Step 1:

Go to AdminCP -> Forums & Moderators -> Add New Forum

Add the Title of your New Forum. Look at the bottom of this first box and you will see: Parent Forum

There is a dropdownbox to the right in which you find the name of the Forum in which you will be creating the Sub-Forum.

The Display Order is used when you have more than one Sub-Forum. The one with #1 will be listed first, #2 second, and so on. Further down you pick the Style Options and you select the Style you want to use from the dropdownbox. Also set the other Options. SAVE.

Step 2:

AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> Forum Listing Display Options -> (Set) Depth of Sub-Forum (at a number greater than "Depth of Forums" )

"If you have forums below the depth specified in the 'Depth of Forums' settings above, you can display them as sub-forum links in each forum's display area."

slappy posted the correct instructions on how to change it to work like it does here. If this does not work, what were you trying for?

[pinopio]

It works great, :) but what I will like to do is the same but for only 2 forum sections and not the whole forum. Can this be posible? Did I explain myself :o

Ok, I have many subforums in diferent forums sections, but I dont want to show this http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2...4/Image1-1.jpg (http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b22/rubi1524/Image1-1.jpg) in every forum but only 2 of them. Can that be posible?

Any answer i will appreciate it :)


Thank you guys :)

You'd have to to use a template conditional to make it only happen for the 2 specific forums

AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Click on << >> > Find the forumhome template group and expand ti > Edit the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template and find

$childforumbits

Change it too

<if condition="$forum[forumid] == X or $forum[forumid] == Y">$childforumbits</if>

Woooohooooooooo :D Works great Zachery.

nope, I was looking at the wrong thing. Ok, once I have done this what I will need to follow. I tried but dont know how to set which forums I want to show the subforums and which ones not


Thanks,

You need to replace X and Y in the example with the actual forum ID numbers. Any number you put in there will show the subforums for that forum.

One more question and hopefully im done :). In my case I want to do this to 3 diferent sections. Where you say replace X with the ID number of the forum I want the sections to appear and Y with the SubForum ID from the X section, how can I add multiple forums in this very same code.

Is this correct?
<if condition="$forum[forumid] == 4 or $forum[forumid] == 2, 3">$childforumbits</if>

See what i want is to have those 2 sections from forum ID #4 to be able to show the subforum in the main page:confused:

[mjp]

Try:

<if condition="$forum[forumid] == 2 or $forum[forumid] == 3">$childforumbits</if>

You can't just comma-delimit additional forum IDs, you have to add to the if statement:

<if condition="$forum[forumid] == 2 or $forum[forumid] == 3 or $forum[forumid] == 4 or $forum[forumid] == 5 or $forum[forumid] == 6">$childforumbits</if>

You can use this though:

<if condition="in_array($forum[forumid], array(2,3,4,5,6))">$childforumbits</if>
