Create an Embeddable Page

[toc]

Embeddable forum threads allow you to embed a Telligent Group hosted discussion within an external website. The comments in an external page are actually stored in a  forum thread. Community Server generates JavaScript that must be placed in the external page. The external page then generates all of the necessary controls/code  needed to post in your Community Server instance.

When the user clicks on the page which contains the embed code, a thread is created in the community forum. The thread then identifies the user who enabled the embedded forum thread, the discussion's topic, remote page name, and the page URL, as well as the user who commented.

The thread starter user is designated as Anonymous unless you manually add new users. All replies to the forum thread are made by users logged into the remote website.
