    Somehow I managed to find the way to get the setting using Lithium custom objects

    ${settings.name.get("layout.view")}

Hi sunny_mody , I'm not sure if I understand your question accurately. Could be the fact that it's Friday morning, could be the fact that I;ve only had one cup of coffee :smileyvery-happy:

 

Are you asking if you can set the default view for your community? If so, you can go into Community Admin --> Discussion Styles --> Posts & Topics --> Topics Display and select format for displaying posts. 

 

On the user level, they should be able to change their view in the options drop down on the board level, as well as within their personal settings. 

 

Hope that answers your question!
