Displaying main categories only.
 

I want to display a list of main forum categories as html links. Not like forumjump listbox. How can I do that?

If you just want them as plain html links, then just:

Is that what you are asking? :confused:

I want them as plain html links but I want the links to be generated automatically.

(Also post counts for each category would be nice)

You're going to need some knowledge of SQL and PHP to do this, you could probably use the forum cache as a way to calculate the total post count of each categories...but it all depends where you want this data.

As Danny said, you'll have to write some code for that. There are so many factors that would go into which categories to grab - do you need to worry about permissions, order, only top level categories or all, etc. You could use the datamanager/datacache (which I don't know how to do), but you have to define exactly what variables you want to consider when spitting them out.

I tried to use forumjump variables but they don't work on forumhome.
I searched the addon forum. It seems that there are no addons for this.

There is an add-on to add a forumjump menu to the navbar. That code may help you out.

Navbar Forumjump- Adds a DHTML "Forum Jump" menu to your Navbar

Thanks but this addon doesn't work on version 3.7.3

Collapsible navbar menu function works but table menu doesn't work.
