Hide Sub-Sub Forums on Index.

[dpidddy]

hi

I have :

Parent Forum > Sub Forum > Sub Sub Forum

How do I stop the Sub Sub Forum from showing up on the index page.


On the edit forum, if I select No for "List subforum in parent-forum’s legend:" both the Sub Forum and the Sub Sub Forum won't show.
However I want the sub forum to show on the index page and under the parent's legend.
But not the sub sub forum.

Is there a Mod for this?

thanks in advance.

There is not a way to have it only show in the parent's legend. The listed options make it appear in all legends. I do not know of a MOD that alters this functionality.

I wrote some code that will hide the Subforum list in the index page using the show/hide script.

But it will hide the list. I didn't know the Subforum list showed the sub sub forums.
I need to go make some sub sub forums and check this out...

I'm with you dpidddy... I created a sub forum inside of a subforum. Two forums deep. A "sub subforum".
I have played around with all of the settings in the forums and I can not get the "sub subforum" to hide.
If I make the "sub subforum" hide on the index then it want show in it's parent subforum legend.

That is what you were asking isn't it?
You do not want the "sub subforum" to show in the index's forum legend...
You only want the subforums to show there.

But you still want that "sub subforum" to show in it's parent subforum legend.
It's like you can't make it show only in it's parent forum.
And there are two different sections in the settings that should allow this to happen.

Why are those two different options in each forum setting?
What are those two settings for exactly? I'm confused there.
I guess it may take a mod like Noxwizard said.

That's exactly it, Sniper_E.

Are you able to make a MOD for this, or should I put a request in the MOD request forum?

Yes, you can make a mod request. I'm not a programmer.

Quick fix to list (globally) only direct child subforum:

In includes/functions_display.php replace line

Code: Select all

			$subforums[$parent_id][$forum_id]['display'] = ($row['display_on_index']) ? true : false;

with line

Code: Select all

			$subforums[$parent_id][$forum_id]['display'] = ($row['display_on_index'] && $parent_id == $row['parent_id']) ? true : false;

I don't have time to create and maintain proper mod but perhaps somebody will come with full mod and perhaps more features.

drake127: your solution works for me, thank you thank you thank you!!!

[midora]

Thanks. I would prefer if this would be standard.
A proposal may be to define a depth value for sub-forums in legends (Default 1
