Featured content

Featuring content promotes community participation by attracting traffic to content. Community managers can target content features to specific groups as audiences. The service provides out of the box support for blog posts, forum threads, wiki pages, media files, ideas, and calendar events. In release 9.0, content featuring is removed from the content creation or editing windows and relocated to the front-end user interface for community managers.

In this release, featured content provides feature start and end dates but has a default expiration date of 30 days; that is, it can't be featured indefinitely. When featuring content, the form allows you to select which group to feature the content to. Frequently, this would be carried out on the current group or for the entire community, but can be scoped to any group the owner has access to.

Content that is featured is displayed on the Featured Content Slider for the group where it is configured or the site. For example if content is being featured for a certain group, the content will only be displayed on that group's Featured Content Slider widget.
