How do I create Sub-Sections like on vb ?

[trickfly]

Does anyone know how to create sub-sections like on this site.

I want to create a forum but I don't want it with the others on the home page, instead I want to have a seperate page for the forum ?

Does anyone know how to this,

My site is: www.TrickFly.com

AdminCP --> Forums & Moderators --> Forum Manager --> Edit the forum you want to show on separate page --> Posting Options --> Forum is Active (set to "No") --> Place a link somewhere to this forum.

If you want it to look like vb.org, set a category like the above and link to the category instead of an individual forum. This will show the category and the forums placed in it on the separate page.

On your site:
Set the Category "Domain Names For Sale" like the above directions and then place a link like: http://www.trickfly.com/forumdisplay.php?&f=1 somewhere on your site or header.

If I turn it to forum active 'no' can people still use the forum etc...

Yes, they can still see it and post in it if they have permissions as long as you provide them with the link. The forum will just not show up under Forumhome.

How do I arrange different forums on one page ( but not the index.php page)

I would like to create a forum page with different forums (and the categories within them) all shown on one page.

At the moment each time I create a new category and follow:


AdminCP --> Forums & Moderators --> Forum Manager --> Edit the forum you want to show on separate page --> Posting Options --> Forum is Active (set to "No") --> Place a link somewhere to this forum.


The forums are created on separate pages.

Can you help please ?

Thanks

When I set 'Marketing' to 'set as forum', it shows on a separate page, but when I set it to category I get :

http://www.trickfly.com/forumdisplay.php?f=26

I want create forums which can all be shown on this one page (not the homepage as a different forum is there)

How can I do this ?

[da420]

You have to set the category to the not active setting. Then link to the 'category'......

[trickfly]

If I do that it means I can't get the numbers next to the link:

Last Listing Listings Comments

Is there a way to create a forum and have them show all one page (apart from the homepage)

This site manages to do it, so there must be a way.

Any info would be great!

Set the category as not active, and the sub forums under the category as active... I think that should work.

This is what the category is set as: (the catergory is called 'forum'' - http://www.trickfly.com/forumdisplay.php?f=26)


Act as Forum
(Will act as category if no) - No

Forum is Active
(Will not appear if set to no, but remains accessible if the forum's URL is known) No

Forum is Open
(Set this to 'No' to prevent any new posts being made in this forum) No

Index New Posts in Search Engine
(Setting this to 'No' will prevent anyone from being able to search in this forum) Yes

Your settings are fine except:

Forum is Open. Set this to Yes. If set to No then it will close the forums in the category to new posts and threads.
