New layout option and theme settings for Discussion Lists

We've added a new layout option for Discussion Lists. This new option is a Foundation-based layout that can be integrated into any theme.

Once enabled this new option is customizable using our Theme Editor. Here you will find a new Discussions List section where you can configure things like border styles, and text colours. You'll also have the flexibility to enable or disable specific meta-data such as the discussions view count, comment count, excerpt, and more.

If you have not used our theme editor yet, you can either get started by making a copy of our Foundation theme template, or you have the option to create a new copy of your existing theme to launch the editor. When you do this you existing customizations are preserved and any settings you configure in the Theme Editor will only apply to Foundation pages and components. Find out more about this here -
