Quesiton – How would I get sub-forums to display as rows vertically?

Thanks for fixing the sub-forums – they now display when clicking the parent forum.

So now….

1) How would I get them to display vertically (as rows) when I click on the parent forum. Currently, they just keep extending on a horizontal line (somewhat hidden and hard to navigate).

 

2) How do I remove the sub-forum from showing on the main forum to reduce the clutter?

 

Thanks for the great work!

what is one persons clutter is anothers treasure…

have you looked the theme template files yet???  subforum info is output in there…  for group view at least…  you could just remove the displaying of subforum info…

have to reiterate that with themes you are in control of what is displayed and how…  though you may have to do more than use the built in template tags if you get too exotic…

not following what you want to do on #1

Thanks again Mr Papa!

 

I’ll look at those in more depth. 

 

As for question #1, when I click a parent forum, I see the sub-forums listed (awesome!), but they are listed horizontally across the bar. What I’d like to do is have sub-forums listed like this so it’s easier to read and not limited to the horizontal space on the screen:

 

Parent Forum

  • Sub-forum
  • Sub-forum
  • Sub-forum
  • Sub-forum

I really thought I had included a stack option for the subforum list but I see I am wrong. I had certainly intended to. Will be done – keep an eye on the bug reports.

OK a new parameter has been added to the function call. This is on both the Group and Forum views for the subforum list.

Just set stack=1 to the parameters. The default is 0 (zero) – no stacking.

Awesome thanks!

 

I’m wondering what your recommendation is such that I can allow Forum members to create Sub-Topics?
