If you hide them, no one will know they're there, so why not just delete them?

In BoardIndex.template.php delete this -

Code Select Expand



// Show the "Child Boards: ". (there's a link_children but we're going to bold the new ones...)
if (!empty($board['children']))
{
// Sort the links into an array with new boards bold so it can be imploded.
$children = array();
/* Each child in each board's children has:
id, name, description, new (is it new?), topics (#), posts (#), href, link, and last_post. */
foreach ($board['children'] as $child)
{
if (!$child['is_redirect'])
$child['link'] = '<a href="' . $child['href'] . '" ' . ($child['new'] ? 'class="new_posts" ' : '') . 'title="' . ($child['new'] ? $txt['new_posts'] : $txt['old_posts']) . ' (' . $txt['board_topics'] . ': ' . comma_format($child['topics']) . ', ' . $txt['posts'] . ': ' . comma_format($child['posts']) . ')">' . $child['name'] . ($child['new'] ? '</a> <a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=unread;board=' . $child['id'] . '" title="' . $txt['new_posts'] . ' (' . $txt['board_topics'] . ': ' . comma_format($child['topics']) . ', ' . $txt['posts'] . ': ' . comma_format($child['posts']) . ')"><img src="' . $settings['lang_images_url'] . '/new.gif" class="new_posts" alt="" />' : '') . '</a>';
else
$child['link'] = '<a href="' . $child['href'] . '" title="' . comma_format($child['posts']) . ' ' . $txt['redirects'] . '">' . $child['name'] . '</a>';

// Has it posts awaiting approval?
if ($child['can_approve_posts'] && ($child['unapproved_posts'] || $child['unapproved_topics']))
$child['link'] .= ' <a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=moderate;area=postmod;sa=' . ($child['unapproved_topics'] > 0 ? 'topics' : 'posts') . ';brd=' . $child['id'] . ';' . $context['session_var'] . '=' . $context['session_id'] . '" title="' . sprintf($txt['unapproved_posts'], $child['unapproved_topics'], $child['unapproved_posts']) . '" class="moderation_link">(!)</a>';

$children[] = $child['new'] ? '<strong>' . $child['link'] . '</strong>' : $child['link'];
}
echo '
<tr id="board_', $board['id'], '_children">
<td colspan="3" class="children windowbg">
<strong>', $txt['parent_boards'], '</strong>: ', implode(', ', $children), '
</td>
</tr>';
}



Back up the file before you try it, and make sure you get the brackets right at the end.

Well usually i dont touch the coding my self but i remember have done it before by ADMIN CP > Board > Setting but from there i cant remember where is it. i was just check or uncheck a box and the subforum was no more visible on the main page.

But thanks for your help

If you don't want to edit code yourself, try this mod here- http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2864

It will hide the child boards from the main index page, but if someone clicks on a board, the child boards will show then.

It works fine for version 2.0 and above, but you have to emulate to SMF 2.0. RC2

there is no admin option in the default installation.
