Supressing the "Thread Display" area in forums without threads

Hi all,

You all know the scenario where you have a forum that acts solely as a folder for other forums, without it being set to "category". This forum will never have any posts of its own.

What bugs me enormously is that this "folder" forums still show an empty "Threads in Forum" area with the message "There are no posts in this forum." I would like to set it up in a way that this area is not displayed at all if a forum is empty.

Does anyone have an idea on how to achieve this?

Thanks,

Tobias

I have coded my own plugin that handles this on my own forums. Create a new plugin, hooking at forumdisplay_complete.

PHP Code:


		
			
if (!$show['threads'] AND $show['forumslist'] AND !$foruminfo['allowposting'])
{
    $show['threadslist'] = false;
}

Fantastic, thanks.

Just to make sure, can I expect this to work under 3.6.5?

Yes - it should work.
