create forums just like the first four forums on this site?

[bluebells]

Is it possible to create forums just like first four forums on this site? For example, the Rules and Important Points forum, Announcement/Updates forum, Frequesntly Asked Questions forum and Tricks & Tips forum? The 1st and 2nd forum seem to combine together. I think this is a good feature because this will keep the scrolling to minimum. If this is possible, how do I do that?

Hi, I thought there was a tutorial or a trick on how to do this, but it seems to have dissapeared

Here's how it's done:
> You need to create a forum named " " (without the "")
> You create each subforum - the forums you wat displayed
> Back at the description of your specially named " ", use thecode mentionned below
> Go to the Hierachy (Admin Panel => General => Homepage => Hierachy) and set it to Medium

The code:

<a href="link 1" style="float: left;"><img src="image 1" alt="" /></a><span style="float: left; width: 30%; margin-left: 5px;"><a href="link 1" class="forumtitle">forum name 1</a><br />description 1</span><span style="float: right; width: 35%; margin-left: 10px;"><a href="link 2" class="forumtitle">forum name 2</a><br />description 2</span><a href="link 2" style="float: right;"><img src="image 2" alt="" /></a><span style="clear: both; border-top: 1px solid #FFFFFF; display: block; margin-bottom: 10px;">

In gold: links, and what you'll want to edit
In red: The line break, repeat the code for each line, removing the line at the end

a quick question about this trick, do you need to have a picture for each forum? and if not, what do you put in those places?

drag

[Caihlem]

Just remove the code relevant to the image if you don't want it

[Guest]

IT won't let me make a forum without a name and it counts " " as not a name.

Hope you can help

Caihlem,

I wanted to know what part of the code you edit if you wanted to make the font BIGGER and wha to edit if you want to change the color of the font?

Drag

[Caihlem]

Wierd, for me the " " works fine though

Color: <font color="">text</font>
Size: <font size=>text</font>

About the links, which links should I replace with link 1 and link 2?

[Adiex]

hello,

you should replace those link with your own link. let say, if you want to link it on news section, just copy you news section link and paste it there. and be advise that link 1 & link 2 are different link.

after your done following caihem instruction there, just set the hierarchy as medium & dont forget to look to this option on you homepage hierarchy setting.

Sub-level links on index > set it to NO

EDIT :
i got this wierd problem, all look fine but i couldn't get rid that forum name , take a look

[Guest]

thank you for the tutorial Caihlem, It worked out fine on my site!

*bump* plz help

[Guest]

I am working on it

[nai kiba]

bump

[nai kiba]

for get it, seeing how no one cares im just giving up on this idea for my forum

[tyhodge07]

make a category and label it About _______ : (whatever ur site is or however you want it)

and than make a forum attached to that, and where u make the title of it put

Code:

 <strong></strong>

in and than in the description at the bottom, put the code above that you have.

and than for your announcments, suggestions, help or whatever your using, youll have to move to the About _____ category and than use them url links into the code.

if you want just a rules, make a rules forum and than lock it when u create it, than open a topic in it than make the rules, than lock that, than take that url and post it in the code for your rules, etc.. (youll take it from the post, not the forum) also add the strong /strong code in for all the forums you make, than ull also have to turn the little icons off in your settings or they will just stay there

[nai kiba]

ok i got it to work kind of
