Adding a link in the forum section listing...

[Matt Whelan]

Hi. How do I add a link to a forum section like this forum has in there vendors section?

Can anyone give me any direction? Am I able to do this through my vbulletin control panel? If so, can I have some step by baby step directions?

Thank you!

There's no version number in the footer, but judging by how the postbit and regster pages look, I'll assume you're on 2.2.9 - 2.3.2. I coulda swore I had seen a hack that does just this, but now I can't find it...

Well, another easy way to do it is this:
For the title of a new forum, use this code:

</a><a href="http://linkto.your/page.here">Text to show as title</a><a href="#">

That code should completely prevent unclosed tags, and still make your "new forum" be a link.

You might wanna close the forum to new posts though. Leaving it open is just asking for someone to figure out the forumid and sneak in and post.




Edit: Oh, and could a mod move this to one of the hacking forums? I don't think this thread belongs here anymore.

Thank ya, Mist.

I think I'll PM Matt and let him know where his thread ended up.
