 Topic: Collapsed Subforums for Tidy Look
Posted: 21 March 2012 at 10:25am |
In "Forum Home" all sub forums are collapsed under their appropriate forum. If I click the forum name, all the subforums are listed individually (one per row), and then below the list of subforums, the topics appear. The problem is that I have a dozen sub forums and the topics for the general forum aren't visible unless I scroll down -- is it easy to add a forum feature to show collapsed sub forums? Same format as in Forum Home would work just fine. I'd rather give the user easy access to topics for the forum they selected than make them scroll through the suforums they already saw and opted to pass. Whether or not this feature gets added, I'd like to make the mod. Would Forum_Topics.asp work if I copied the subforum code from Default.asp? Can someone point out the lines I need to copy (from default.asp) and the ones I need to overwrite (forum_topics.asp)? Many thanks!!

I am not entirely sure what you mean about copying code from the default.asp page as it does not collapse "sub forums".
It does how ever narrow down to one specific category and shows only (top level) forums under the selected category.
You could look into using JavaScript, such as jQuery to show/hide the sub forums list. You would have to be familiar with JavaScript and HTML to achieve it though.
But there is not anything already, as far as I am aware, built for Web Wiz that you can just copy and paste over.

I don't need java, just the subforums separated by commas (as shown below), not in individual rows. If I select the "Web Wiz Forums" link shown above, it lists all the subforums, each on separate rows. My users need to scroll down a page past the long list of sub forums to get to the posts for the general forum. Some people probably don't even know the topics are on the bottom!

I want this same subforums format links to be shown on the Forum_Topics.asp page.
So I'm thinking if there was an forum option in forum admin to show subforums in compact mode? Otherwise, I would like to make this modification myself, but would like some help identifying what lines I might need to move. Thanks!

There is not an option to collapse sub forums shown within parent forums.
The code used within forums to show sub forums is very different to that on the forums homepage. It would be simpler to modify the format that the sub forums are displayed in the forum_topics.asp page.

Whew. Making those changes is pretty brutal, especially as it increasingly dawned on me all the changes will get blown away with any one update to the forum_topics.asp page; I'm calling it quits for now and will just hope that this is a feature that gets added to your list of pending enhancements. Thanks again for your help and this great app!!!
