Hiding Sub-Forums

    Greetings,

    After searching and reading around a bit, I still cannot resolve this “issue”. Basically I’d like to hide the sub-forums from my homepage So that only the category or parent forum shows up.

    I came across this post:

    http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hide-subforums-on-main-page

    which seemed to offer a quick fix of replacing one line of code:

    <?php if ( bb_forums() ) : ?>

    to

    <?php if ( bb_forums("depth=1") ) : ?>

    Unfortunately this does not seem to work.

    If any further information is needed, please let me know! Thanks very much!

    Hrmm, that didn’t seem to do the trick for me. That code appears to have some stray “> as well.

    There are some other forum posts about this same thing. Maybe you’d have some luck checking out those?

    I already have, they’re very very old and so any links with code in them (via Postbin) is gone.

    I’d try cutting out this block of code in forum.php:

    <?php if ( bb_forums( $forum_id ) ) : ?>
    <h2><?php _e('Subforums'); ?></h2>
    <table id="forumlist">

    <tr>
    <th><?php _e('Main Theme'); ?></th>
    <th><?php _e('Topics'); ?></th>
    <th><?php _e('Posts'); ?></th>
    </tr>

    <?php while ( bb_forum() ) : ?>
    <tr<?php bb_forum_class(); ?>>
    <td><?php bb_forum_pad( '<div class="nest">' ); ?><a href="<?php forum_link(); ?>"><?php forum_name(); ?></a><small><?php forum_description(); ?></small><?php bb_forum_pad( '</div>' ); ?></td>
    <td class="num"><?php forum_topics(); ?></td>
    <td class="num"><?php forum_posts(); ?></td>
    </tr>
    <?php endwhile; ?>
    </table>
    <?php endif; ?>

    This works for me…

    function bb_forum_depth( ) {

    global $bb_forums_loop;

    if ( !is_object($bb_forums_loop) || !is_a($bb_forums_loop, 'BB_Loop') )

    return false;

    return $bb_forums_loop->walker->depth;

    }

    <?php while ( bb_forum() ) : ?>

    <?php if (bb_get_forum_is_category()) : ?>

    <tr<?php bb_forum_class('bb-category'); ?>>

    <td colspan="3"><?php bb_forum_pad( '<div class="nest">' ); ?>"><?php forum_name(); ?><?php forum_description( array( 'before' => '<small> – ', 'after' => '</small>' ) ); ?><?php bb_forum_pad( '</div>' ); ?></td>

    </tr>

    <?php continue; endif; ?>

    <?php if (bb_forum_depth() <= 2 ) : ?> <!-- ******* -->

    <tr<?php bb_forum_class(); ?>>

    <td><?php bb_forum_pad( '<div class="nest">' ); ?>"><?php forum_name(); ?><?php forum_description( array( 'before' => '<small> – ', 'after' => '</small>' ) ); ?><?php bb_forum_pad( '</div>' ); ?></td>

    <td class="num"><?php forum_topics(); ?></td>

    <td class="num"><?php forum_posts(); ?></td>

    </tr>

    <?php endif; ?><!-- ******* -->

    <?php endwhile; ?>

    Hey hentdan! Thanks for your code snippet, that seemed to do the trick. I tweaked a couple things, namely <?php if (bb_forum_depth() <= 1 ) : ?>.

    Thank you very much!

    Here’s the complete code that’s working for me:

    <?php function bb_forum_depth( ) {
    global $bb_forums_loop;
    if ( !is_object($bb_forums_loop) || !is_a($bb_forums_loop, 'BB_Loop') )
    return false;

    return $bb_forums_loop->walker->depth;
    } ?>

    <?php while ( bb_forum() ) : ?>
    <?php if (bb_get_forum_is_category()) : ?>
    <tr<?php bb_forum_class('bb-category'); ?>>
    <td colspan="3"><?php bb_forum_pad( '<div class="nest">' ); ?><a href="<?php forum_link(); ?>"><?php forum_name(); ?></a><?php forum_description( array( 'before' => '<small> – ', 'after' => '</small>' ) ); ?><?php bb_forum_pad( '</div>' ); ?></td>
    </tr>
    <?php continue; endif; ?>
    <?php if (bb_forum_depth() <= 1 ) : ?> <!-- ******* -->
    <tr<?php bb_forum_class(); ?>>
    <td><?php bb_forum_pad( '<div class="nest">' ); ?><a href="<?php forum_link(); ?>"><?php forum_name(); ?></a><?php forum_description( array( 'before' => '<small> – ', 'after' => '</small>' ) ); ?><?php bb_forum_pad( '</div>' ); ?></td>
    <td class="num"><?php forum_topics(); ?></td>
    <td class="num"><?php forum_posts(); ?></td>
    </tr>
    <?php endif; ?><!-- ******* -->
    <?php endwhile; ?>
