Change entire forum section to display custom content rather then threads

[renderstream]

Hi, basically, i have a section in my forum that is called "News headlines"

When they click on it, it will normally bring them to see the forum with threads, posts, etc.

Instead, I want:

When they click on it, it will bring them to a forum that does NOT have threads, and they will not be able to post. Rather, it will show my custom content.

I have included an image for better explanation.

In the FORUMDISPLAY template, find $threadbits, and put a conditional around it, like this:


<if condition="!$foruminfo[forumid] == X">
$threadbits
<else />
YOUR_CODE
</if>

Replace X with the forumid of the news headlines forum.

hm, i got the condition working by using:


if($foruminfo[forumid] == 29){

//mycode here

}else{

$threadbits = '';

}


Bur i am not sure what to put as my code. I want to stop it from displaying threads, and basically have some text.
