On the main page of my drupal 7 website I have a a block called "active forum topics. At the moment only the topic title is shown in the preview:
Is there a way to modify this block? I want to add more content to this block like author of the topic, related forum, date/time, maybe number of posts.
Thanks in advance
Well I actually have an answer for this, after looking to do it myself, I found the "view" for the "Active Forum Topics" page (the forum tab page that generates active forum topics). From that view I added a block, which now allows you to create a block from that existing view - with whatever items you want in there.
Assuming you are using advanced forum - this view is at: admin/structure/views/view/advanced_forum_active_topics
Where is says "displays" click the (+add) button and choose block. From there it is pretty straight forward if you know how to use views.
