| uCoz forum with sub-boards |
(This code isn't made by me. I found it in random Russian forum and made tutorial)
1. Create a main board for holding sub-boards. (Ex: Jade Dynasty) 2. Create boards which will be your sub-boards. (Ex: JD Discussion, JD Media) 3. Save your sub-board urls - will be needed for links. 4. CP -> Customize Design -> General appearance of forum pages. 5. Find the $BODY$ code (F3 for search) and paste this code after it:
Code <script type="text/javascript"> link=document.getElementsByTagName('a'); hideForums=new Array('JD Discussion'); for(k=0;k<hideForums.length;k++){ for(i=0;i<link.length;i++){ if(link[i].className=='forum' && link[i].innerHTML==hideForums[k]){ link[i].parentNode.parentNode.style.display='none'; } } } </script>
Code <script type="text/javascript"> link=document.getElementsByTagName('a'); hideForums=new Array('JD Discussion','JD Media'); for(k=0;k<hideForums.length;k++){ for(i=0;i<link.length;i++){ if(link[i].className=='forum' && link[i].innerHTML==hideForums[k]){ link[i].parentNode.parentNode.style.display='none'; } } } </script> Note: This code was unwrapped from .js file for faster rendering. 5. Inside the code you can see: 'JD Discussion' and 'JD Discussion','JD Media'. 6. Modify JD Discussion and JD Media to your sub-board names. (Exactly) 7. Go to your forum - the sub-boards you created are gone. (Invisible) 8. CP -> Forum Module -> Management of forums and sections. 9. Edit the board you want to hold the sub-boards. In description: Code <br>Subforums: <a href="http://ccteam.ucoz.net/forum/53">Discussion</a> | <a href="http://ccteam.ucoz.net/forum/54">Media</a> Note: You can use any other system, like <ul> and <li> but only HTML is supported. 10. Modify:
http://ccteam.ucoz.net/forum/54 - to your sub-boards url. Discussion - to your sub-boards name. Media - to your sub-boards name. 11. If you want to have only one sub-board: Code <br>Subforum: <a href="http://ccteam.ucoz.net/forum/53">Discussion</a> Note: If something isn't working or isn't clear, do not hesitate to discuss the problem.

Thanks for the help! Little difficult to follow with no html experience but I still managed. One question, can you make sub forums of sub forums?
Edit: How do create more then 2 sub forums? Post edited by IndexForums - Sunday, 2011-03-13, 8:23 PM

IndexForums,
1 question is no 2. answer is yes Quote <script type="text/javascript"> link=document.getElementsByTagName('a'); hideForums=new Array('JD Discussion','JD Media','new name'); for(k=0;k<hideForums.length;k++){ for(i=0;i<link.length;i++){ if(link[i].className=='forum' && link[i].innerHTML==hideForums[k]){ link[i].parentNode.parentNode.style.display='none'; } } } </script>
Quote <br>Subforums: <a href="http://ccteam.ucoz.net/forum/53">Discussion</a> | <a href="http://ccteam.ucoz.net/forum/54">Media</a> | <a href="http://ccteam.ucoz.net/forum/54">new name</a> To busy building a passive income online ;)

Once I add this code in it works fine
Quote <br>Subforums: <a href="http://ccteam.ucoz.net/forum/53">Discussion</a> | <a href="http://ccteam.ucoz.net/forum/54">Media</a> | <a href="http://ccteam.ucoz.net/forum/54">new name</a> but if I change "Discussion" to "Motherboards" and click save it shows an x and comes up with this message Forum description specified incorrectly. If I take out the s it will let me save it. I also tried to change "Discussion" to "CPUs and Overclocking" the x shows up again and the message is shown again. The only way it let me save the changes is if I took out every letter except CP. Why is it doing this? Edit: Found out why.. cannot exceed 200 characters. I need to add like ten sub forums, is there anyway to change the maximum characters? Post edited by IndexForums - Monday, 2011-03-14, 0:20 AM

Quote (IndexForums) is there anyway to change the maximum characters? If You Want To Change The Message Length Then. CP>Settings>Common Settings>Module Settings(Up right corner)>Forum>Maximum message length: And If You're Saying For Another Then It's Not Possible.

IndexForums,
Quote (IndexForums) Found out why.. cannot exceed 200 characters. I need to add like ten sub forums, is there anyway to change the maximum characters if you mean "Forum description:" field in CP->Main » Forum » Management of forums and sections » New forum, text length cannot exceed 200 characters and it can't be changed. |
I can't make the website I was looking to make since I can't make many sub forums. I guess I just got to modify, any suggestions on how to create a lot of forums?

IndexForums, be you cannot create more then 1 forum in your websites , but you can make several forum boards and sections
this will help you To busy building a passive income online ;)

IndexForums,
Quote (IndexForums) I can't make the website I was looking to make since I can't make many sub forums. I guess I just got to modify, any suggestions on how to create a lot of forums maybe you misunderstand something. The thing we are talking about is only a Forum description. How is it connected with the number of sub-forum that you may create? It is possible to create up to 1,000 sub-forums. To do so go to CP->Main » Forum » Management of forums and sections » New forum. Forums can be created within sections. I hope this is an answer to your question. |
I was just planning on a website with a lot of forum sections. I was going to add sub-forums to lower the cluster problem, but since you can't change the 200 character limit in the forum description I'm only able to create 2 sub-forums before exceeding the 200 character limit.
Kness, I had to read the script about twenty times to get any sense on what it was saying. I got enough of it to play a trial and error game and eventually figured it out. What don't you exactly get? |
