How to get a browse the community component?

Hi,

 

Several lithium sites have a "Browse The Community" component. We'd like one also, however, I've not found such a component to be an option.

 

Have I missed it? How can I get it?

 

Example sites with the component:

    Those examples you provided are actually custom components developed specifically to meet the needs of those communities. There are two standard browser components available via Studio. Under the "Components" menu in Studio, if you expand "Forums", in the list you'll find these two components:

    • Community - The verbose community listing that you're probably already familiar with. This component is typically used only in the main content area.
    • Community Browser - This version is more compact, and allows the category nodes to be expanded and contracted. This component is typically used only in the side content area.

     

    If you or someone on your team is familiar with FreeMarker, HTML, CSS, and the Lithium REST API, here's a code sample to help get you going in the right direction:

    Otherwise, the Lithium Professional Services team can work with you to build a custom component to meet your needs. If you'd like more information about that, please submit a case via the customer case portal so that our Support team can put you in contact with a member of the Professional Services team.
