Template Help Needed - sub forums only

[Mike Edge]

I can't figure out how to do this. When you click on a main forum. I want to remove everything below the sub forum list, like the red box in this screenshot http://awesomescreenshot.com/0d8146ej42 Removing the display of posts in the main forums and ability to post in main forums.

Why don't you make "The Inn" into a category instead of having it as a forum node if you don't plan to have threads there?

The site will have many forums so instead of a bunch of forums on the node list, "The Inn" serves as a sub catagory and lists all the sub forums within it on the node list taking up far less space.

What I meant is this:

-- FB Forums Welcome Center (Category)
-----> The Inn (Category) (acts like sub-category)
---------> Subforum A
---------> Subforum B
---------> Subforum C

An category inside category. Isn't that what you want to archieve?

 

[Mike Edge]

Yes but then they don't display as sub forums like this .... http://awesomescreenshot.com/005146hj1c but instead as a single forum list like in second node.. taking up far more space.

hmm that one is showing blank.. Ok example http://awesomescreenshot.com/0ba146i5c3

You will need to edit the template and use a node ID conditional.

<xen:if is="{$forum.node_id} != x">
Template content
</xen:if>

Is there an easier way to do it then each node id as I want to do this for all first level forums.

I think you got me hinged... because I was interested at knowing what I did not understand.

... and this is what I came up with in few seconds using CyberAP's guide.

 

[Mike Edge]

Oh I thought a cat inside a cat you could post in the 2nd level cat, perfect! Thank you.

Yes. It's an category inside an category, but since an category can't have threads, it only shows the child nodes.
