Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.1) Make it work if you have no containers so small forums aren't forced to make a container which makes the breadcrumbs goofy.
2) If a container is not at root, don't make a new table but rather show it inline and force all forums under it to be listed as subforums.

merlinofchaos commentedI needed this to deal with some stuff at Sony, so I implemented it. I also fixed, or more like worked around a bug where all forums with a depth > 2 got lost. I just forced them into the same subforum list so it's not ideal.
This still has minor issues in that if you have forums not in a container that are beneath a container, they will appear in the container.

michelleRe-opening... I never actually looked at this and it's not working how I meant it to. When I get a chance to work on this, I'll discuss with you to make sure I don't mess up what you need for Sony. Basically, I want it to work how stand alone forum software does.

weimeng commentedMichelle, is the screenshot I've attached what you have in mind for more flexible container handling?
It's a very hackish solution that I'm working on for my own forums, based on the 1.x codebase. It assumes that every container with a depth of 1 is going to be a holding container. All containers and forums with a depth of 2 are displayed as subforums of that and anything deeper is not displayed at all.

michelleNot really... Basically it would look the same as if you have a forum with subforums but it wouldn't have the columns on the right since there would be no actual posts in the container.

michelleForgot this issue even existed. This whole section is totally being rewritten so this issue isn't needed anymore.
