How do I modify the Forum Jump menu?

[dcpaq2xx]

Group,

Is there any way to only list the forums in the forum jump menu and not include the categories?

Is this feature inquiry already available as a plugin or program for plugins or would someone be willing to take the time to code this for us?

Thanks

Doug

For you categorys edit the settings to reflect 'show on forum jump menu' = no

But when you do that what I have found is that it effects an "child" forums as well by removing those from the forum jump menu.

I only want to remove the categories, and not the individual forums.

Ah, right. I've not really played with the forum jump too much so I dunno. I thought that it still showed the child forums. Sorry.

Yeah normally you would think that would be true but for some reason It doesn't hold true for this senareo.

"Show this Forum and Child Forums on the Forum Jump Menu"

I think the problem is that it says in the above taken from the permissions page is the "AND".

Personally I think this should have been coded to just apply to the category/forum your currently editing the permissions for and not "this forum and child forums.

I wonder if maybe this is a bug in Vbulletin that someone over looked?

This is how I got it to show up:



For forum link (the second field) I entered: http://www.myforumname.com/forums/search.php?do=getnew
