Subforum edit?

[oldfan]

I'm currently using 3.6.7.

My question is....

I'd like to have my subforums only viewable via the forumdisplay, but only on selected ones.

If you goto my forums (http://www.metallifukinca.com/forums.php) and you'll see the forum, (Tourography Discuss past, present and future Metallica tours here)

I'd like the subforums that are attached to this category to be only viewable when you enter (Tourography Discuss past, present and future Metallica tours here)

make sense?

thanks

So you don't want it to say "Subforums: xxxx, yyyy" underneath the forums on that page? That is controled by vboptions > forum listings display options > depth of sub-forums. Set to 0 to not show the Subforums.

Yea but that would include all the other subforums, I just want curtain ones.

Just write a plugin.

Use forumbit_display:

PHP Code:

if ($forum['forumid'] == x)
$show['subforums']=false; 


x is the forumid you don't want to show the subforums in.

any word on tag clouds for 3.6.X

I think there was a mod for tags in 3.6 but I've never tried it (I preferred to wait until upgrading to 3.8).

Do you have a test site? I had to do very little to my tracker mod in order to upgrade from 3.6 to 3.8. I haven't looked at what it will take to upgrade to 4.0 yet, I'm a bit scared to look at that.

I have no test site, but I could throw one up no problem. I own 2 licenses, one which is doing nothing.

You don't need a second license in order to run a test site. You are allowed to have a test site under your license agreement:

If you have a valid Software license, you may set up an additional test forum in order to test code, template and database modifications. To make this clear to us and our license verification procedures, place it in a directory called 'testvb' and be sure to password protect it. It must not be accessible by the general public.
