Hi Michelle,

I know you're always looking for good ideas, so I figured I would pass this on.

I am working on a forum that has a lot of sub-forums. Having them all displayed on the forum listing is very over whelming. I used $forum->depth to limit the forum to only display parent forums.

Anyhow, it's an easy enough bit of code, which I have attached. I figure it might be easy for you to work something like this into the adv forum config page, so no one has to edit the template.

I modified Bluee_Lagoon, my changes are on lines 50 and 102. I know enough PHP to be dangerous, so I'm not sure if there is a better way to do this, but it seems to work for me. Hopefully you can think of a more elegant way to include this concept. If not, maybe this will help someone else.

Is there a way to print the forums that are removed as links?
Like.. instead of having a subforum shown on the forum index, we can use that code of yours, and then try to make the subforums display like phpBB3:
http://www.phpbb.com/community/ (Subforums are displayed as links underneath the parent forums description)...

I'm trying to find a solution to this in order to add this feature to my phpBB3 theme for advanced forum, based on prosilver... :)

I'm sure there is, but the easy, no code way would be to simply include the links in the forum descriptions.

Version: 5.x-1.0-alpha16 » 6.x-1.2

You can easily do this without hacking the core file using pre-process function

function mytemplate_preprocess_forum_list(&$variables) {

		foreach($variables['forums'] as $id => $forum) {
			if ($forum->depth>=1) {
				unset($variables['forums'][$id]);
		}

	}
}

I know the post is very old but still it may help.
