Querying a single forum group

To query a single forum group, you must perform the following:

Get an instance of the manager.
Get an instance of the ForumsManager object.
Get the specified forum group.
To get the specified group, you can either call the GetGroup method of the manager and pass the ID of the group, or call the GetGroups method of the manager and filter the collection by the ID or the name of the group.

Here is a code example of using the GetGroup method:

using System;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Forums;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Forums.Model;

namespace SitefinityWebApp
{
    public class QueryForumGroups_GetForumGroup
    {
        public static ForumGroup GetForumGroup(Guid groupId)
        {
            ForumsManager forumsManager = ForumsManager.GetManager();

            ForumGroup forumGroup = forumsManager.GetGroup(groupId);

            return forumGroup;
        }
    }
}

Here is a code example of using the GetGroups method:

using System;
using System.Linq;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Forums;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Forums.Model;

namespace SitefinityWebApp
{
    public class QueryForumGroups_GetForumGroupAlternative
    {
        public static ForumGroup GetForumGroupAlternative(Guid groupId)
        {
            ForumsManager forumsManager = ForumsManager.GetManager();

            ForumGroup forumGroup = forumsManager.GetGroups().Where(g => g.Id == groupId).SingleOrDefault();

            return forumGroup;
        }
    }
}

Querying all forum groups

To query all forum groups, you must perform the following:

Get an instance of the manager.
Get an instance of the ForumsManager object.
Get the forum groups.
To get the groups, you must call the GetGroups method of the manager.

Here is a code example:

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Forums;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Forums.Model;

namespace SitefinityWebApp
{
    public class QueryForumGroups_GetForumGroups
    {
        public static List<ForumGroup> GetForumGroups()
        {
            ForumsManager forumsManager = ForumsManager.GetManager();

            List<ForumGroup> groups = forumsManager.GetGroups().ToList();

            return groups;
        }
    }
}
