Configuration

The forum.frontend config file defines the controllers used by the package as well as a closure used to process alert messages to be displayed to the user.

Views

Views are published to resources/views/vendor/forum. The simplest way to integrate the forum with your existing design is to edit the master view, remove undesired markup and make it extend your application's main layout with @extends. Note that the master view does pull in jQuery and Bootstrap 3 by default, and includes some jQuery-based JavaScript to support some of the forum frontend features. You may wish to move it elsewhere or re-write it in your own way.

Events

The package includes a variety of events for user interactions such as viewing threads. Refer to src/Events for a full list.
