Can we show more than one articles in "featured article" component on TkbCommunityPage?

On TkbCommunityPage there is a component Featured Article which shows a artcle which is featured,

but can we display more than one featured article one below another using some admin settings or any other way?

    Try looking at the Featured Threads component. It is a similar idea, but can include more discussion styles than just TKB. You should be able to use this on a Community Page, Category Page or any board-level page. Feature the article in the same way (and be sure that you add a "teaser"). You will be able to add multiple articles in this component. The caveat is that this component will include other threads included from other boards. You can remove a thread from the list using the Article Options > Stop Featuring this Article in the community or go to Community Admin > Content > Featured Threads and delete the topic from the list.

    Hi,

     

    I am not sure about the standard component, but you could always investigate the threads/featured call for the board via the REST API and create a custom component that gets the required number of articles.

     

    Is that an option?

    Hi,

     

    in this case, you can do a couple of things:

     

    • Raise the query with our support department - who can clarify the standard Lithium functionality.
    • Create an idea in our customers Idea Board - so that this can get visibility with the product managers

     

    Hope this helps
