Home, Forum, Blogs, Groups, Special

[oldz442]

If Home is deleted from the default installed forums/channels below, will it break anything? I believe when I broke things recently while testing, I deleted Blogs and Groups only. Does 'Home' actually serve a purpose?

Home
-- Forum
-- Blogs
-- Groups
---- Uncategorized Groups
-- Special

In the pic below... is Home the same as Home in the tree above? General (category) and Site Related (forum) are ones I created.

In your image Home is the parent of every other category. If you delete it you will lose everything which appears as a child forum of the Home parent.

tx. I almost want to delete it just to see if I can re-add it w/o having to reinstall everything all over again like before. Perhaps these critical default forums/channels should be read-only.

Deleting any of the super categories you listed in the first post will have catastrophic results on your installation and should not be done. In fact as of beta 19 it shouldn't be possible.

Home is the root parent node of the site. It is used to set default channel permissions across the site. Without it, no permission, no content, no site.

Was also wondering b/c I changed Home to Homee in the ACP just to see if it changed in the breadcrumbs... and nothing did.

Hi Wayne, I have bought vbulletin for many years but have not started any forum site. I hope vb5 will be my first and successful site.

I would like to ask, how can I disable the tab for groups. This is a new site, though I have forum and blog post, I don't want to leave an empty tab for Group as there is nothing yet.

You can do this in the site builder.
