A Question...


Hi Lesigner Girl,

Our old Tips and Trick Board, Mr Fu explains something about the subforum effect with css on mainpage.

Here you can check it:

Sadly his test sites link is dead, so i couldn't see the example.

You have any clue what he's talking about and how?

Thanks.

Hi Redsun9,

Mr Fu was describing a idea where you create the forums the way you normally would then hide them with your CSS. This way the only obvious way to get to those forums would be via menus or links you have on your board (thus creating the illusion that you had sub-forums).

I am planning on having this trick in place on the next skin I create just as soon as I can gather the graphics together to build it...

And you can also hide select forums on the main page via CSS, making them easily available only through menus or links posted at other forums or such.



I don't know what method he used, but you could try this:

#fl_td_1_1, #fl_td_1_2, #fl_td_1_3, #fl_td_1_4, #fl_td_1_5 {
    display: none;
}


You would need the mouseover trick enabled for it to work.

The number in red is the number for the row you want to hide. In this case, it would be the first forum in the forum list. If you want the 2nd forum hidden, for example, just change it to 2.

I didn't test this, but it should work.

Just know that, if you hide a forum from the main page like this, you'll have to actually go into that forum to see if there are any new posts.
