Need help with forum structur and templates

[Kyo-dono]

Hi.

I want create a structure like this (in 4.2.0):

Select Language (Category)
- - English Forum (Category)
- - - - Forum BB (Forum)
- - - - Forum AA (Forum)
- - - - - - Sub-Forum AAA1 (Forum)
- - - - - - Sub-Forum AAA2 (Forum)
- - German Forum (Category)
- - - - Forum CC (Forum)

The problem in vBulletin4 is, its not possible with category in category.

forum.php look like this:
http://i.minus.com/ibsByWa4fRLZRS.png

There is a topic in "Forum BB", but vBulletin shows here nothing. Its okay for me, but the headline with "Threads / Posts" + "Last Post" doesn't belong there. How can I remove it there? So I wish there is no listing of sub-forums under this category too.


Now I click on "English Forum" and get this:
http://i.minus.com/ibiz21Rr9oiFJ1.png

Here are a lot of errors.
1. I read "Forum: English Forum". But "English Forum" is a category! I want remove "Forum: " here.

2. In the headline you read "Sub-Forums", but it should be only "Forums".

3. The "Sub-Forum AAA1" and "Sub-Forum AAA2" should look like that:

Can anybody help me here, please? :)

your settings are wrong in that first screenshot that is why it looks like that

[Kyo-dono]

What means "wrong"? My setting is not "wrong", that is what I need. ;)
I need a main category with sub-categories like a forum with sub-forums.

[ForceHSS]

Act as Forum = Yes you have it has a No for English Forum and German Forum
You asked for help but when you are told what is wrong you say it is wrong

[Kyo-dono]

When I set LanguageA and LanguageB as "forum", you are right, all working fine. Basically, that is not my problem. Sorry, I started wrong and got lost. ;)

Actual I have a forum like this (one language):
http://i.minus.com/ibpapStZ0CrIcI.png

-- Category A
-- -- Forum A1
-- -- -- Sub ForumA1
-- -- -- Sub ForumA2
-- -- Forum A2

-- Category B
-- -- Forum B1
-- -- -- Sub ForumB1
-- -- -- Sub ForumB2
-- -- Forum B2

Now I want it two times. Two languages, with the same forums:

-- Top Category (Set as Category)

-- -- LanguageA (Set as Forum)
-- -- -- Category A (Set as Category)
-- -- -- -- Forum A1 (Set as Forum)
-- -- -- -- -- Sub ForumA1 (Set as Forum)
-- -- -- -- -- Sub ForumA2 (Set as Forum)
-- -- -- -- Forum A2 (Set as Forum)
-- -- -- Category B (Set as Forum)
-- -- -- -- Forum B1 (Set as Forum)
-- -- -- -- -- Sub ForumB1 (Set as Forum)
-- -- -- -- -- Sub ForumB2 (Set as Forum)
-- -- -- -- Forum B2 (Set as Forum)

-- -- LanguageB (Set as Forum)
-- -- -- Category A (Set as Category)
-- -- -- -- Forum A1 (Set as Forum)
-- -- -- -- -- Sub ForumA1 (Set as Forum)
-- -- -- -- -- Sub ForumA2 (Set as Forum)
-- -- -- -- Forum A2 (Set as Forum)
-- -- -- Category B (Set as Forum)
-- -- -- -- Forum B1 (Set as Forum)
-- -- -- -- -- Sub ForumB1 (Set as Forum)
-- -- -- -- -- Sub ForumB2 (Set as Forum)
-- -- -- -- Forum B2 (Set as Forum)

This look like this: http://i.minus.com/iqbw0hCjeSd3R.png and that is very horrible.

When I click on LanguageA I will(this is my wish) see this: http://i.minus.com/ibpapStZ0CrIcI.png and nothing else.

Is this not possible? ;)

[ForceHSS]

can you give me a real url link so I can see all the problems

[Kyo-dono]

I have create a new empty test forum, with just a few forums.

That is what I get: http://www.codehexer.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?2-English-Forums

This is what I expect and want: http://i.minus.com/iBwCEtykCGAi.png (for this position in tree). :)

[ForceHSS]

you have set the wrong settings for each one reply to the pm I sent you

[Kyo-dono]

Thanks for help. I post here a summary.

"Home" (is OK)
http://www.codehexer.com/vb/forum.php

"Forum: Choose your language" (is OK)
http://www.codehexer.com/vb/forumdis...-your-language

"Forum: English Forums" (is horrible FALSE)
http://www.codehexer.com/vb/forumdis...English-Forums

"Community" (is OK)
http://www.codehexer.com/vb/forumdis...hp?4-Community

"Offtopic" (is OK)
http://www.codehexer.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?6-Offtopic


I want only "Forum: English Forums" like this: http://i.minus.com/iBwCEtykCGAi.png
all another sites should not be changed.

In "Forum Listings Display Options" I use:
Depth of Forums - Forum Home = 2
Depth of Forums - Forum Display = 1
Depth of Sub-Forums = 1

When I use:
Depth of Forums - Forum Home = 2
Depth of Forums - Forum Display = 2
Depth of Sub-Forums = 1
then "Forum: English Forums" is OK,
but "Forum: Choose your language" and "Community" displays incorrectly.

Depth of Forums - Forum Home = 2
Depth of Forums - Forum Display = 1
Depth of Sub-Forums = 1

-- -- LanguageA (Set as Category) (Parent Forum no one)
-- -- -- Category A (Set as Forum) (Parent Forum Language A)
-- -- -- -- Forum A1 (Set as Forum) (Parent Forum Category A)

Interesting. I think that is a good way. I like it. It is possible to remove the first line on this page:
http://www.codehexer.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?2-English-Forums

I mean this line:
"Sub-Forums ..... Threads / Posts Last Post"

If I click here on "Community" or "Offtopic" this line is necessary. It is possible to remove this line only for level 2?

LEVEL 1 -- -- LanguageA (Set as Category) (Parent Forum no one)
LEVEL 2 -- -- -- Category A (Set as Forum) (Parent Forum Language A)
LEVEL 3 -- -- -- -- Forum A1 (Set as Forum) (Parent Forum Category A)
