Category, subforum category

[we_are_borg]

I have setup a forum but i have one thing i would like to see changed.

I make a category in that category comes a forum, this is all normal. But now i do a extra step namly in de forum i create sub-forums. This works great but the forum i created there you can post, now i tell the system no posting allowed that works great to but what i would like to see is that there is nothing there.

Don't know what i mean take a look here http://www.breedbandforum.com/forum/
Access the forum "Glasvezel Providers"

Now you see the sub-forums;
Concepts ICT Fiber & Wireless BV
Ons Net Nuenen

but beneth that there is
Threads in Forum: Glasvezel Providers
I wish to tell the system that on one forum it's not nesseccery and on the other it's needed.

Is there so sort of hack, if not can some one make it.

Am I to understand that for forums that you set to 'Forum is Open' = No, you don't want the thread list appearing? Or would this be only in this specific instance, where 'Forum is Open' = No on other forums would behave as they do now.

If I'm correct in the former, then this is what you want:
Edit the template called 'FORUMDISPLAY', find:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$show['threadslist']">
<!-- threads list  -->

<!-- controls above thread list -->
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" 


above add:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$show['newthreadlink']"> 


find, near the bottom:

PHP Code:

<!-- forum rules & forum jump -->
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center"> 


and above add:

PHP Code:

</if> 


save template. From then on forums that are closed don't show the thread list.

In case you were wondering, you can use that conditional (<if condition="$show['newthreadlink']">) to make the posting rules disappear, yet keep the jump box.

What you'd do is move the closing </if> a bit lower, until both rules and jumpbox are removed. Then below add the negative of this conditional (<if condition="!$show['newthreadlink']">), jumpbox markup, and close </if>

If that doesn't make sense let me know and I'll post the revised code
