Forum collasped on default?

[Boofo]

Is there a way to have a forum be collasped as default instead of not collasped?

Better not. Users who don't have JavaScript enabled, would not be able to open the forums.

I don't want to use it on any forums. I have a hack I am making I was to use it on for me. I just want it to work like the forums do. ;)

Then just edit the template to make it collapsed by deafult.

If I knew how to do that I would have already done it by now and not needed this thread. LOL

In hook: forumbit_display
Put the following code, and play a bit with togling the collapse values.

global $depth, $tempext, $collapseobj_forumid , $collapseimg_forumid, $show;
if ($depth == 1 AND $tempext == '_nopost')
{
global $vbcollapse;
$collapseobj_forumid =& $vbcollapse["collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid"];
$collapseimg_forumid =& $vbcollapse["collapseimg_forumbit_$forumid"];
$show['collapsebutton'] = true;
}

That won't do me any good, but thank you, anyway. ;)

I'm trying to make a box collaspe that is not on the forums lsiting. That's why I was hoping to be able to do it in the template, but I tried for hours to get the collaspe code in the template to work right for it and had no luck. ;)

It is very easy, but you must use the correct prefixes for the collapsable ID and image.

PS You asked how to make a forum collapsed by default.

Yes and in my second post I explained what I was asking for. I figured I could follow whatever way they did it for forums and use it elsewhere. ;)
