remove a forum expand-collapse tab, and erase title-lunk

[SpreadingLight]

How can this forum be collapsed always, so that arrow tab is always invisible. This forum is simply a title bar.

And I'd also like to delete the hyperlink capability of this forum title.

Thanks for any help

For example:

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> « » -> Forum Home Templates -> forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost

Remove the red code to remove the collapse arrow from categories. And remove the blue code to remove the hyperlink from category titles:

<tbody>
	<tr>
		<td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>">
			<if condition="$childforumbits">
			[color=red]<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumbit_$forumid')"><img id="collapseimg_forumbit_$forumid" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat{$collapseimg_forumid}.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>[/color]
			</if>
			[color=blue]<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]">[/color]$forum[title][color=blue]</a>[/color]
			<if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if>
			<if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>
		</td>
	</tr>
</tbody>
<if condition="$childforumbits">
<tbody [color=red]id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid" style="{$collapseobj_forumid}"[/color]>
$childforumbits
</tbody>
</if>

Thanks Jake,

Is this able to be done on a per forum basis?

You can surround the various colored pieces with this conditional to hide them for one forum only:

<if condition="$forum[forumid] != X"></if>

Where X is the forumid for which you want to remove those things.

Removing the blue code also removed the forum titles. I was hoping to only remove the hyper-threading capability.

Excellent. What is the specific placement the codes needs to be in to 'surround'?

The blue code does not span the entire line. Look closely. The forum title variable is not colored blue. Do not remove the title, only the link.

For example, I have placed the green conditional around the first piece of code, where X is the forumid of the forum for which you want to remove the collapse arrow:

<tbody>
	<tr>
		<td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>">
			<if condition="$childforumbits">
			[color=green]<if condition="$forum[forumid] != X">[/color]
			[color=red]<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumbit_$forumid')"><img id="collapseimg_forumbit_$forumid" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat{$collapseimg_forumid}.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>[/color]
			[color=green]</if>[/color]
			</if>
			[color=blue]<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]">[/color]$forum[title][color=blue]</a>[/color]
			<if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if>
			<if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>
		</td>
	</tr>
</tbody>
<if condition="$childforumbits">
<tbody [color=red]id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid" style="{$collapseobj_forumid}"[/color]>
$childforumbits
</tbody>
</if>

Add the same condition around the other colored pieces.

I applied that code and everything is working well and looks much better.

Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.

Any news on how to do this in v4.0.4?
