Hi,

In the forum backend, components>custom messages>Custom text in editor (new topic)

 

My forum has 4 groups, with 4 forums in each group

Now what i would like to know is:

If it possible to have the Custom message only active in one of the forums? so each topic it that specific forum will get the custom message, and the others will not?

 

I hope you understand what i am asking

no, those custom messages are global... though you could probably add css based on the forum id to 'hide' it on the ones you dont want...

or take a look at the forum custom message (edit a forum)... that is forum specific but its probably not displayed where you want...  above topics vs above editor...

Do what? Edit  template?

Use the template editor from the forum admin > themes section. Select the template named in the codex article. Add the code and save.
