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!

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

<h2><?php _e('Forums'); ?></h2>

<table id="forumlist">

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

[@emilegoss Member 15 years, 4 months ago]

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

[@jimmyvt Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

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

[@emilegoss Member 15 years, 4 months ago]

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; ?>
