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."

Thank you so much Slappy, you the man. I will try it in a few hours and I will report back.

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

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 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>

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

[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>
