maybe im just being dense, or blind, or something to that effect, but here's what i want to do and cant seem to figure out
My site runs 1.1rc2, and i was looking for a way, either by a setting or a mod, to make a parent board expandable on the Board Index, so that it shows the child boards, but something that can also be collapsible if the user doesnt want to see it.
Yes, i know i can set up another category, but thats not what i want. these boards dont get much use, so i want it to be up to the user has the choice not to see it as a child board.
is there a mod out there that i just cant find? is it a setting i missed? any help would be appreciated
as much as i hate bumping threads, is it common for requests like this to go unanswered? if so, i'll leave it alone, but even as much as a simple "no, you cant do that" or "yes, that can be done" would be fine
i do understand that it's all open-source programming, but all of my other experiences with open source have led to pretty decent community support
i may be new to smf/php, but im not really new to programming, or open source code, but the way this site works, it seems like ive had to bump my own threads several times to get any help
i don't know... i guess im just rambling now... was really looking for some help...
I'm sure it's possible to modify a theme to do what you're asking. You'd have to alter the layout of the index to account for a hidden div and add to the javascript that hides/unhides divs.
As for your lack of replies, a better topic would help get attention. I'll also move this to the themes board, since it's theme related.
What you are asking can be a bit tricky, at least if you want to save the options per member. As a one time affair, like kegobeer suggest , a simple javascript could do.
But these things are really what categories are there for imho. Put those rather unused boards in one and problem is at least somewhat solved.
I think I understand what you mean, and I do apologize for posting it in the wrong forum, as well as my attitude in my second post to this thread.
However, now my question changes, based on the answers I've already now received.
I noticed that the SMF site has what appears to be, I guess the best way to put it is, a "not as bright" indicator for new messages in child boards. Is that defaut in SMF 1.1rc2? Or is that something I need to set up?
If I need to set it up, how would I do that?
