I have my settings in (Admin CP) vBulletin Options --> Forum Listings Display Options:

Depth of Forums - Forum Home = 2
Depth of Forums - Forum Display = 2
Depth of Sub-Forums = 0

My sub-forums only display when the parent forum link is clicked.

That may be achievable using a "forumid" conditional. Let me experiment on the idea and I'll get back to you soon...

Thanks.

Try modifying forumhome_subforumbit_post or nopost with a conditional surrounded by it.

The issue will be if there are more subforums there will be a stray comma.

Try this in forumhome_forumbit_level2_post:

Find this or something similar to:

Code:

                <if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont" style="margin-top:$stylevar[cellpadding]px"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>

And replace it with:

Code:

<if condition="in_array($forumid, array(x))">

<else />

                <if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont" style="margin-top:$stylevar[cellpadding]px"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>

</if>

Change the "x" to the forumid you want the sub-forums hidden. To add more parent forums just add ", y, z".

Remember to enable show sub-forums in Admin CP.

That did it! Thank you very much, perhpas you can help me with one more small template edit:

PHP Code:


		
			
<table class="tborder" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0" width="100%">

<tbody>

<tr>

    <td class="tcat">

        Notice from the ADMINS!</td><td align="right"><a href="http://www.domsforums.net/profile.php?do=editoptions">Click Here To Disable Marquee</A>

    </td>

</tr>

</tbody><tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_welcomepanel" style="">

    <tr>

        <td class="alt1" align="center" width="100%">

       <if condition="!is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 3)"> <marquee>$vboptions[fhx2h]</marquee></if><if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 3)"><font size="6">

<MARQUEE>PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAIL FOR THE LINK TO ACTIVATE YOUR ACCOUNT. IT MUST THEN BE APROVED BY AN ADMIN BEFORE YOU CAN POST!!!</MARQUEE></font></if>



        </td>

    </tr>

</tbody>

</table>

I need to put both sentences " Notice from the ADMINS! and Click Here To Disable Marquee" on one line and have the disable text to the right. However that code adds an exta column on the end of the marque. This should be a VERY simple fix

I'm glad it worked. :)

The "Admin" row consists of 2 columns where the marquee row has only 1. So you'll need to add a "colspan" in your bottom <td> tag like so:

Code:

<td class="alt1" align="center" width="100%" colspan="2">

See if that helps.

Thank you, very much! It worked. I knew it was something to do with collum span, but I am getting better with tbales. Just one small thing as I am such a perfectionist.

I can;t get the "Notice from the ADMINS!" text to center.:(

Again thank you for your help and here is what I have tired:

PHP Code:


		
			
<table class="tborder" algin="center" border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tbody>
<tr>
    <td class="tcat" algin="center">
        Notice from the ADMINS!</td>
    <td class="tcat" align="right"><a href="http://www.domsforums.net/profile.php?do=editoptions">Click Here To Disable Marquee</A>
    </td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_welcomepanel" style="">
    <tr>
        <td class="alt1" align="center" width="100%" colspan="2">
       <if condition="!is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 3)"> <marquee>$vboptions[fhx2h]</marquee></if><if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 3)"><font size="6">
<MARQUEE>PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAIL FOR THE LINK TO ACTIVATE YOUR ACCOUNT. IT MUST THEN BE APROVED BY AN ADMIN BEFORE YOU CAN POST!!!</MARQUEE></font></if>

        </td>
    </tr>
</tbody>
</table>
