Removing Forum Branches

[j1mmy]

Usually after clicking on a sub forum, there is a box at the top which shows how that forum has branched of the forum homepage.

I have enclosed an image of this box to show you what I mean.

So is this box possible to remove for some or all sub forums?

Its possible to remove that, yes. Most people prefer not to remove it because it allows your users the ability to navigate the forum structure easier.

The breadcrumb trail you are referring too can be found and edited/removed in the navbar template.

By moving this, would the logon portal also be removed as its part of the same line?

I am actually removing this becasue i plan to display each sub-forum on its own and i wouldnt like the members to know that it was actually part of the main forum. So they would see this as a new forum altogether.

Also, where would i find these scripts responsible for removing it, and how would i edit them?

Any plain text editor can be used for editing html. (Which is what you will find in the templates.) Editing them means you need to open the template, and change the code. If you want specific code to disappear, you remove that code.

So what code am i looking out for?

[Rich]

In the navbar template find and remove this:

	<td class="alt1" width="100%">
		<if condition="is_array($navbits)">
			<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
			<tr valign="bottom">
				<td><a href="#" onclick="history.back(1); return false;"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/navbits_start.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_back]" border="0" /></a></td>
				<td>&nbsp;</td>
				<td width="100%"><span class="navbar"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="1">$vboptions[bbtitle]</a></span> $navbits[breadcrumb]</td>
			</tr>
			<tr>
				<td class="navbar" style="font-size:10pt; padding-top:1px" colspan="3"><a href="$scriptpath"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/navbits_finallink.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reload_this_page]" border="0" /></a> <strong>$navbits[lastelement]</strong></td>
			</tr>
			</table>			
		<else />
			<div class="navbar" style="font-size:10pt"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="1"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/navbits_start.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a> <strong>$vboptions[bbtitle]</strong></div>
		</if>
	</td>

Just to confirm, shall i remove everything from the first </td> to the last </td>?

Will this apply it to all the forums?

A little uncalled for, he is obivosuly a newbie to all this..

Make a copy of the said template 1st before you do any editing.
Just copy and paste into a notepad document, This way you can
always put it back if you go wrong or dont like the way its turned out
