[dcmouser]

I hope there is no problem with re-opening this post.  No one answered the original poster, unfortunately.

I'm currently working with the default version of 1.1.4 (and looking forward to 2.0 when it is available to the public    ).

I'm interested in collapsing only the profile section at the top of my forum.  I'd like to keep the news and search function on at all times.

Here is the illustrated version:


Hope someone can help.

Hi, one way to do that is to delete the following line in index.template.php in the default theme. Or any other theme you might use in the future.

Code Select Expand

document.getElementById("upshrinkHeader2").style.display = mode ? "none" : "";

Kays,

Thank you for your quick response.  I did what you suggested and it seemed to work fine... for a while.

Once I went to and from different boards the News and Search section would TOTALLY disappear.  I had to open the collapsed field and reload the page so the News and Search would come back.

I have replaced the code and everything is working like it was before the change.

I think my request is going to require a little more than just the deletion of the suggested code.  I do wish it was that easy, though.

I still would like to obtain the right method for my request.  If you or anyone else has another answer, please help.

Thank you again, Kays, for your time.

Warmly,
Sassafras

Hi, try replacing that line with this and see what happens:

Code Select Expand

document.getElementById("upshrinkHeader2").style.display = mode ? "" : "";

You need to remove that line:

Code Select Expand

document.getElementById("upshrinkHeader2").style.display = mode ? "" : "";
and find:

Code Select Expand

<table id="upshrinkHeader2"', empty($options['collapse_header']) ? '' : ' style="display: none;"', ' width="100%" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" border="0">
and replace with:

Code Select Expand

<table width="100%" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" border="0">
