Hi,

I am building af forum which has a subforum for each golfclub in Denmark (about 160).

http://www.vildmedgolf.dk" rel="no follow - www.vildmedgolf.dk

As these take up a lot of space on the default.asp, I would like to hide these subforums, but only here - so if you go to the main forum page, they will still be listed and working normally.

I tried playing around with default.asp, but cant seem to find an easy way of not displaying the subforums on this page? Can anyone help me?

This is not helpful to you, but I have the exact same problem - only not for golf. I have a http://www.signandtrade.com/forum/" rel="no follow - fantasy sports website in which as leagues are created I want to provide them their own forum. Please let me know if you find a work around. I have not looked into very deeply it yet (hiding them will be step two after automatically creating them as new leagues are added), but I know it will be the next step.

I believe that you found a way to do these modifications already, its been a long time since you asked for that.

With the new WWf version things changed a little and we have to use a different solution to hide subforuns.

Here is my workaround and someone has a simpler way to do it, please post here.

First include these lines here at default.asp:

'Else there the are categories so write the HTML to display categories and the forum names and a discriptionElse

'## Start Mod to hide sub foruns on first page ##	
%><table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" class="tableBorder" align="center">
 <tr class="tableLedger">
  <td width="5%">&nbsp;</td>
  <td width="50%"><% = strTxtForum %></td>
  <td width="10%" align="center"><% = strTxtTopics %></td>
  <td width="10%" align="center"><% = strTxtPosts %></td>
  <td width="30%"><% = strTxtLastPost %></td>
 </tr><%
'## End Mod to hide sub foruns on first page ##

	'Loop round to show all the categories and forums
	Do While intCurrentRecord <= Ubound(sarryForums,2)

Then comment these lines here:

		'Read in the details from the array of this category		intCatID = CInt(sarryForums(0,intCurrentRecord))
		strCategory = sarryForums(1,intCurrentRecord)		
		
'## Start Mod to hide sub foruns on first page ##
%>
<!--<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" class="tableBorder" align="center">
 <tr class="tableLedger">
  <td width="5%">&nbsp;</td>
  <td width="50%"><% = strTxtForum %></td>
  <td width="10%" align="center"><% = strTxtTopics %></td>
  <td width="10%" align="center"><% = strTxtPosts %></td>
  <td width="30%"><% = strTxtLastPost %></td>
 </tr>--><%
'## End Mod to hide sub foruns on first page ##
		
		'Display the category name

Then Comment and include these lines.

				'If we have run out of records jump out of forums loop into the category loop				If intCurrentRecord > Ubound(sarryForums,2) Then Exit Do
			Loop	
		End If

		
'## Start Mod to hide sub foruns on first page ##
	%>
<!--</table>
<br />--><%
'## End Mod to hide sub foruns on first page ###
     
	'Loop back round for next category
	Loop
End If

'## Start Mod to hide sub foruns on first page ##
%>
</table>
<br /><%
'## End Mod to hide sub foruns on first page ##


'Clean up
Call closeDatabase()

It worked just good for me...
