sub forums

[sitka]

how did you get the sub forums to show below the threads? this is once you have clicked the main forum. all the sub forums in the main directory are show below the threads instead of the top.

This is what i think

When u creat a forum u will see this options

Forum is Active (Will not appear if set to no, but remains accessible if the forum's URL is known)

Put Yes

in the other forum that u need to show the subforum in the Forum Description add the other forum use html code i think this is how they created their forum..

You just need to modify the FORUMDISPLAY template, and take this code:

<if condition="$show['forumslist']">
<!-- sub-forum list  -->
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-bottom-width:0px">
<tr>
	<td class="tcat" width="100%">$vbphrase[subforums]<span class="normal"> : $foruminfo[title]</span></td>
	<if condition="$show['forumsearch']">
	<td class="vbmenu_control" id="forumsearch.subforums" nowrap="nowrap"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[search_this_forum]</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("forumsearch.subforums"); </script></td>
	</if>
</tr>
</table>
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<thead>
	<tr align="center">
	  <td class="thead">&nbsp;</td>
	  <td class="thead" width="100%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
	  <td class="thead" width="175">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
	  <td class="thead">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
	  <td class="thead">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
	  <if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">
	  <td class="thead">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
	  </if>
	</tr>
</thead>
$forumbits
</table>
<br />
<!-- / sub-forum list  -->
</if>

and move it below this code:

<if condition="$show['threadslist']">
<!-- threads list  -->

<form action="inlinemod.php" method="post" id="inlinemodform">
<input type="hidden" name="url" value="$url" />

	<if condition="$pagenav"><td align="$stylevar[right]">$pagenav</td></if>

Or something like that. You can play with the placement to get it to show in the the position desired.
