1. Hiding SubForums now hides the SubForums: prefix as well
2. Hover over the counts to see what they are (added title to the count span)
3. Other minor coding and commenting adjustments

If you hide a sub-forum, that is actually a sub-sub-forum, then it will be hidden on the display of its parent. But it will not be hidden on the main forum index/ FORUMHOME.

Example:

- Forum A
- Forum B
-- subforum1
-- subforum2
--- subsubforum1
--- subsubforum2
--- subsubforum3
--- subsubforum4
- Forum C
- Forum D

If you hide the children of subforum2, then subsubforum1,2,3,4 will not show on the forumdisplay of Forum B. But they will still show on the main forum index.php while they should be hidden on the main forum index as well.

The option is designed to hide the SubForum display for a specified forum, not to specify a Forum that would not be visible (ie: you specify the parent). Hiding particular forums completely would be better served using forum permissions. Note also that the Forum-Jump-Menu would have them listed.

Although I do somewhat understand what you are asking, this Mod is more about cosmetics than security.

For cosmetic reasons I would like to hide some subsubforums from index.php (forum index) while showing its parent subforum. Could you add this function?

Would you not simply use the "Forum is Active" option in the actual subsubforums configuration? That hides it from view in all the displays (including the jump menu).

I want them to be visible when viewing in its parent or its children. I only want to hide it from forum index (forum/index.php)

Thanks for the awesome mod :-)

I was wondering how I can still have the Last Post, Threads and Posts Counts show for the subforums as done here:
http://www.weusecoupons.com/upload/

There are options that lets you display the counts

Thanks for your reply Sorky. I know I can have the counts display in brackets next to the forum title. But what I mean is, how does http://www.weusecoupons.com/upload/ show 3 more columns (including Last Post) to the right of the subforums columns?

Which option enables that?

Thanks :)

Those come from the standard vBulletin displays for a Forum... You are probably using a Category - In the Forum Manager, set the forums "Act as Forum" to Yes ;-)
