Orchard CMS: Taxonomy Link Menu Visibility & Placement Issue

Question

I just installed the Forums module to my Orchard site. Also, I created Taxonomy Link menu that serves as categories for the Forum posts.

By adding the Taxonomy menu to the default layer, I could make it appear on all pages. My questions are:

1. How can I make the Taxonomy menu (i.e., Forums categories) appear only on the Forums page? It would have been simple if the Forums "page" was actually a page in Orchard context as I can just assign a custom layer to the page to control the visibility of the menu. But to my understanding, Forums is just a content type, which is not the same as a page -- in other words, I didn't create a Forums page; I simply created a new Forum with a permanent link to "~/Forums".

2. I initially assigned the aforementioned Taxonomy menu to the AsideFirst zone but it would not show up for some reason. But it shows up just fine if I assign it to the (for instance) ContentAside zone. Is this a known bug?

Any non-programming solutions and/or workarounds (if any) will be most helpful!

Answer 1

1. Use a url rule in a new "forums" layer, then put the widget in that layer.

2.Does the AsideFirst zone actually exist in your layer?
