Q. Cloning forum.php and using it to show only non-active forums
 

I'm thinking about cloning the forum.php file under VB4 and using it as a separate page to display only those forums that are not set as active. The problem is I'm only at the very early stages of teaching myself about coding for this stuff and so do not yet understand all that I'm reading in the forum.php.

Can someone give me some tips as to what I might need to change? How does forum.php know to only display those forums set as active. Is this something that is coded in fourm.php itself or is it buried in a template, or something, that is being called by forum.php

I appreciate any info anyone can give me.

Thanks in Advance

Pete

Zachery,

you're a supernova where a candle would do! I was using forumdisplay to achieve the same thing, but getting a very inelegeant presentation of what I wanted to see. This on the other hand is absolutely perfect. Thankyou!

Don't work with the software for 9 years and not learn a thing or two ;)
