I can't get this addon to install. When I goto addons and click install it just does nothing. I'm not sure whats going on. I've never had this issue before.

Edit: I tried right clicking install and open in new tab and I get HTTP ERROR 500

Edit: Fixed with this update...

Thanks @S Thomas

No clue either. Try to re-download it and make sure all files are correctly uploaded.

Nvm, I can see what you mean. Fix is coming.

@Xon has an addon that should do this (but it's paid) - https://xenforo.com/community/resources/aggregating-forums.6633/

I looked at that one and its far to complex for my needs

VisibleChildren - Shows child posts in parent nodes

That one is small, compact and exactly what is needed, simply click one checkbox

@Xon is nice but I was overwhelmed the second I looked at all the check boxes in his pics.
Maybe if he can strip it down and release something small and tidy like Visible Children but right now I am trying to find something similar to that.

Sure, this shows a large number of configuration options but they are very simple and just the same thing repeated for every forum. You can just check the very top-level forum nodes and it sets up aggregation for each forum node under it.

You can then disable users from opt-ing out on the front-end with some option changes.
