ok, now that i’ve posted this topic and googled again, i found the answer as a “related site” of my own post. http://wordpress.org/support/topic/299739
there i found the reference to a plugin that almost satisfied my needs. I just put all of its functions in an if-statement,
$forum = $_GET ['forum']
if ($forum == 1) {
...plugin source
}
so that i could place a link to switch to that “forum view”.
$forum = $_GET['forum'];
if ($forum == 1) {
<a href="index.php?kill_sbc=true" title="Sorted by Date DESC" style="margin-left:10px">Default View</a>';
} else {
<a href="index.php?forum=1" title="Sorted by latest Comments" style="margin-left:10px">Forum View</a>';
}
so maybe the next one searching for such a solution will succeed earlier. it’s not the most elegant way but it works 😉
cheers
