Forum Structure

[HandsomeToad]

Howdy peeps,

I have been trying to figure out how to make all "levels" of my forums all show up on the main page. What I mean by that is I have the main forums setup by geographical areas and then within each, they are subdivided by areas within the main area and in those, I have further subdivisions. An example is this:

Numismatic Discussion Forums (main level)

North America (level 2)

United States (level 3)

Various Forums (level 4)

Canada (level 3)
Greenland (level 3)
Saint Pierre & Miguelon (level 3)
Bermuda (level 3)

On the main page all I can see is the North America level and none of the sub-levels below it but on other Main Forums, that only have one sub-level, the sub-levels are viewable on the main page, it's only the forums that have 2 or more sub-levels that won't show up.

I know there has to be a "Show Level" function somewhere but I've either overlooked it or not found it yet and I need help finding it (I lost my map).

Ps: If my explanation isn't understandable, then go look at my forum:

coinchat.org/forums

Notice North America and how there is no collapsible thingy and then click on North America and see what all is "under" it. I want all of that to show up on the main page, with the ability to collapse it (user defined).

Pps: Under "vBulletin Options" / "vBulletin Options" / "Forum Listings Display Options" there are sections that look like what I'm talking about but I have those set to 4 and it does nothing.

You need to create new templates for it. Copy forumhome_forumbit_level2_post and forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost and call them forumhome_forumbit_level3_post and forumhome_forumbit_level3_nopost. (And for level4, if needed.) See if that works.

That sounds greek to me. :erm:

Where am I suppose to do that at and how do I access it?

You would Add a template by selecting Add a Template in the Style Manager dropdown for that style. You may want to read the manual about it - Editing the Templates

You were right on the money, Lynne! :up:

The Editing Template walkthru thingy explained everything and I found the codes to copy and now everything shows up exactly like I wanted. It was so easy!

I'm so tickled!

Ps: Now to fix my smiley problem.

We have a couple of users on my site who love their smilies as much as you appear to. It's hard not to smilie with so many smilies smiling at you.

Glad you got it working!
