Depth of Sub-Forums displayed in the main forum list

[globalstrata]

Hello guys/gals,

I have been trying to display many up to three levels down of sub-forums but I have been having problems doing so. I have gone to:

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Forum Listings Display Options -> Depth of Sub-Forums

and put 4 as the input but it seems like it is not displaying the sub-forums under A-F subforum (Please see the following link: http://forums.origanime.com/forums.html) Since I have installed hacks in my site, I need to find out which code controls this so I can check if this has been modified by any of the hacks. Can any one either tell me what am I missing, if there any other area in the admincp that I should look at or what code should I look at? :confused:

Thanks,

Gladys

It really is simple. No php involved.
In your admin CP, goto vBulletin Options.
Click Forums Home Page Options.
For "Depth of Forums" set 3.
Go to the botton and hit update settings.

Okay, so now vB will attempt to display 3 levels of forums on forum home (Catagory, forum, and subforum). Only thing is that it doesn't know what to display for the 3rd level, so it displays nothing. You need to add the templates forumhome_forumbit_level3_post and forumhome_forumbit_level3_nopost to each of the template sets that you want the sub forums displayed on. My personal recomendation is to copy forumdisplay_forumbit_level1_nopost to forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost, forumdisplay_forumbit_level1_post to forumhome_forumbit_level2_post, forumdisplay_forumbit_level2_nopost to forumhome_forumbit_level3_nopost, and forumdisplay_forumbit_level2_post to forumhome_forumbit_level3_post for a good start.

Ok. I did that and it worked great! :D However, I would like to find the code that changes the $childforumbits. What template is that?

Thanks,
