    css additional to show all subforums on activity stream at home page level

    Hello all , since the option to set forum depth in vbulletin 4 was removed from vbulletin 5 , what's a straight forward css additional code to make activity stream module "at the home page level" to display all subforums and their latest posts "let's say latest 3 posts " , like somehow "diplay all " + latest 3 posts on each subforum

    let us assume that all forums and their subforums are categories except the most child subforum of each forum, that way at the last of each forum tree we will also be able to see the latest posts "let's say latest 3 posts " of that last "most child subforum" of each forum category

    cz as it is now , at the home page level , activity stream module would display only maximum of 3 levels more or less and not unless you have maximum 3 levels of subforums under that forum you would no longer see the latest posts of that forum on the home page.

    any idea how to remove that limit? , this would be the equivalent of setting forum depth to "0" in vbulletin 4

    any thoughts would help

    tnx

    The Activity stream should show all recent activity regardless of the channel. If you mean the channel list (default tab in a new installation) you cannot add content with CSS. You can only change how it is displayed. You would need custom HTML and PHP code to add additional depth.

      Tnx Wayne but i beg to differ on your statement that "The Activity stream should show all recent activity regardless of the channel" , if you look up our forum you would notice that The Activity Stream shows recent activity on home page ONLY FOR CHANNELS THAT ARE 2nd GENERATION CHILDREN AT MOST, as you can see on our Activity Stream that for deeper Channels you would not see their LATEST ACTIVITY on the Home Page.

      This is important to us because our members tend to love to see their posts on the home page -even for a short period of time - so they tend to FIND A REASON to post more on Channels which are visible on the Home Page than those in which you need to click to navigate deeper in order to view on the next child pages of the forum, this leaves us with a ton load of moderation work to do , and also slows down our traffic , cz more posts more SEO :-D

      Any thoughts on how to make the deeper sub-forums visible on home page ?

      Or at least to cause what i just quoted from you "The Activity stream should show all recent activity regardless of the channel" , in other words how to make the Activity Stream really show Recent Activity of all sub-forums even the deeper ones which aren't visible on the home page ?

      Tnx for the valuable ideas

        Edit the module and make sure all of your forums are selected then.
