Hi,

We’re creating a forum, which is divided by continent. We want to show the continents, and not the belonging countries. Now, we’ve set the continents as forums, and the countries as category, with the belonging continent as ‘parent’.

How can we get this right?

If you want to achieve a hierarchy like this:

- Continent
 - Country one
 - Country two
-Continent two
 - Country one

Then I would suggest setting up the continents as categories and the countries as forums. If you hide the countries how does the user get to the country forum to post a topic? Or do you give them a direct link or something?

maybe I explained it the wrong way.

We achieved a hierarchy like you mentioned, but on our main forum we only want to show:
– africa
– europe
– etc.

We want the countries to be visible when the user clicks on a continent.
