Hello,
If you want forums which are categories not to be clickable, and to be bolded (to act as real category), here's what you need to do: Open up front-page.php in your template directory for editing and:
1) Add following code right BELOW the <?php bb_get_header(); ?>:
<?php
$forums_that_are_categories = bb_get_option("forum_is_category_forums");
if (!is_array($forums_that_are_categories))
$forums_that_are_categories = array();
?>
2) Look for <?php while ( bb_forum() ) : ?> and first <?php endwhile; ?> after it, and replace everything BETWEEN those with:
<tr<?php bb_forum_class(); ?>>
<td><?php bb_forum_pad( '<div class="nest">' ); ?>
<?php
ob_start();
forum_id();
$fix_forum_id = ob_get_clean();
if (in_array($fix_forum_id, $forums_that_are_categories)) {
echo "<strong>"; forum_name(); echo "</strong>";
}
else {
?>
<a href="<?php forum_link(); ?>"><?php forum_name(); ?></a><small><?php forum_description(); ?></small>
<?php } ?>
<?php bb_forum_pad( '</div>' ); ?></td>
<td class="num"><?php forum_topics(); ?></td>
<td class="num"><?php forum_posts(); ?></td>
</tr>
3) Save and re-upload file.
Hope you like it :-)
