IPB 4.5 - Customizing the index page forums listing?

[AndreasW2000]

I have been looking everywhere but did not find some way to customize this:

On the index page of my website I have categories and within them the various forums are listed. However, some forums have multiple subforums. This leads to the pretty ugly effect that ALL of their subforums are also listed on the index page, creating some huge blocks here and there. Where can I customize that I only want to see the categories and forums but not also the subforums?

Do you use Grid or list view because there is a difference in which template you need to edit.

[AndreasW2000]

I use the regular list view, I like it flat and simple on the start page, not cluttered, which is also why I want to avoid the sub-forums all listed in big blocks, those subforums are seldomly used restricted working group areas, so people don't mind the additional click.

[Morrigan]

In forums > front > index > forumRow Find and remove this:

			{{if $forum->hasChildren()}}
				<ul class="ipsDataItem_subList ipsList_inline">
					{{foreach $forum->children() as $subforum}}
						<li class="{{if \IPS\forums\Topic::containerUnread( $subforum )}}ipsDataItem_unread{{endif}}">
							<a href="{$subforum->url()}">{{if \IPS\forums\Topic::containerUnread( $subforum )}}<span class='ipsItemStatus ipsItemStatus_tiny {{if !\IPS\forums\Topic::containerUnread( $subforum ) && !$subforum->redirect_on}}ipsItemStatus_read{{endif}}'><i class="fa fa-circle"></i></span>&nbsp;{{endif}}{$subforum->_title}</a>
						</li>
					{{endforeach}}
				</ul>
			{{endif}}

Ah! You know your way around 🙂

I'll try this immediately.

Yaay! 😄

Thanks so much, worked like a charm!

@Morrigan I've got the same issue.  I'm apparently not as advanced though.  Where do you find that?

Never mind.  Found it.

I'd like to not show the subforums on the grid. How do I make those now show? Been looking everywhere with no luck. I'm rather surprised there is not an option to turn this off or on or make it so you can determine how you want them to be shown, if at all.

[Morrigan]

In forums > front > index > forumGridItem Find and remove this:

 

					{{if $forum->hasChildren()}}
						<h4 class='ipsType_minorHeading ipsSpacer_top'>{lang="subforums"}</h4>
						<ul class="ipsList_inline">
							{{foreach $forum->children() as $subforum}}
							<li class="{{if \IPS\forums\Topic::containerUnread( $subforum )}}ipsDataItem_unread{{endif}}">
								<a href="{$subforum->url()}">
									{{if \IPS\forums\Topic::containerUnread( $subforum )}}
										<span class='ipsItemStatus ipsItemStatus_tiny {{if !\IPS\forums\Topic::containerUnread( $subforum ) && !$subforum->redirect_on}}ipsItemStatus_read{{endif}}'>
											<i class="fa fa-circle"></i>
										</span>
									{{endif}}
									{$subforum->_title}
								</a>
							</li>
							{{endforeach}}
						</ul>
					{{endif}}

@Morrigan Thank you!

It has been about a decade since I've dabbled in this stuff - so please forgive my ignorance.

I'm currently using the most recent IPB, version 4.7. This solution in this thread is exactly what I need, but I haven't a clue how to find/edit "forums > front > index > forumRow".

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Keep in mind that the info above your post is over 2 years old, so the code itself may not work. However...

ACP -> Themes page, click the </> icon to the right of your Theme. On the next page, expand as below:

Thank you Mark!

You're welcome. 🙂

Alternatively, you could just add this to your Custom CSS page.

/* Hide subforums on grid view */
.cForumGrid .ipsType_minorHeading,
.cForumGrid .ipsType_minorHeading + .ipsList_inline{
	display: none;
}

Excellent Insydius, thank you - I needed this too!

We just updated to 4.7.8 today and my subforums are no longer hidden. Neither of the options posted in this thread seem to work now.

Any suggestions on how NOT to display subforums on the front/main Index page in Grid mode?

[teraßyte]

@PBarton Yes, because of the recent UI Polish the CSS changed. You can use this in 4.7.8+ instead:

/* Hide subforums on grid view */
.cForumGrid__subforums {
	display: none;
}
