Well what I am looking for it...well let me say why first.

I have a look list of categories and don't want to make categories to go to other categories.

So what I would like to have is say a listing of the different categories at the top and when someone clicks on one it jumps down the page to right category.

then have a return to top by that category.

EXAMPLE
all these are links at top
Forum categories listing
general a
games
web design
food
life
etc..
etc..

All these are forums down below
--------------------------------------
general a
_______________________
Games
web deisgn
food
life
etc..
etc..

If I click on something under forum listing it would take me to the the forum below

Any ideas ?

Very confusing.

So you want categories to go into other categories? Just use sub-forums.

lol sorry if it was confusing.

No that isn't what I meant.

What i was is to add a forumlisting (just Text) in say the welcome box.

In this welcome box there will be hyperlinks.

If you click on one of these hyperlinks it will take you down the page to the forum you clicked on.

I have done this with html but I have no idea with all teh templates and php.


here is an example of it in html

<body>

<h2><a name="top">Forum Listing</a></h2>
<ol>
<li><strong><a href="#how">BLA BLA BLA</a></strong></li>
<li><strong><a href="#where">BLA BLA BLA 2</a></strong></li>
<li><strong><a href="#why">etc...</a></strong></li>
<li><strong><a href="#who">etc...</a></strong></li>
<li><strong><a href="#what">etc...</a></strong></li>
<li><strong><a href="#when">etc...</a></strong></li>
</ol>
<hr>
<h3><a name="how">BLABLABLA</a></h3>
<p>[This is the answer to the question.]</p>
<h5><a href="#top">Back to Top</a></h5>
<hr>
<h3><a name="where">BLABLABLA2</a></h3>
<p>[This is the answer to the question.]</p>
<h5><a href="#top">Back to Top</a></h5>
<hr>
<h3><a name="why">etc</a></h3>
<p>[This is the answer to the question.]</p>
<h5><a href="#top">Back to Top</a></h5>
<hr>
<h3><a name="who">etc</a></h3>
<p>[This is the answer to the question.]</p>
<h5><a href="#top">Back to Top</a></h5>
<hr>
<h3><a name="what">etc..</a></h3>
<p>[This is the answer to the question.]</p>
<h5><a href="#top">Back to Top</a></h5>
<hr>
<h3><a name="when">etc..</a></h3>
<p>[This is the answer to the question.]</p>
<h5><a href="#top">Back to Top</a></h5>

Okay so you want links in your welcome box so when you click on them it takes you down to the forum list you selected?

Hey tony figure it out ?

It might be a hack that might have to be at vb.org because if I am thinking right you might have to add an extra thing in the database with certain coding because the threadlist or forum bits are taken from the database and the cat. title too $forumtitle or something.

Figured it out, but I need a welcome panel to add it to from here. It doesn't look good anywhere else.

Want my welcome panel?

Here' the coding.

<!-- welcomepanel -->
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="#6597D9" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td>
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%">
<tr id="cat">
<td bgcolor=""#90B9F1" background="images/cat_bg.gif"" colspan="6"><normalfont color="#FFFFFF"><b>Welcome</b></normalfont></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#F9F9F9" align="center" valign="top" width="100">$avatarimage</td>
<td bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<smallfont>
$unregwelcomemessage
$welcometext<br>
The time now is $timenow.<br>
You last visited: $bbuserinfo[lastvisitdate].<br>
<b>$newposts</b>
</smallfont>
</td>
<td bgcolor="#F9F9F9" align="center" valign="middle" width="300">
<smallfont><b>Name</b>:$bbuserinfo[username] </a> </b> | <b>Posts</b>: $bbuserinfo[posts] | <smallfont><b>Change Style:</b>
<select name="styleid" onChange="window.location=('index.php?styleid='+this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)">
<option value="1" selected>Blue</option>
<option value="4">Night</option>
</select></smallfont><br>

$logincode
<br>
$pminfo

</td>
</tr>

</table>

</td></tr></table>
<!-- /welcomepanel -->

So for the code itself, I think it's $forumjump.. not sure..

Well, vBulletin standard has the "forumjump" if you find the code for that, you can simply copy it into your welcome panel .....

As far as i know the code for the forumjump is made in showthread.php and forumdisplay.php, mabey functions.php to. so it wouldent work ont he index page.

No wonder, and then you'll need fine editing in index.php to make it fully work.

No wonder mine didn't work. I figured as much there was more coding to be added. Hmm... I'm not well educated in this are of fine .php file edditing so I'll leave it to someone who understands it. But I'd still love to have this, consider this a request to anyone kind enough to help me. Thanks :)
