Look in post-form.php in bb-templates directyr. Copy the file, change it, and put the changed file into my-templates directory. It’s pretty obvious which section it is.
I tried that first thing. The problem is that removing that section of the code makes every thread appear “closed” to replies.
I was able to edit that file and the option is removed when creating a new topic, and old threads will still accept replies.
Here is the change I made:
Remove lines 22 through 28:
<?php if ( is_tag() || is_front() ) : ?>
<label for="forum_id"><?php _e('Pick a section:'); ?>
<?php forum_dropdown(); ?>
</label>
<?php endif; ?>
and insert:
<input type="hidden" name="forum_id" id="forum_id" value="1" />
so that it looks like this:
<?php endif; ?>
<input type="hidden" name="forum_id" id="forum_id" value="1" />
<p class="submit">
That assumes your forum_id is 1. You can check the HTML source of your rendered page to verify the forum_id.
Making those changes worked for me. The drop down for selecting a forum to move a topic is still available for admin.
That works great! Thanks so much, now that i know how to do that it makes stripping everything else down to only use one forum so much easier! thanks again!
No problem – glad it worked for you. If it makes your topics closed to replies, let me know, since I will have the same problem.
