help with Vbulletin

I set up 4 forums with multiple child categories....for some reason they all show up as categories except 1.

I wanted to have only the 4 forums show up on the landing page and the child categories show when you open the forum link.

my url is www.greenerbusinessbureau.com/forum

Any advice you can give will be greatly appreciated

 

You want the subcategories to appear on the frontpage?

Hi again

no, I do not. I want only the forums to show.

 

Well, basically what you need to do is to setup that childforum on a parentforum, not a category.

- Meti

 

I don't see where that is possible...do I need to start over and can I amend whats already there?

 

Have you edited your Forum Display Order in your vboptions ?

 

Actually no, just edit the categories position by editing that specific forum and adding them as childforums for a specific forum.

- Meti

 

Loco....yes I have edited them...I've tried everything I know to make it right.

Meti...when I set it up that is what I did...but only one of the forums appears correctly - the rest look like child forums...even though they are not set up that way.

When I look at the admincp....everything looks correct, but when I look at the front end it is not correct.

Here's part of the list...how it looks in the admin

I don't think anything seems wrong, except that "Solutions", in the "Act as a forum" field should be set to "NO".

- Meti

 

why?

I had wanted for forums: Information, Issues, Solutions, Green Group

each of those has child forums

only the four forums were supposed to show on the main page...

 

I see, well, I suppose I could take a look at it, if you want me to. I work at affordable rates

You'll need to edit the forum display like I said

Here is where you go.

admincp > vboptions > Forum Listings Display Options

This is where you can set which layer of forums is visible form the forumhome and from the forumdisplay.

cheers

 

Exactly what I was going to say after reading the first post...
