Its just a code mod. I'll post the code tonight. Its quite simple really and probably not the best way to do it.

Anyhow:

Before this in index.php:

PHP Code:

        if ((!$forumperms['canpostnew'] and $showlocks) or $forum['allowposting']==0) {
          $forum['onoff'].='lock';
        } 

Add this:

PHP Code:

// ADDED BY ERK
if ($forum[cancontainthreads]!=0)
{

        $subforums=$DB_site->query("select title,forumid from forum where parentid = $forum[forumid] and active != 0");
if ($DB_site->num_rows($subforums)>0)
{
        $forum['description'] .= "<BR><B>Sub-forums:</B> ";
}
$i = 0;
while ($forum_child=$DB_site->fetch_array($subforums))
{
        $i++;
        $permission=$DB_site->query_first("select accessmask from access where userid = $bbuserinfo[userid] AND forumid = $forum_child[forumid]");
        if ($permission['acessmask'] != 0 || $permission['accessmask'] == null)
        {
          $subs.="<a href=\"forumdisplay.php?forumid=$forum_child[forumid]&s=$session[sessionhash]\">$forum_child[title]</a>";
          if ($i < $DB_site->num_rows($subforums))
          {
                  $subs.=", ";
          }
        }
}
$DB_site->free_result($subforums);
$forum_child=null;
$forum['description'].= $subs;
$subs=null;
}
// END ADDED 

And in forumdisplay.php, do the same thing.

As the description tag allows html you could just type in the html. depends how often you change your forums i guess.

Yeah, but this code takes permissions into account, and with my site some forums have varying access masks for certain users, so.....

Thank you, nice hack! : P

Little fix, this displays the Sub-Forums in order they are added!

PHP Code:

// ADDED BY ERK 
if ($forum[cancontainthreads]!=0) 
{ 

$subforums=$DB_site->query("select title,forumid from forum where parentid = $forum[forumid] and active != 0 ORDER BY parentid,displayorder"); 
if ($DB_site->num_rows($subforums)>0) 
{ 
$forum['description'] .= "<BR><BR><B>Sub-Forums:</B> "; 
} 
$i = 0; 
while ($forum_child=$DB_site->fetch_array($subforums)) 
{ 
$i++; 
$permission=$DB_site->query_first("select accessmask from access where userid = $bbuserinfo[userid] AND forumid = $forum_child[forumid]"); 
if ($permission['acessmask'] != 0 || $permission['accessmask'] == null) 
{ 
$subs.="<a href=\"forumdisplay.php?forumid=$forum_child[forumid]&s=$session[sessionhash]\">$forum_child[title]</a>"; 
if ($i < $DB_site->num_rows($subforums)) 
{ 
$subs.=", "; 
} 
} 
} 
$DB_site->free_result($subforums); 
$forum_child=null; 
$forum['description'].= $subs; 
$subs=null; 
} 
// END ADDED
