Get the forum library

To get the documents library associated with the forum, you must perform the following:

  1. Get the forum.
    Get an instance of the specified forum. For more information, see For developers: Query forums.
  2. Get the library.
    To get the library, you must call the GetForumLibrary extension method of the forum instance. The library is created upon the first call of this method.

Here is a code example:

C#
using System;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Forums;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Forums.Model;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Libraries.Model;

namespace SitefinityWebApp
{
    public class GetForumLibraries_GetForumLibrary
    {
        public static DocumentLibrary GetForumLibrary(Guid forumId)
        {
            ForumsManager forumsManager = ForumsManager.GetManager();

            Forum forum = forumsManager.GetForum(forumId);

            return forum.GetForumLibrary() as DocumentLibrary;
        }
    }
}
