Forum Display Enhancements - Show Subforum Threads

This product is in response to a thread posted here:

Display subforum threads in parent forumdisplay thread list

by:

mchll9898

Overview:

This product allows you to designate forums in which all threads in that forum's child forums will be displayed in the thread listing. Threads that are in a child forum will display a "child forum" icon which links to the forum in which the thread resides. The mouseover tooltip for the icon is phrased in 'markfl_showsubforumthreads_icontitle'.

Updates:

Version 1.1:

• Resolved reported issue of child-forum icon displaying on all threads.

Version 1.2:

• Added setting for whether to include sticky threads in subforums.
• Added setting for cutoff in days for the date of last post to include threads in subforums.

Version 1.3:

• Added option to hide subforums.

Compatibility:

Tested and working on VB 4.2.x and may work on all 4.x versions of vBulletin.

If I select the option to hide sub forums though, it does hide them as intended.

I'm using vBulletin 4.2.2.

Have you tried it with the default style?

Hello,

Yes, at first I thought it had to do with the styles but the same issue appears with the default style.

Thanks for the quick response!

Can you attach screenshots of what you're getting and your forum structure related to the screenshot? I don't use this myself, and it's been two years since I coded it, so I will need to see what you're getting and try to go from there.

Hello,

I am attaching the screenshots of the plugin options, how my forum looks and the forum structure.

Okay, it appears that you have selected a forum that has no child forums, and so there is nothing for the product to do.

[Visual010]

Hello,

Yes, sorry it was the last configuration I tried but I forgot to tell you I tried all of them. As of now, a forum with child forums is selected and the issue stands.

Thanks for your help so far!

I just tested it again on my local dev site and it functions as it should. I have no idea why it's not working for you.

[Visual010]

Hello.

Just for the record, this is how the default style looks like.

I have no idea what's wrong.

If you want, send me (via PM) the login credentials to an admin account and I can come to your site and try to troubleshoot.
