XF 1.1 Hide SubForums on forum index page

[Brent W]

In vBulletin you could tell it to not list subforums on the forumhome. Is there an option for this on xenForo to not have it render the subforums when you load the homepage of the forum?

Thanks.

Edit: This still renders all the html associated with sub forums. Is there a better way to do this to make it not render the html at all?

Not sure if you saw my edit so... a bump in case.

Can you post a link or screenshot?

View the source for http://www.cruisingtalk.com/

You can see that all the html for the subforums show up in the source. Seems like there could be a performance gain on page load there was a way not to render that html at all, since I don't want to show subforums on forum index.

Oh that's expected. The CSS hides those subforums on the rendered page such that it doesn't matter that the subforums are in the source code. If you want to remove the HTML then you need to edit this template:

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Templates -> node_forum_level_2

Thanks. I'll do that for a temporary fix. I opened a suggestion for a feature to not make this a template edit (similar to what many vBulletin users are used to).

Anyone find a better way to do this, and is node_forum_level_2 for the index page?

Where is it?
