Hi guys,

no matter what I do I cant get this to work - I followed the install instructions to the letter.

It will not place my sub forums in columns, it displays them all on one line - you can see it at http://forums.yaur.com

I am using default style

Thank you in advance.

Did you change your settings located in Cyb - Forumhome Sub-Forums Manager
under your vBulletin Options menu?

[taheri6]

Hi,

Thank you for the reply - I did change the settings yes - everything except for the columns is working, the post count/reply count shows if enabled, the sub forums is hidden if enabled, everything but the columns.

I think you had to go to :
-Vbulletin Options
-Forums listing display options
-And the setting for that should be:
+Depth of Forums - Forum Home = 2
+Depth of Forums - Forum Display = 2
+Depth of Sub-Forums = 2

As I see your sreen shot ..your depth of sub-forums is 1 ...you should change it to 2 ...then it's should work fine .

Check all that options ...It's may fix your problem .

What exactly does this feature do? My understanding is that it should exclude forums/subforums from being listed entirely. Although it doesn't seem to do this at all. I tried listing the subforum, the parent forum, and tried also parent category. None of these had any noticable effect.

Either this is a bug or a feature that pertains to something else. In any case, if there a way to hide subforums from being listed from specific forums?

Edit: Now I think I understand what the Exclude function does. Although Is there a way to completely hide subforums from being listed on forumhome?

Edit 2: Found a small work-around for what I need Basically I went into the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template and found this code:

<if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont" style="margin-top:$stylevar[cellpadding]px"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>

and replaced it with this code:

<if condition="($forum[forumid] == 1 OR $forum[forumid] == 2)"><else />
        <if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont" style="margin-top:$stylevar[cellpadding]px"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>
</if>

Where as 1 and 2 are the two forumids I don't want to have the subforums appear under.

Thanks,

I changed them all to 2 and it didnt affect the output of the page in any way, it still looks exactly the same.
