Added:

Display order, so it orders the sub-forums the way they are listed in your admin CP.

Added an hr.

Thats it it!

if you watn the HR to look good add this into your
"Custom replacements"

hr is replaced by <hr size="1" color="{ tablebordercolor }"

{ tablebordercolor } - dont forget to remove the spaces "{ }

that is it!

Right...this didn't work for me. Do forums have to have a description for this to work? Lots of my forums don't have descriptions....

Also, how would I get it so it only shows the total threads/replies for all the subforums added up, but not the subforums themselves?

here, look at this screenshot!

Thats how you do it!

still works!

as you can see in the txt file, you need to mod 2 files, not just index.php

index.php and forumdisplay.php

A very very trivial matter...but for the sake of making the subforum links exactly identical to the regular forum links, I changed the line that starts with $subs.= so that the forumid number and sessionhash were reversed. The stock vB has the sessionhash in the link first, followed by the forum specification...in this hack, it's backwards. As I said, it's trivial, I'm sure it makes no difference; I just like to have things looking the same, that's all.

PHP Code:

$subs.="<a href=\"forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forum_child[forumid]\">$forum_child[title]</a>";

I have forums that have subforums. They go 5 levels deep. I modified both files. It doesn't work.

Than I dont know whats wrong, : P (sorry), should have worked with ease, maybe you have some other hacks runing that prevent it from displaying or you installed it wrong, who knows, I'm very limited in php codeing.

So this hack is not suppored, just trying to help the best way I can, and I didnt write it "ethank" did, I only mod it a little to give it a better look and display order of the forums, thats all.
