Index of all forums

Index of all forums

I am using Moodle version 3.5 and Adaptable theme version 1.7.1 (2018073000) 


How can I create an index of all the forums available on my moodle site? I can create a page and add all the forums manually, but I am looking for more automated ways of doing it with perhaps a count of unread posts in each forums.


Or Perhaps there is a way to have nested forums (like this one) that I am unaware of.


Thanks,

Sa Ku

One idea is to use custom SQL to create this query, using one of the contributed "forum' queries.

See this link:

Thanks much, Rick. This is great info indeed!

Any pointers on how I can publish the results of these queries on a page?

I figured out a simple and nice solution to achieve. Posting it for the benefit of the others who might be looking for similar solution. 

Here's the link to ALL the forums that are hosted on your moodle site: 

/mod/forum/index.php

So basically, you just have to point to that page to get a list of all forums available on your moodle site along with Forum name, description, # of discussions, # of unread posts etc.
