Hide child board display on main forum index ?

[MoreBloodWine]

I made this site for a friend of mine but he was curious about something.

Is there a way ti hide the sub / child board display ?

[Illori]

not by default

Is there any quick code to /**/ to hide it ?

[Illori]

no idea off hand, it may be possible.

This should work. In BoardIndex.template.php look for:

Code Select Expand


if (!empty($board['children']))
{


And add after that:

Code Select Expand


                                        break;

Or you can do this:

Code Select Expand



<!--td class="windowbg3 smalltext largepadding"><strong>', $txt['parent_boards'], '</strong>: ', implode(', ', $children), '</td-->

Code Select Expand


if (!empty($board['children']))
{


And add after that:

Code Select Expand

                                        break;


This works, but if there's a board below it with children it hides them, the other boards with child boards.

I tried the other suggestion but there's these little weird offsets with it that are hard to mis because of the TR but if you "hide" the TR then the whole display goes out of whack.

Two other opitions.

BoardIndex.template.php

Look for

Code Select Expand


// Show the "Child Boards: ". (there's a link_children but we're going to bold the new ones...)


And add before that:

Code Select Expand


                                 $board['children'] = array();


Or in Subs-BoardIndex.php look for

Code Select Expand


// A valid child!
$isChild = true;


And add before that

Code Select Expand


                         continue;

Ok, so scratch original idea then go for either or of the new ones but not both ?

Whichever one works best for you.

The first is theme specific. The second prevents the child board array from being built. So it's not theme specific.

Well, the second (continue;) one is what did the trick.

My buddy who I made the site for said he wanted to clean it up a bit and have the child boards hidden til the board is opened up and then the children get displayed.

[Kays]

Great, glad you got something to work.

A simple edit as that will be easy to remove afterwards.

[MoreBloodWine]

I didn't know this until now but while the continue; thing stops the child array from being built, it breaks the count child in parent totals thing and I kinda want / need that.

Any ideas how to correct this ?

[Illori]

you mean

admin -> boards -> settings Count child's posts in parent's totals 

is enabled?

Yes, because when I removed the continue; edit to show the child array the count in parent totals comes back as well along with showing the last post by thing etc.

Check out spiritualwarbiblestudies.com and open Second Thessalonians where you will see the one post i nthe child board but not have any of it's data show on the main board.

[Kays]

Yes, it will do that since the data for the child boards isn't being collected.

Use option A in that post then. I'm pretty certain that it will work.

If you mean $board['children'] = array(); it doesnt, check out spiritualwarbiblestudies, I left it bugged...

Let me know after you look so I can correct the "bugging".

Edit: Option B's the only one that half worked.

[Kays]

Dang, it used to work for 1.1.x.

Option C. A bit further up the page (~ line 135) look for:

Code Select Expand


foreach ($category['boards'] as $board)
{


and add after it:

Code Select Expand


$board['children'] = array();

So undo the goofy one or leave it to work in conjunction with this new one ?

Edit: OT but how if at all do you enabled line numbers in PuTTy, I'm using vi to do the edits.

Edit 2: Got it but still curious about the OT edit.

[Kays]

Remove the previous code added. You're just moving it up the page.

I don't use PuTTy, It might be an option in the View menu. If there is one.
