Additional front page options 2.2.x - v1
Let me make this clear - I saw this hack on a set of forums, thought it looked nice, and created it myself for my boards. The idea is the property of that site since I didn't think of the idea myself. However, I made the changes to the code myself. I am not sure if this has been documented before as a hack on this site - if it has then feel free to ignore or delete this file.

Is there a way to add this to sub-forums also? I often subscribe to those since the home ones are just one click away

EDITED: Nevermind, I got it!

Which template did you edit for the sub-forum?

yzztik · #34 01-07-2003, 06:43 AM

the forumdisplay templates ... same as the forumhomes it tells you to edit, just in forumdisplay instead.
