Sub-forums?

[Neil E.]

I suppose they should be called sub-nodes? This post: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/tutorial-sub-forum-grid-listing.10978/ shows what I guess is the stock appearance. How does one actually create a sub-forum (sub-node)? No point worrying about how they look until I can make them in the first place. Can I turn an existing forum into a sub-forum?

Yo dude,

Go to your admin panel and click on Node List. Then click on Create a new node. When you are creating it, make the partent category the forum you wish for it to be a child forum of.

Hmmm, I didn't explain that very well. I am looking at having only sub-nodes in a category. The idea is to reduce the real estate used for a group of nodes that get very little use. I see now that the default setup requires one node in the category so that it is the main node for all the sub-nodes. Perhaps I am better off to change the appearance of the nodes so they just take up less space.

I've been poking away at this and getting closer to a layout that works for me. The problem is that I want users to go ONLY to the sub-forums. That means the h3 title "Corporate Sponsors" must not have a working link (it could however go to the forum index so the same page loads).

node_44 contains all the node content, the only thing different is that the sub-nodes exist in subForumsPopup/subForumsMenu.

Suggestions on varoius methods to deactivate the link?
