.vm script instead of content-thread-start.vm . So to move the report link, you'd both remove it from content-thread-start.vm as you already did, and then also add the following within callback-more-start-actions.vm , between whichever links you'd like. ## Report abuse #if ($core_v2_user.IsRegistered($core_v2_user.Accessing.Id)) #end

You'll want to move the #if ($core_v2_user.IsRegistered($core_v2_user.Accessing.Id)) #end block to be just before the at the end of the file. Right now, it's nested within checks that require edit user permissions.

You missed moving the #end. Here's a reformatted/corrected version of your file: ## Parse Parameters #set ($forumApplicationId = false) #set ($forumApplicationId = $core_v2_page.GetQueryStringValue('forumApplicationId')) #if ($forumApplicationId && $forumApplicationId.length > 0) #set ($forumApplicationId = $core_v2_utility.ParseGuid($forumApplicationId)) #end #set ($threadContentId = false) #set ($threadContentId = $core_v2_page.GetQueryStringValue('threadContentId')) #if ($threadContentId && $threadContentId.length > 0) #set ($threadContentId = $core_v2_utility.ParseGuid($threadContentId)) #end #set ($replyContentId = false) #set ($replyContentId = $core_v2_page.GetQueryStringValue('replyContentId')) #if ($replyContentId && $replyContentId.length > 0) #set ($replyContentId = $core_v2_utility.ParseGuid($replyContentId)) #end #set ($forumApplicationId = false) #set ($forumApplicationId = $core_v2_page.GetQueryStringValue('forumApplicationId')) #if ($forumApplicationId && $forumApplicationId.length > 0) #set ($forumApplicationId = $core_v2_utility.ParseGuid($forumApplicationId)) #end #set ($postActionsId = $core_v2_page.GetQueryStringValue('postActionsId')) #set ($replyCount = $core_v2_utility.ParseInt($core_v2_page.GetQueryStringValue('replyCount'))) #set ($replyPageIndex = $core_v2_utility.ParseInt($core_v2_page.GetQueryStringValue('replyPageIndex'))) ## Load Entities #set ($forum = false) #if ($forumApplicationId) #set ($forum = $core_v2_forum.Get($forumApplicationId)) #end #set ($thread = false) #if ($threadContentId) #set ($thread = $core_v2_forumThread.Get($threadContentId)) #end #set ($reply = false) #if ($replyContentId) #set ($reply = $core_v2_forumReply.Get($replyContentId)) #end ## Load Permissions #set ($hasModeratePermission = $core_v2_nodePermission.Get('forums', $forum.Id, $core_v2_forumPermissions.ReviewAbuse).IsAllowed) #set ($hasModifyThreadPermission = $core_v2_nodePermission.Get("forums", $forum.Id, $core_v2_forumPermissions.ModifyPost, "%{ PostId = '${thread.Id}', PostType = 'threads'}").IsAllowed) #set ($hasModerateUsersPermission = $core_v2_nodePermission.Get($core_v2_sitePermissions.ManageMembership).IsAllowed) #set ($hasModifyPostPermission = $core_v2_nodePermission.Get("forums", $thread.ForumId, $core_v2_forumPermissions.ModifyPost, "%{ PostId = $thread.Id, PostType = 'threads'}").IsAllowed) #set ($hasDeletePostPermission = $core_v2_nodePermission.Get("forums", $thread.ForumId, $core_v2_forumPermissions.DeletePost, "%{ PostId = $thread.Id, PostType = 'threads'}").IsAllowed) #set ($editUrl = $core_v2_encoding.JavascriptEncode($core_v2_forumUrls.EditThread($thread.Id))) #set ($deleteUrl = $core_v2_forumUrls.Deletethread($thread.Id))
